The only way through all of this is forward. Get involved, organize your friends, hold elected officials accountable. Don’t tell me all is lost. Only the end of the world is the end of the world. Until then, the future is ours to make what we want. How hard are you willing to work?
Elon Musk and Donald Trump think they can rule this country like kings.

House Republicans think they can steal from working families to fund billionaire tax cuts.

They all think we'll sit back and let them get away with it.

They are dead wrong: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/organi...

Every real economist in America warned at the time he was imposing tariffs that it would affect each of these things, and deportations have affected the ability of farmers to access labor. This is all happening because of one man.

How to be a beta cuck like Donald Trump

1. Wreck the trading relationship with your largest export market for farmed goods

2. Drive that country (China) to buy their goods from Argentina

3. Give Argentina $40 billion

4. Go further in debt to give $12 billion to farmers who have no market now

Msn you really got them spun up and lashing out at this lol. But it's true.

Biden did not give us Trump. Harris did not give us Trump.
The voters gave us Trump. Period. The end.
Again, since certain people can't wrap their heads around this pretty simple concept:

If you voted for Kamala, you helped Kamala.

If you voted for Trump, you helped Trump.

If you voted 3rd Party, you helped Trump.

If you stayed home, you helped Trump.

Trumpism = sabotage, plunder, and betrayal.
Not only are tariffs taking on added costs to American consumers, but they’re also pushing our allies closer to our adversaries. President Trump is violating the Constitution with these unlawful tariffs, while threatening our economy and national security.
Trump’s tariffs are pushing Canada closer to China and India
Prime Minister Mark Carney has promised to double non-U.S. exports by 2035. That means making up with two of Canada’s greatest adversaries.

I know there is a lot going on right now but Trump continues to light all the levers of American global power on fire and hand huge wins to Russia and China. It is a form of national surrender, of unprecedented sabotage, that will leave this nation less prosperous, less safe, and far less free.
The headline, the main takeaway from a European viewpoint is this:

The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a sppech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

No one shld lose sight of the fact that the Guard was only in DC as part of an extended political messaging stunt. The shooter is guilty for the attacks/carnage. Donald Trump is responsible for them. This is the collateral damage of Trump abusing his powers as President.
