The tariffs were just another CON to manipulate the stock market and profit billions from insider trading and crypto corruption — $2.2 BILLION to be exact, and we paid the bill. Trump’s tariffs cost the average US household $1,500 per year.

Republicans finally agreed to fund all of DHS (including TSA) with the exception of ICE… …until Trump had a tantrum on social media, deployed ICE to our airports, and demanded that the GOP passes his voter suppression legislation first. Trump and Republicans are responsible for the airport chaos.

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box. The Senate must reject this bill.

A coda to this: I've seen people calling it the Epstein Ballroom, and that makes quite a lot of sense. Donations like the ones Trump is so eager to brag about were Epstein's specialty. They were how he insinuated himself into so many powerful places.

This finally arrived and I have a million things to do but I can’t put it down. The Nazis sent over a thousand 🇳🇴teachers to concentration camps for refusing to sign up to Nazi ‘education’ policies.

20 Israeli captives, 1,966 Palestinians. About 1,700 of those are Palestinians captured by Israeli forces over the last 2 years, many held without arrest. Should Israelis have been taken & held hostage? No. Should we be highlighting the disparity in numbers and media focus on the few Israelis? Yes

Know what creates empathy? Books. Reading about people unlike ourselves and experiences we'll never have. Which is why some people want to remove those books and discourage reading. Kids and adults should read widely. Most spend their spare time online, which is where indoctrination often begins.
