"America’s house is burning down. By this summer, everything will be scorched earth.
Let me be clear. Trump has destroyed America in less than 100 days. Coming back from this DOGE takeover, mob shakedown and chaos is going to take much more than over 1200 marches across America on an April Saturday."

"Project 2025 goals are being met, rapacious religious rascals are in the white house, and pseudo son Musk is DOGE’ing the American public’s safety net and government. If this had been any other country, we would say it was a coup. …
The country we knew is being trashed. Whether we can get it back remains to be seen."
"Trump apologists, Republican officials, and MAGA acolytes are gaslighting the world right now, trying to make you think Donald Trump is an unorthodox genius who is playing 4-D chess as the global economy collapses around us."

"This is really the first time in history that a president has caused you know, a terrible economy. We've had presidents who failed to respond. And Herbert Hoover screwed up or was hapless in response to the Great Depression, but he didn't cause it."

"Donald Trump 40 years ago thought that he was smarter than everybody else and tariffs were the answer. And he never admitted he was wrong. And now he's going to prove that he was right all along, no matter how deep a depression he generates along the way."

Why is Trump engineering a recession? Robert Reich:
"A recession is not necessarily bad for Trump and his billionaire buddies. America’s oligarchy depends on periodic recessions.
Recessions are opportunities to buy up real estate, companies, and shares of stock at bargain-basement prices. Recessions also give political cover to Trump, Musk, and Republican efforts to reduce labor and environmental standards."

@wdlindsy "The worst part was that it all could have been avoided if enough people had simply voted for a competent, Black, Indian American woman. Sadly, racism and greed have always been America’s sins that we have been unwilling and unable to confront." #TheUnAmericanVotersDidThis
@wdlindsy There he is trying to kiss Vladimir Putin again
@wdlindsy And the danger is that if we do more than a peaceful protest, at what threshold does Trump eagerly invoke emergency powers?
