Trump’s allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, & TikTok.
They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ & NY Post.

“Freedom of speech” is now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.
"Terrifying": Poorest Countries & Global Working Class Face Worst Impacts of Trump's Tariffs
This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.
Big importers (Walmart etc) have the scale to bully vendors into dropping costs. Small-medium sized ones can’t, and are forced to raise retail prices to stay alive…making them even less competitive vs the huge chains.
Gorgeous work!
Ok. Putting it up with alt text A screenshot of a tweet from June 17 2022 showing Senator Booker bent over harvesting lettuce in the field, with the caption "BREAKING: @SenBooker is the 2nd U.S. Senator to work alongside farm workers as part of @UFWUpdates/@ufwfoundation #TakeOurJobs campaign.

The more coverage a story gets, the more important readers think it is.

There is a reason that the actual federal faucet has always been controlled by apolitical bureaucrats.
Having a president (or an unelected billionaire) with direct, granular control of a quarter of all U.S. spending is power beyond the Founders’ wildest dreams. 10/x
I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

I wish every Dem office would read this and internalize it. "The only sensible and dignified course of action is to accept that Republicans are in charge and to focus in on making their unpopular actions as painful as possible...The job of the opposition is quite literally to oppose. Get to it."
I used to get the finger from dudebros in oversized trucks . Now I get second looks from all the Subaru drivers :/
