Trump has now refunded $128 billion dollars from his tariffs to corporations. Tariffs he created, made Americans pay for, and then returned right back to his donors. We paid, and his friends cashed in.

I'm just enjoying how incredible this picture is in the context of this man holding a job with 2,000 years' worth of history behind it and thinking what all those two millennia of previous Popes would think if they could see/comprehend this. Our world is wild.

I love the show but it drives me batty when contestants say they're looking for clues in how people act as if someone is going to accidentally drop a bloody candlestick or something. There is no "evidence" on this show! It's all "who is acting different that we can turn on?" But Alan Cumming man.

...more people hurt, but she'll still have her moral superiority and that's what matters, I guess. I just hate seeing how much social media and internet-brain just thoroughly cooks even smart, thoughtful people. It's so fucking sad.

I just had to unfollow an activist/journalist that I have respected for a long time but has fully blackpilled and is now saying she "hates all democrats" and hopes every dem who doesn't meet her personal standards on trans issues loses. Because two more years of Republican assaults means...

My initial thought on seeing this was, "Did she really say that or is this overstated?" Oh no. That's literally what she said. This is gross and inexcusable. If you're in Ohio, please tell her office how bad this is and how much she has fucked up.

I know it's not the only explanation, but i really think Fran Lebowitz's argument about AIDS killing off not only all the best artists but also all the best art critics, audiences, and general taste makers can totally account for at least some of this, right?

Fran Liebowitz has talked about how AIDS not only killed off most of the generation's great artists, it also killed the great audiences, leaving behind only rubes and people with lesser taste to ascend up the creative ladders. Trump is the apotheosis of that - bad taste and no personal talent.

I can be skeptical when folk find evidence of Nazism all over the place (as Freud said, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar) but Jesus Christ. This is just undeniable. What other reason would "88" be the chosen dollar amount???

One of the things I hate the most about tariffs is that we knew they were illegal, and when the court finally decided they were illegal, they forced Trump to refund the tariffs. But the refunds went to the corporations, and not the people the corporations raised prices on. What a scam.

Just in case you need another reason to boycott Target - we all paid Trump's tariffs; they hit companies like Target, but they passed on the cost to us, the consumers. Now Target gets $1bn as a gift and the rest of us get...nothing.

It's a core tenet of conservatism that injustice is not wrong so long as it happens to someone else; it's only a crime when it happens to you. BTW, this asshole is 100% voting for any Republican in 2028 who promises to do what was done to his wife but only to black/brown people.

I have so many thoughts and feelings about this but the biggest one is if you are a Dem who even flirts with the idea of having "concerns about men in women's sports" go fuck yourself. You don't get my vote and you don't deserve to be in public office.

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor
The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.
