What is the real economic impact of tRUMP’s policies on the US economy? Hard to really know. 6- 7 Billion has been lost in the sunbelt real estate market due to Canadians selling property; $12 billion in lost tourism. Who does is affected the most? Middle class and small/medium size businesses.

Annexing Greenland wouldn’t boost U.S. security—it would isolate America.

Accepting money from a private citizen to pay for government armed services reeks of corruption and sets the stage for privitization of the military. Then he can do whatever he wants, against whoever he wants. That is the definition of autocracy.

Why do networks give airtime to someone like George Santos? It is exactly what he wants and will use it to twist his personal narrative. Please stop this madness!

Maurene Comey's firing from Dept of Justice, Bovel and Pirro's advancing in the federal court confirmation process are really bad signs for the state of our democracy. God help us.

Following a rich white man to war because you didn’t like the sound of a black woman laughing will go down in American history as one of the stupidest things ever.

"President Donald Trump has privately complained that the Supreme Court justices he appointed have not sufficiently stood behind his agenda". Just read this, but I didn't think the Supreme Court's role was to stand by any administration's agenda, but rather the rule of law and the Constitution.

According to NY Times: "Support for Democrats among male voters dropped most dramatically when the party’s presidential candidate was a woman — and rebounded when the party nominated a man." Males will vote male incompetence over female integrity. Stunning. Simply stunning.

Congratulations to the sane folks of Canada, electing Mark Carney to a full term as Prime Minister. I am so excited for you. It is a total rebuke of the orange one. Is it too early to consider annexation of the US? I live in Washington state, and it is a very logical first step.....pretty please?

Hmmm... Let's see, at $8.00 a dozen, that is about $20,000 worth of eggs that the White House "rolled" today. If the China tariffs weren't so steep, they could have potentially used a great knock off. But then I read they handed out wooden eggs as a souvenir. Do wooden eggs roll?

I am so ashamed of what this President and his entire administration is doing to this country. Congress members who support him are just as guilty as he is. Shame on all of them. I wish literally everyone would be impeached, with charges brought against them of crimes against humanity.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

tRUMP declared our booming economy a national emergency so that he could impose these horrific tariffs without congress. And, you might have noticed, that no tariffs were imposed upon Russia. He is doing this in the light of day, and Republicans are as guilty as he is in tanking the US economy.

Carrie McGough @carriemcg.bsky.social · 03/04/2025
tRUMP's wealth has doubled since becoming President, and he has done everything possible to put the well earned retirement of Americans at risk. His business acumen is directed solely at himself and his wealthy friends. If you ever thought that he was looking out for you, you were sorely mistaken.

@melindagates.bsky.social I watched a rerun of Letterman's "My Next Guest Needs No Intoduction". It made me proud to be a woman, a Washingtonian, and activist. As we reel from our government fiasco, I am rereminded of the importance of taking action to build the community we seek. If not us, who?

Trump’s commerce secretary Howard Lutnick says if Social Security skipped a check, his mother-in-law wouldn’t complain—and if you would, it indicates you are probably a fraudster. Insane.

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
