Americans are going to continue to panic shop, and there will be a short spending spike for the next 90 days during the tariff “pause” - meanwhile the countries who can’t take the hit will play bullshit ball with Trump on speakerphone. By tariff subscription auto-renew in July, wow, look at that, spending in the last three months was bonkers the tariffs worked everyone mission accomplished 🇺🇸🧠📈💣

I didn’t know the joke and thought this was going to be some Mad Max style convoy race, that would be dope. Oh well there’s always🔥🔥🔥🛢️🚛Australian Truck Simulator 🎸🛢️🔥🔥🔥

I, too, want to say “it’s just an opinion piece” but then I remembered the number of American papers whose opinion section have been either obliterated or neutered recently and…yeah. Good for you guys, keep the pressure on.

The Supreme Court going venue shopping, something the conservatives love to rail against. Lovely. Let me attempt to explain this very poorly. This stems from a class action suit from those deported. We have different federal appeal courts covering different areas of the country, 13 of them. Some are considered leaning ideologically more one way than the other. This one was being held in the DC circuit (very centrist imo) which is a sort of catch all. The argument for staying in DC (liberal justices wanted this) was because it was too difficult to figure out where all of these people came from or how many jurisdictions their rights had been violated in - so DC could handle that being the catch all.

The Supreme Court was asked by the DOJ (not exactly but stay with me) to change the venue to Texas instead, and I believe the argument was something about being obvious that that’s where they were all deported out of? This is what the conservatives wanted. The (not stated but very clear) reason for this is because the southern circuit as the name would imply (they’re each numbered but often called by region) is a much more conservative venue. DOJ now get their venue change and yeah that sucks.

Could be worse - could be a tan suit.

Sure, who should I tell first? My congressman was at the last protest? I let him know. I told my senators. They know. It is down to the red and purple states to do the same now, which they are. You can tell us that’s not enough, that we need to go fight some nebulous “them” - but your police don’t carry ar-15s around, or have tanks casually at their disposal. Mine do. And that’s in a solid blue state.

I understand from your end, depending on where you are, it’s terrifying - it is for us too. But trust me when I say we are making progress, but we’ve also only just truly begun.

Anyone have this without the obnoxious Reddit logo to print out and post around?

Edit, if I don’t see one by tonight I see how trivial it is now I’ll go ahead and do it and upload it here 👍

Edit 2, here it is, let’s get these up!

Never forget Rachel Corrie. In 2003 she was killed by an armored bulldozer.

Nice! Yeah let’s keep the momentum going!
