Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
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.
1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.
We are very close to a near cure for two of the highest-mortality cancers we know: glioblastoma and pancreatic cancer. These are both mRNA based treatments which are losing their funding during stage I and II trials. Thousands will die needlessly because of this motherfucker and his lies.
Ooh, love to hear this and looking forward to reading it!
Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out.
Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal.
Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home.
That.
Do that.

I have such an urge now to launch a resistance karaoke speakeasy & food swap! Maybe late spring when the garden is going. 😁🎤
We have a sound board, speakers, and two microphones in our living room, plus a pretty hefty collection of tunes. Love home karaoke!
Yes, please!
What an amazing project, Liz! My day job is pretty all-consuming for the next 4-5 months, but maybe I can offer some rusty HTML/CSS or Python project brainstorming later this year?
Incredibly useful guide for how to protect our neighbors and co-workers -- there are fact sheets to share with employers and tips for organizing an ICE watch program.
Four Twin Peaks VHS tapes, lovingly recorded by me off network TV back in the day - commercials edited out on the fly (which was an ART, let me tell you). Just like the best vintage home made mix tapes, these are decorated appropriately with mountains, trees, coffee, donuts, and of course the Black Lodge. Do they still play? No idea, but can I part with them? No. Not yet.
VHS tape flashback in my attic!
I was in a children’s theater company when Twin Peaks first aired and from day one we had viewing parties (coffee & cherry pie required) and we snuck Twin Peaks references into our shows when management wasn’t looking. Those were the (viewing) days!

Paul and Feyd share a sad moment among the spices.
That’s my next audiobook from the library. Really looking forward to it!
Getting that with a streetlamp nearby makes it even more impressive!
Wow! That’s stunning!
Similar to you, I’ve been loading up on audiobooks via the library’s Libby app. I have a lot of data cleansing to do for work right now and I can listen to novels while I’m at it. It’s been wonderful!
I mean, being able to shout “Bingo” after accomplishing some joyous goals is too good to pass up!
Totally stealing it. 😁
Bingo card! That’s brilliant!
I love this. I may need to put “Aggressively Pursue Joy” in frivolously embellished script above my home office desk.
He wrote a widely distributed Wobbly pamphlet called “Sabotage,” but not a book. As much as he’d appreciate the praise from beyond the grave, you’re likely thinking of a different “Sabotage.” It’s probably not an uncommon title!
Or just mention his infamous pamphlet “Sabotage” and I’ll know who wrote it! 😁
What!!! IWW Laborpunk? Holy crap, this is my family. Sneak a mention in there of my “noted IWW agitator” grandfather Walker Conger Smith and I will be forever giddy about it!

I'm just going to say that if you like the work a person does, putting some dollars in their pockets is important right now. AI companies are coming to run everybody they can out of business with a torrent of slop.
It’s Awesome Socks Club packaging plus my feet in Awesome socks!

I just planted 50 flower bulbs and 50 garlic bulbs in my yard and now I want to sleep til Boxing Day.
