"The murder of Alex Jeffrey Pretti was not a mistake, or a tragedy, or a misunderstanding. It was a choice. The president of the United States and his regime saw what its masked agents had done to Renee Good and decided to do more of it."

"We have recently seen ICE agents dressing like soldiers, maneuvering like assault teams, and engaging civilians as if they are hostile forces....this is not policing and it is not military service. It is something dangerously undefined."

Trump claims nations pay tariffs--he's dead wrong. U.S. businesses pay the tariffs when goods arrive, NOT foreign governments. AMERICAN COMPANIES & CONSUMERS PAY, not China or anyone else. It’s a self-inflicted tax, & only a dumb fuck would brag it’s a win. www.tinyurl.com/yck34msw

So how exactly do you pay a tariff? Here's a step-by-step breakdown
Businesses must decipher thousands of tariff codes and post $50,000 bonds.
