Trump to try and ruin the American Economy in "New Catastrophic Tax Day".
Using tariffs to stifle the economy, create mass inflation, destroy millions of jobs, the deranged US President intends to add taxes to thousands of products.
Be clear and honest when reporting the news in a crisis.
Mumbled cowardly oatmeal is as big a problem, as big an attack on democracy, as the damaged President.
Be Honest.
Don't mumble.

No matter what issues matter to you, we all have a dog in this fight. We can help stop Trump, Musk, and Republicans in Congress from getting away with their illegal power grab. Join the April 5th protests.
Vance did not visit Greenland.
Because unwelcome.
Vance touched down at a US controlled military base. In the far frozen north, away from towns, not connected by roads.
The base was donated because of friendship, alliance, treaty and NATO, for mutual defence.
Thugs used the honoured friendship base to threaten Greenland.
Thugs.
The stink of Shame like a bad deodorant.
It would stink in every room.
Jens,
The tariffs are a world economy destabilisation, aimed at invading Canada, as well as destabilising and subverting, Europe, and to support the Russian dictator.
Tariffs are also a HUGE tax on the American people, they will crush the economy, stealing wages, while giving trillions to Billionaires.
The dictator(s) make(s) us allies, because it makes us all victims.
Vance is no longer going to Greenland, Vance is instead setting down in a US controlled military base in the far north, not near any town or road.
Its great that antipated demonstrations forced the move, but that the visit was replaced by a stop at a military base that exists because of trust, friendship, of alliances and NATO? What a creepy misuse of a treaty base, what an insult to a people, what an ugly clutch of thugs.
“It looked like a kidnapping,” said Michael Mathis, a 32-year-old software engineer whose surveillance camera picked up the footage of the arrest. “They approach her and start grabbing her with their faces covered. They’re covering their faces. They’re in unmarked vehicles.”
“She’s really interested in developmental aspects of cognition and its overlap with children’s media,” Bilge said. “She’s not an activist person.”
BY THE WAY, IT IS LEGAL TO BE AN "ACTIVIST PERSON" IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LAST TIME I LOOKED AT THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION

When a country’s leaders don’t keep records, they cut off all of a specific type of accountability: the gentle type.
This is Freedom of Information Act requests, subpoenas and legal discovery.
But there are many many forms of accountability. Cutting of the gentle forms is…not a long term strategy.
This is a declaration of obviousness. It still needs official announcement.

The 2026 World Cup is Cancelled.
The 2028 Olympics is Cancelled.
No one is going to the United States.
No one would have attended.
@stux any other country would have had to endure election monitoring on pain of losing their IMF credit limit already.
USA is not a democracy. This is not a 'constitutional crisis'. The Constitution is written down, and quite recently, in plain language by clever foresighted people. It's not the fucking Magna Carta.
MAGA and SCOTUS killed that.
It's not blood in the water. It's dead Jim. #Coup
Here's the funny thing, there is no such thing as race. Racism? Now there is a lot of racism.
Today, racism is a hammer being used to bang bang bang on the democracy, by evil people. Rich evil people.
Hired, not many more than there were before, but they're being paid to be assholes. Racism isnt real, but rich dicks paying assholes to be worse is real.
Its not a change in culture, its a home invasion.
Cultists are a threat to all. Not just killing their own children. Hello, brainwashing by Russian military HELLO, CULTISTS threatening our children.
Hello?!?!!!!
