You lost your 401k... and did Trump make money doing it?
He posted "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!" just hours before pausing the tariffs. It's time for everyone to ask House Republicans why they aren't fighting for an investigation into this.

Trump issued an executive order invoking a wartime law the Alien Enemies Act of 1798—a little-known law—would allow the government to deport without due process.

They're trying to deport my colleague from the med school and holding her without counsel. She was coming back from a visit to her family. If there are ways to help I'll let you know. www.providencejournal.com/story/news/l...
She saw family in Lebanon. Now this Brown Medicine doctor is being held at Logan for deportation.

My colleagues and I have been working to break news + write stories holding powerful people accountable.
These are the top stories on our homepage right now, one of which I worked on.
Our newsroom work is continuing.
No one has ever told me what to write. If that changes, I’d speak out and leave.

All the social media posting in the world isn’t going to fix things. Share info, yes. But call your legislators, get involved with mutual aid groups, become a legal observer, take an accompaniment training. Hope can be found in the work.

Arrived at my childhood home to find my brother wearing a “thankful trump won” T-shirt, complete with cartoon turkey.
He knows I work with trans and undocumented folks who are terrified. He chose to wear the shirt the day I arrived. The complete lack of empathy is astounding.
