I just want to say, it's not a planning problem. The shipper has to pay the tariff, and they have very little ability to recover the debt, or even to contact, the customer. It's an inversion of how shipping usually works, no amount of planning will help bsky.app/profile/kevi...

Dear Donald,

You’ll always be eclipsed by Barack Hussain Obama. You know it. We know it.

Did you know he’s building a small house on the Sun? You’ll be forever in his shadow.

Unless! You get there first.

And build a mansion.

Warmest regards,
America

PS: Go at night.

Consequences? Still elusive.

So much for justice.

So much for rights.

Good data to peruse, compiled by The Economist from YouGov polls.

Middle-aged White men with less education are the only ones propping up Trump now.

Young cleaver people really disapprove of Trump a lot.

Dumb old folk only disapprove of him a little.

41 States disapprove of him.

BEWARE: Trump collectively punishes any group or State that disapproves of him.

I taunt them. But, then.. they are less likely to attack me because they are cowards at heart.

When leadership hides, the reason is no good

Supreme Court reverses lower court rulings while hiding behind the shadow docket

Congressional Rs hide from press and negotiations, hide on vacation, then hide from constituents

The administration hides their intentions

Trump hides from accountability

I have no sympathy for MAGAts. I hope they go bankrupt. And, no, they'll still never vote for a Black woman.

ICE whistles are a great idea.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

FORM A CROWD
STAY LOUD
PROTECT EACH OTHER
CODE I:
ICE NEARBY
BLOW QUICKLY IN A BROKEN RHYTHM:
PRE-PRE-PRE!
→ ALERTS THE COMMUNITY THAT ICE AGENTS ARE IN THE AREA.

NOISE = VISIBILITY.
CODE 2:
CODE RED
BLOW THREE LONG BLASTS:
PREEEE-PREEEE-PREEEE!
→ ICE IS DETAINING SOMEONE.
FORM A CROWD, STAY LOUD.
DON'T STAY SILENT. STAY NONVIOLENT.
WHY IT WORKS
• INSTANT ALERT
