Bracing for impacts from Trump Tariffs
The Trump Tariffs are already causing damage, with shipments in American ports beginning to dry up.

Let’s dig a little bit into how we can get through what’s coming at a day-to-day level.
What if Trump invokes the Insurrection Act?
Trump May Invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act
On his first day in office last January, wannabe king Trump declared a national emergency on our southern border granting him broad powers to repel a non-existent "invasion." (In actual fact, the number of illegal border crossings is at an historic low.) Trump's declaration also gave the departments of Defense and Homeland Security 90 days to produce a report recommending that he invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807.
That report has now come due. Trump could invoke the Insurrection Act at any moment.
The Origin of May Day

Since then, throughout the world May 1st has continued to be a day for social and economic justice movements of all kinds and issues.

You should write letters to the editor

Trump's attacks on the media in his first two months in office
We’re nearly two months into the second Trump regime, and like other wanna-be dictators (such as Viktor Orbán, as chronicled in Democracy Noir), he’s been taking seriously concerning actions to curb press freedom in the United States to put the American people in the dark about his administration’s misdeeds.

San Francisco Stands Up for Science
"Got polio? Me neither. Thanks science!" The signs were nerdy. The labcoats gleamed in the bright afternoon sun. Hundreds, maybe a thousand people gathered in Civic Center Plaza in SF to defend a pillar of our modern world that too many of us take for granted: science.
