No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

This about sums it up. Blank pages in a “bible” with the orange asshole’s left hand on top. The unelected real president nudges out his tiny handed minion, also using his left hand.
Very brave of the New Yorker to post this. Hats off!

I’ve cared for infants who stopped breathing w/ pertussis.
School aged kids who died of flu or COVID.
And many of my patients can’t be vaccinated because they’re on chemotherapy or are immune compromised.
Vaccinations save lives of those who get them & those who cannot.
It’s that simple.
