Important economics reminder for all: these tariffs are a tax on US companies paid to the US gov’t. Companies have bottom lines. They’re not going to lose that much margin, especially with shareholders, employees, etc. So that tariff cost is passed onto us: the consumer. Things get more expensive.

The past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway.
And those who warned America about it were right.

I remember when advocating for mercy and compassion was considered Christian.
Now it's considered radical ideology.

No. An executive order cannot simply overturn a Supreme Court ruling. They know that. That’s not the goal. They want three things: (1) to force the current Court to reinterpret the 14th amendment; (2) to test the limits of the executive-judiciary construct; and (3) to humiliate Kamala and her legacy

One thing before tomorrow:
Use your local libraries.
Get your card.
Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.
Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).
Attend promoted activities.
Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.
Tell your kids that libraries are good.
They are.

What happened with tiktok is fucked up. HOWEVER, please don’t let this do what it intended which was to distract us from what is next.

Trump hated TikTok (because China) until it helped him win an election (as even he acknowledges) and now he’s going to save it and take a victory lap. So he’ll have X, TikTok, Insta, and Facebook all working on his behalf. That’s a big difference between now and 2017.

It’s seeming more and more like TikTok 🤝 Meta & don’t get it twisted, I’ll be deleting that account too. Don’t line the pockets of congress members who voted for TikTok to be banned while acquiring meta stock!

I guarantee this is part of the deal they’ve worked out. “I’ll grant you the extension, but you have to shut down, and you have to make it clear to all 170 million users that I’m the one who can and will save you.”

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad
Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆
