McDonald Clump: β€œMy peasants only need two dolls to choose between.” #Trump, rhymes with #Dump, rhymes with #Chump, rhymes with #Clump.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 86%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 31%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the β€˜deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation.

I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

The difference between Christianity and Christian Nationalism is a Pope who advocated for our most marginalized and a woman who considers him evil for doing so.
So @npr.org reports that there’s a search underway to replace #Hegseth as #SecDef. Well… they put a drunk asshole with no experience running a large organization in charge of the entire US #military. Gee who could have foreseen this????
The #SupremeCourt blocking deportations might be just the excuse that #Trump needs to invoke the Insurrection Act. He could claim that since the courts are preventing him from β€œsecuring the #border”, he has no choice but to use the #military to do it. It’s a great pretext for an aspiring dictator.

US treasury yields spiked today while the dollar tumbled. Japanese yields were down and German yields up and down. Seems like the bond market is already getting more nervous again…
#Stocks are up todayβ€”but US Treasury #bond yields are spiking and the #dollar is substantially weaker today. I wouldn’t bet on the stock market holding up here. The #market signals point to investors losing faith in the US #financial system.
Big surprise, the #economy is threatening to shrink rapidly now that #Clump is taxing Americans on everything they buy. Today WalMart also said it couldn’t determine how badly its income will be affected by all the #chaos.

All these #billionaires who donated to get Clump elected bitching about how #tariffs are gonna hurt business. Boohoo. Let them reap what they have sown. #hypocrites
No shit, right?! Anyone with the most basic understanding of #economics should know that taxing Americans on their imports is bad for #inflation and American consumers. #tariffs #money
Really looking forward to this little gem going transatlantic soon. #ChopChop #Cleavage

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.
If our enemies did to us what Donald Fucking #Trump is doing to is… we would have already declared war on them. This fool is destroying our national wealth and economic integrity by the minute. #economy #tariffs #crash & #burn
