Trump’s tariffs aren’t making America stronger – they’re making groceries, clothes, and cars more expensive. We’re footing the bill while billionaires cash in.

Factories don’t sprout up overnight. It takes a day to shut one down, but months—sometimes years—to build one back. Trump’s not reversing the damage. He’s just making everything more expensive and calling it patriotism. -end-

We’re honestly on a fast timeline to exactly this.
A cartoon by Cori6 compares two scenarios. The top panel, labeled "PROJECT 1938," shows a group of people, including adults and children, disembarking from a train with a ramp, reminiscent of historical deportations. The bottom panel, labeled "PROJECT 2025," depicts a similar group of people disembarking from an airplane using a mobile staircase, suggesting a modern deportation scenario. The cartoon is signed "Cori6" in the bottom right corner.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha: 💬 "Happy Easter to all....This set of Pysanka-traditional Ukrainian Easter eggs-represents all regions of #Ukraine. Whole, united, and free. The greatest wish of our people." MFA Ukraine / Instagram
The image showcases a vibrant collection of traditional Ukrainian Easter eggs, known as pysanky, each adorned with intricate patterns and vivid colors. These eggs are decorated using a wax-resist method, reflecting the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions of various regions in Ukraine. Each egg is labeled with the name of a region, highlighting the diversity and unique styles from areas such as Poltava, Chernivtsi, Lviv, and others.

The designs range from geometric shapes and floral motifs to symbolic crosses and sunbursts, each carrying its own symbolic meaning. For example, the egg from Poltava features a colorful geometric pattern with a central star, while the one from Lviv showcases a vibrant floral design. The egg from Zhytomyr displays a striking yellow and black geometric pattern, and the one from Kyiv incorporates colorful houses and geometric shapes.

This collection not only celebrates the artistry of pysanky but also serves as a cultural tribute, with credits given to the Honchar museum and Rustem Skybin. The image concludes with a festive "Happy Easter!" greeting, emphasizing the significance of these eggs in Ukrainian Easter celebrations.
