Trump’s unilateral decision to impose a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico is most likely illegal and most definitely harmful.
Economists estimate that these will increase costs for the average American family by as much as $1,200 a year.
We need to drive prices DOWN, not UP.

Inevitably the same people who lost their shit over Starmer receiving a free concert ticket are now losing their minds because he turned down free membership of a golf course.

Finally added a profile picture 14 months after joining BlueSky. Guess this means I need to start taking the migration from "the cesspit" seriously...

I like Bluesky. I don't mind threads. But until I can see global trending topics and random, inane, frankly ludicrous comments on said topics, I'll always miss Twitter/X/Whateveritsnameisnow.
