The president of the United States is threatening genocide. We used to go to war to stop genocides. We beat Nazis. We stood up to murderous dictators. And now we are threatening to be the evil we used stand up to.

I’m not suggesting the moronic senator from Alabama is a xenophobic bigot who should be shunned from society for the rest of his miserable life. I’m saying it plainly. He is a xenophobic bigot who sucks as a senator worse than he sucked as a football coach.

From the NYT. Trump campaigned on peace and has governed with violence.

US trade deficits remain at all time highs despite tariffs (ie: they aren’t working). This was predictable - when we slashed imports other countries responded in kind, slashing our exports. The net result is we are back where we are but now Americans are poorer for paying more for the same outcome.

This beautiful line by @adamserwer.bsky.social is the dichotomy of the humanity of the people in MN against the inhumanity and evilness of the ICE and CBP thugs terrorizing American cities: ICE is “just men with guns who have to hide their faces to shoot a mom in the face, and a nurse in the back.”

Important words from Paul Krugman: “I wish I believed in Hell, because if it did exist, the enablers would be going there along with the monsters.”

Baseball should not adopt a salary cap. I don’t want more teams acting like the Rays or As. I want more teams operating like the Dodgers.

Merriam Webster seems to disagree with the Solicitor General on whether or not a tariff is a tax.

Seems kind of relevant for today and the US writ large right now.

Why RTO is opposed by those like me who have been doing it for years. No amount of office treats, ping pong tables, or water cooler conversations will make me happier or more relaxed than working next to these two.

This is what leadership looks like. Yankees captain Aaron Judge went straight from the game to the hospital to just sit with his injured teammate because he knew his family wasn’t on the west coast with them. What if all leaders acted like this? www.nytimes.com/athletic/635... ‘

Screwing US businesses and US consumers at the same time takes a special type of absolutely idiotic economic policy. Heads we shoot ourselves in the face, tails we shoot ourselves in the face

So we want people to leave their current jobs for $32,118 a year to work in a factory? Yeah, that plan seems like it will work great.

Cruelty is the only point. The Trump freeze order is withholding money from: 1. NC hurricane victims 2. LA fire victims 3. Medicaid recipients 4. Missing & exploited kids 5. Veteran’s suicide prevention 6. Head start education There is no reason to do this other than to harm the most vulnerable

Why people left Twitter and why Elon is nothing more than your old racist uncle at Thanksgiving who had one good idea that he still holds onto although his time has already past

So by killing the bipartisan deal Republicans killed needed funding for pediatric cancer. They stopped money for kids with cancer. On purpose. I sure hope the tax cuts are worth it.
