Remember: keeping Americans worried about food prices will ensure they will not retaliate against a despotic government. You have to keep the people just poor enough that they are on edge and won’t rock the boat, but not so poor that they feel they have nothing to lose.

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." —FDR, 1937

ā€œNot even poverty and desperation are enough to provoke a social revolution. The are capable of producing personal, or at most, local rebellions, but they are insufficient for arousing the people en mass.

NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more. The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law. No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.

Tomorrow, football fans from across Buenos Aires— together with a wide cross section of society as well as local antifascists— will march in solidarity with retirees who have been beaten & gassed by cops on a weekly basis for daring to demand the right to live out their days in dignity.

Laura Ingraham insisted that tariffs aren't a tax. The definition of the word tariff - a tax or duty to be paid on a particular class of imports or exports. Tariffs are an import tax. I've included part of a segment from PBS from Feb. that breaks it down.
