A reminder that one of the most iconic photos of the twentieth century is a portrait of a federal worker—Ella Watson, then employed cleaning federal offices in Washington DC—and was taken by Gordon Parks, who was also working for the federal government in the FSA's photography division

Bates: He inherited an economy that was the best-performing in the world. But in just two months, he’s crashing that economy with the biggest tax increase on middle-class families in 50 years—raising the prices he promised he would lower, and breaking his number one promise to them.

"All we say to America is, 'Be true to what you said on paper.'"

These words — spoken by MLK Jr. shortly before he was killed on this day in 1968 — ring just as true now.

Let's honor his legacy by continuing the fight for social and economic justice.

Trump's tariffs "would amount to an $880 billion annual tax hike that will be paid not, as Trump insists, by foreigners but by U.S. businesses and consumers. That’s 2.9 percent of gross domestic product, which would make this the largest tax increase since 1942." - @maxboot.bsky.social
Opinion | Trump just imposed the largest tax hike since 1942 without congressional approval
Trump’s tariffs are a tax by another name, and the power to levy taxes lies with Congress.

The Trump administration is clearly still desperate to offset the fact that DOGE is costing the gov't as much as $500 billion in revenue.

Neither the SSA or the economy were in trouble prior to Trump’s inauguration.

It's up to the Democratic Party to take action; so far, they are complaining and asking us to vote for them. We haven't seen affirmative action to fix the problem.
