They (P25 cronies) want absolute chaos so T can declare martial law. This is not good, we are sliding into darkness FAST.
Trump Tariffs are a tax on the American people.
Retaliatory actions hurt American businesses.
Antagonizing our largest trading partners is spectacularly dumb.
The stock markets are telling you as much.
So is your wallet.
Demand that your reps end this lunacy.

Sharing for visibility. Bernie is unwavering.
Bernie Sanders is holding MASSIVE rallies in packed venues, bigger crowds than Trump was getting, and legacy media is practically silent. Bernie is talking to workers rather than hanging out with socialites with mediocre plastic surgery at Mar-a-Lago, and it's just not interesting to corporate media

My father was born in 1923: as a young man, he was stationed in Munich Germany during World War II. He said the majority of the German people were in denial. That although people were disappearing,& the skies would darken due to ashes from the crematorium, no one would admit what was happening.

Our neighbor was a teenager in Nazi Germany. She compares Trump to Hitler constantly. According to her everyone thought Hitler was great, but things changed so fast that by the time they realized their mistake it was too late. And if you did speak up you didn’t last long.

We know so little about the gut-brain link, the immune system, hormones…the human body in general. I always wonder what we do/use that future generations will see as we see lead paint and barber surgeons.
Is there anyone your read or listen to and it gives you the feeling that our most advanced understanding of something is going to look like the four humors in a couple centuries?
