🐾 Today in “What Fresh Hell Is This?
Well, well, well. If it isn’t another day in the dystopian drama that is Trump’s second term. Buckle up, buttercups—here’s your daily dose of “you can’t make this stuff up.”
👉 Tariff Tantrums: Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs are wreaking havoc. States are suing, businesses are bleeding, and the economy is doing the cha-cha into chaos. But hey, who needs allies or a stable market, right? (Wikipedia)
👉 Public Broadcasting Blackout: In a move straight out of the authoritarian playbook, Trump has axed funding for NPR and PBS. Because nothing says “freedom” like silencing the media. (Wikipedia)
👉 Alcatraz Redux: Guess who’s back? Alcatraz! Trump wants to reopen the infamous prison for “America’s most ruthless and violent offenders.” Because when you can’t build a wall, resurrecting a prison island is the next best thing. (Wikipedia)
👉 May Day Mayhem: Over 1,000 protests erupted nationwide on May Day, targeting Trump’s rollback of labor rights and immigrant protections. From LA to NYC, the resistance is alive and kicking. (Wikipedia)
🧾 Today’s To-Do List: Resist, Rinse, Repeat
- Call Your Reps: Demand they support legislation to rein in Trump’s tariff powers. Congress needs to remember it’s a co-equal branch of government, not his personal cheer squad.
- Support Independent Media: With public broadcasting under attack, it’s more important than ever to back independent journalism. Subscribe, donate, and amplify their work.
- Join the Protests: Find a local demonstration or organize one. Your voice matters, and collective action is our superpower.
- Educate Yourself: Stay informed about the administration’s actions. Knowledge is resistance.
- Self-Care: Remember to breathe, hydrate, and take breaks. The revolution needs you at your best.
