Amazon planned to show customers how the tariffs were impacting their charges for products, but the White House went ballistic at the idea. Guess theyโre afraid of the truth! Bezos backed down, making a story that encapsulates much of whatโs wrong AF these days. Link to my piece below.

Just incredible
Those strange noises in the distance are NOT gonna investigate themselves
Am I depressed because of what's happening or am I depressed because of the people who somehow didn't see it coming?
Both. It's both.
You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

Fear has a way of being contagious.
But courage is also contagious.
People I see on e-bikes:
- Seniors staying active and living their best life.
- Moms, dads and kids actually enjoying the school run.
- People getting groceries or running errands
- Service workers commuting on an affordable vehicle
โE-bikes arenโt cheating. Theyโre winning.โ - @pflax1.bsky.social
AOC and Bernie in front of the rally crowd in Denver
Zoomed out crowd shot of 34,000 people in downtown Denver with Colorado mountains in the background
Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernieโs career (and obviously, mine too).
We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.
11,000 people showed up.
Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.
Once you establish that people can be punished because the administration doesn't like their speech, expanding the bounds of who can be treated that way becomes inevitable.
Iโve had three conversations this week with friends feeling threatened enough to consider uprooting their whole lives, because of their gender identity or where they were born.
And members of the US Senate want us to sympathize with what a tough choice it was to surrender last week? Please.
On the subject of people traveling to the US right about now: Fuck, if I were from another country and I didn't need to come, I sure as hell wouldn't, the current administration has made it clear traveling here isn't safe, and why not take them at their word, there's a whole world to visit

In case you need a break from the awfulness, here's an embroidered jellyfish I finished last night--my latest project to avoid doomscrolling before bed.
What he really means to say is that he is a 'pathological liar'. ๐คฌ๐
Trump now says he was โbeing a little bit sarcasticโ when he repeatedly promised to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours.

Donโt let them forget it. No peace for them.
The two party system has to end. These people are holding us hostage.
CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.
Tomorrow is the cloture vote.
KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ
Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.
Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.
We believe that all peopleโregardless of nationality, immigration status, or political affiliationโdeserve equal rights and due process under the law. The Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution guarantees that โNo person shall beโฆ deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.โ
This is how authoritarian regimes test the waters. The first disappearance is a warning. If no one fights back, the next one comes easier. And the one after that. Until fear replaces resistance.
Now, imagine this happening to you. Would anyone fight for you?
There is a real, genuine 1st Amendment crisis in the United States right now.
The government is openly retaliating against anyone with a viewpoint it doesn't like: Pro-Palestinian protesters, law schools teaching Black History, pro-immigration public service loan forgiveness seekers.
Claudia Scheinbaum, President of Mexico, in the centre of the image in a purple dress on International Womenโs Day, 2025. A search around on google fails to turn up an image credit unfortunately, I found it on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/AccidentalRenaissance/s/MGhF9O80FL
HANG IT IN THE LOUVRE.

Donโt forget Senator Warren in TEXAS.
Bernie Sanders led another massive rally in Warren, Michigan on Saturday after his packed Kenosha rally on Friday. He is filling venues with more people than Trump during the campaign. Corporate media refuses to cover it. We cover the full speeches. Here is in Michigan youtu.be/4-oTojJgaFI?...
The VA is why my father is alive today. He received a high level of care bc his doctors knew him and recognized when something was wrong. Continuity of care made the difference between life and death. The utter lack of respect for our veterans is disgusting.
