Those who are saying that Americans should make any major household purchases before the Trump and Musk plan to capsize the American economy for everyone but billionaires goes into effect on January 20 are not kidding and we ignore them at our peril
Trump said he will issue executive orders imposing new tariffs on all imported goods from China, Mexico and Canada, the nation’s three largest trading partners, as one of his first acts on Inauguration Day. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Trump promises specific tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico
If enacted, they would violate the 2020 deal that the United States inked with Canada and Mexico during Donald Trump’s first term.

I'm going to be honest I miss the way bluesky was a little bit before election day, but any honest reconciling of why people are coming en masse to Bluesky should start with the communities who came after because after election day they were getting rape threats in their DMs.

Bathroom bans and policies don’t do what they purport to do.
The argument is they're created to 'protect women', but they usually do the opposite.

I studied the Holocaust & the mass slaughter of LGBTQ ppl during that time & thru history. The greatest lesson of the Holocaust was the need for Human Rights [what extremists now call ‘identity politics’ or ‘regulation’]. Most don’t think it impacts them.

Trump’s pal: 1488 combines 2 white supremacist symbols. The first is 14, short for the "14 Words" slogan: "We must secure the existence of our people & a future for white children." The second is 88, which stands for "Heil Hitler" (H is the 8th letter of the alphabet)*. Sleep well! 👀
It really is something that the My Pillow guy is selling his pillows for $14.88 on conservative news networks.
Wonder why that price, specifically. 🤔
