#trump finally admitted that the #economy isn't doing well.
However in true Republican fashion, he didn't actually take responsibility for anything like an adult.
He blamed it on the past like a child, which I don't think surprised anyone. #maga wouldn't know responsibility if it hit them in the face - the problems in the #usa are never their fault, it's all the libtard Democrats, Biden, or Obama despite him not being in office for a LONG time.
These #judges ruled against #Trump. Then their #families came under attack.
As federal judges rule against the Trump administration in dozens of politically charged cases, the families of at least 11 of the jurists have been targeted with #threats & #harassment.

I had the dumbest conversation of my entire life.
I told someone how #tariffs work, specifically that they are charged to American companies, and are essentially a tax on them which turns into a tax on the consumer when the company raises prices, and don't make money.
They told me I was wrong, and then I sent them the #wikipedia link which said what I said.
They told me Wikipedia was liberal #propaganda and couldn't be trusted.
I gave up and blocked them
So #trump is doing exactly what I thought he was going to do with the #tariffs when he failed to actually strong arm any countries into unfair deals -
He is walking them back, and then saying he cut deals! When in reality things just went back to the previous tariff situation between the #usa and #china before the ABSOLUTELY INSANE trade war.
Then since #maga sheep are profoundly dumb, they'll eat it up and praise him for wrecking our #economy.
Y’ALL
the #FDA under the Trump regime waited for 14 people to die before putting out a #listeria warning with these frozen supplements; ―which are usually used to treat people in a variety of medical recovery situations like #cancer treatment, feeding problems, eating disorders, #dementia and elder care.
this didn’t even happen during Trump 1.0. this is #DOGE and #Project2025 #MAGA fascism
Every time I hear the tangerine dictator speak I’m reminded of what grandma always said: ‘The empty can makes the most noise’.
It didn’t really make sense to me until Trump ran for office in 2015.
"You Will Kill Me!" Shouted a protester in a wheel chair, as they were arrested today in Washington, DC.
They were 1 of 25 people arrested for disrupting a hearing on GOP Medicaid cuts that are projected to render 8.6 million Americans uninsured. But the cuts will make it easier for Republicans to give themselves and their wealthy cronies big tax breaks.

am reposting this meme @MalcolmNance posted without #AltTxt ―of the neonazi group #ProudBoys and #ICE― because it makes the point i made several days ago
❝ Don't be afraid to call things by what they are. #MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d'état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.

"These Christians claim that true compassion comes from rejecting empathy, arguing that empathy gets in the way of speaking what they believe are "hard truths" they need to browbeat alleged sinners with. This is how the conservative Christian convinces himself it's love to deny LGBTQ people their freedom, b/ compelling heterosexuality will get them into heaven. . . . These are the rationalizations of people who want to hate while denying they are hateful."
now you know why both #Russia and #SaudiArabia #OPEC bought themselves #MAGA #GOP and #techbros by the billions ―thru churches, the NRA, Wall Street and outright bribes― to coup themselves into the US government:
“BREAKING: Saudi Arabia And Russia Reportedly Seek To Shelve WHO Action Plan On Climate Change And Health - Health Policy Watch - https://healthpolicy-watch.news/breaking-saudi-arabia-and-russia-seek-to-shelve-who-action-plan-on-climate-and-health/
BTW: this not only shows the petromafia is a death cult; but the link between #Ukraine & #Gaza : Saudis approve of the #genocide
BREAKING: Trump said on Tuesday that it would cost Canada $61 billion to be part of his proposed “Golden Dome” missile defense system, but that it would be free if the country became the 51st U.S. state.
In unrelated news, Canadians haven’t stopped laughing at Trump and his Republican band of red asshats since the announcement.

I'm kind of sick of endless #superhero movies and endless reboots
But I can totally get behind this:
"#JamesGunn Says ‘#Superman’ Is About an ‘#Immigrant That Came From Other Places’ and How We’ve ‘Lost’ the Value of ‘Basic Human Kindness’: ‘Yes, it’s About #Politics’"
So much can be mined from the golden age of comic books which had its roots in fighting #fascism in #WWII
And the silver age and the #civilRights struggle (#XMen)
#PopCulture is a tool to fight #MAGA
BTW really loving the updates from #Minnesota. they showed out to #NoKings even though Indivisible cancelled the event.
this is important.
a mostly white, suburban crowd decided they didn’t need permission to protest fascism. minnesotans decided the moment was more important than the fear of fascist #MAGA #terrorism.
to those of you who carp about the comforts of the hegemonic majority: if not the hegemons, who?
this is what a point of sociological inflection looks like.
BTW there is another low-key protest happening in #Chicago today. if you’re #catholic, you can call it the #NoKings but the King of kings protest, featuring #PopeSouthSide
“Pope Leo to deliver 1st address to US audience in video message in Chicago”
https://abcnews.go.com/US/pope-leo-deliver-1st-address-us-audience-video/story?id=122794475
no, i don’t think it’s a coincidence #PopeLeo chose today for his address. this is counterprogramming. Prevost is notoriously anti #MAGA ; ie: he supports L.A.’s cardinal call for clergy to protect migrants from #ICE
Yup
#MAGA Chuds, no uniform, no ID, Mall Ninja gear, masked, cars without plates, etc
Abducting people
Law enforcement impersonation is a lowgrade problem, it's going to explode
No, it is exploding:

I just grabbed a random headline. There's already many stories
Somebody is going to shoot at them- I'm not endorsing that, it's just inevitable in gun crazy USA if they have no ID
These fucking goons need credentials

Just got home to the news of this attack on Iran to support Israel, a country simultaneously committing war crimes in Gaza. I guess it's who we have been and who we are now but I hope when we get past this Trump regime that we decide -as a country - to never be like this ever again. No more war.
I guess MAGA is about unprovoked war now, right Joe Rogan? Get on board, brother.
this is #trump in 2011 saying #obama is weak so he will start a war with #iran
but pointing out the #hypocrisy is meaningless
today #MAGA is exalting over trump bombing iran
a few months ago they voted for him because he promised no more #USA #war in the #middleEast
🤦
know this:
#fascism has no coherence
it's power by any means
you adhere to principles
they do not
"hypocrisy!" is as useful as correcting the grammar on a notice sending us to concentration camps
they do not fucking care
Well #MAGA, if you liked inflation before now, you’re going to really love what happens with the Strait of Hormuz closed. You fucking cultist dimwits just keep digging a deeper hole for all of us. Fuck you.
"OK so masked #ICE goons kidnapping law abiding people off the street is traumatic but #MAGA just cares about legal #immigration, it's not just some sadistic #racist bullshi-"
"The #NewYork Young #Republican Club (#NYYRC) has called on the federal government to strip Zohran #Mamdani of his #citizenship and deport him"
🤦🤦🤦
Fucking #bigots. All they have is cheating and abuse and lies. All they have
Susan Niemann on her discovery that she descends from a woman hanged for witchcraft during the Salem witch trials:
"The Salem Witch Trials serve as another example of America’s heinous treatment of the poor, the power of religious superstition and extremism, the mass hysteria religion can gin up, and the dangers of intolerance."

Did you know?
#Medicaid #HealthCare #USA #Budget #MAGA
Call your R reps, spread the word if you have D reps. Be sure people know what's about to happen.
Will the coming #Medicaid and #Medicare cuts in the budget bill being voted on now change #MAGA minds?
It will not
You, being reasonable, say government should make policy that benefits everyone. If it makes people suffer, it's bad
But millions of #bigots want this:
"It's ok that I suffer, as long as the people I hate suffer more"
