Americans voted for cheaper groceries. Less than a week on the job and Trump's already managed to get us into a trade war that will drive up the cost of coffee and be a gut-punch to American farmers and manufacturers, all because Colombia hurt his feelings.

This entire project is *very expliclty* about fully purging black people and women from huge swaths of public life, employment and education. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

It was a Nazi salute. The Hamburglar wore it better. He is a criminal – and it was never about the price of fucking eggs. I will not normalize any of it. Or any of you. Not with poisonous politeness meant to soften the sharp edges of this horror show. www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

If you want further proof that American journalism is dead, the Hollywood Reporter showed more moral clarity in their coverage of Elon Musk’s Nazi salute than the Washington Post, NY Times, LA Times, WSJ, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS or NBC. Cowards all. bit.ly/4gdjnQe

Our message to the media: We are either pushing back on the slide into authoritarianism, or we are enabling it. There is no third option. Both sides-ism is how we got here. As Christian Amanpour said: “Be truthful, not neutral.”

They keep telling us to not be worried. That just makes me more worried. I just have a disconcerted feeling of anxiety that we’re not going to a good place & no one else seems to notice. Like I’m watching us all walk into the scary house with the chainsaw out front & I’m the only one who can see it.
