Such classic gaslighting it's an instructive moment. The question is not whether generic is better or worse, it's that a list with more expensive brand names is not the same as a list with cheaper generics. Perverting that truth into an attack on those calling it out is Manipulation 101.
ICE incident at Rico Fresh
Logan Square, Chicago
Thugs.
Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.
Live from "war ravaged" Portland
I sure hope that happens!
The post soviet downfall vibes are *real* heavy right now in the dissemination of assets to favored billionaires.
In a Hitleresque speech, JD Vance says there can be no unity with the left and vows to use the government to dismantle non-profit NGOs and liberal civil society who he says promote violence and terrorism.
Watch JD Vance's audition as Trump's replacement, preparing for when he and the gang of techno-fascist billionaires backing him—*cough* Peter Thiel *cough*—destroy America, carve it up, and then purchase the broken pieces for cents on the dollar so they can rule over tech-enabled dystopian kingdoms.
Oooooh, Taco will be so jealous! 😂🤣😂🤣 #arresttrump #newsom
Tina Peters was convicted of multiple felonies, including election tampering, and sentenced to nine years in prison. Now Trump is threatening the state of Colorado with “harsh measures” if she’s not released from jail.
This is straight out of a banana republic.
It’s no secret why the Trump administration went after Direct File, a free, easy-to-use tax filing program: it threatens the tax prep companies’ bottom line.
Trump’s tax policy makes life richer for billionaires and harder for just about everyone else.
July 18: If we have a smart president, you're never going to let the dollar slide. If you have a dummy, that could happen.
July 25: A weak dollar makes you a hell of a lot more money. It doesn't sound good, but you make a hell of a lot more money with a weaker dollar than with a strong dollar
Big update: after overnight meetings with the parliamentarian my team successfully got these exemptions stripped from the bill. Special giveaways to protect certain states from these devastating Medicaid cuts is the worst form of hypocrisy.
America doesn't build bananas

DEAN: “What’s the tariff on bananas?”
LUTNICK: “10%.”
DEAN: “Walmart already raised banana prices by 8%.”
LUTNICK: “Well, if you build in America, there’s no tariff.”
DEAN: “You can’t build bananas in America.”
In 2018, Jamal Khashoggi, a columnist for the Washington Post who was critical of the Saudi regime, was assassinated at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. An intelligence assessment released by the U.S. determined that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) personally approved the operation.
250 years ago, Americans rejected a mad king.
On June 14, we’re taking to the streets again for a nationwide day of defiance to say NO KINGS.
Over 600 events are planned in all 50 states to reject authoritarianism and show the world what democracy really looks like: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...
They wear masks. No badges. No names. They raid homes without warrants, detain citizens, and disappear the undocumented. This isn't immigration enforcement—it's secret policing. And it’s happening right now. Full Article: www.facebook.com/share/p/1ASc...
Went out to weed today. As you can see, I'm easily distracted. LOL
Microsoft drops law firm that made a deal with Trump, engaging a firm that is fighting his executive orders

But when we find ourselves surrounded by courageous people and brave institutions, we can more easily find courage inside ourselves.
This is the beauty of solidarity.
