"japan doesn't buy enough u.s. cars & that's why we are tariffing them." have you perhaps considered. that U.S. cars are monstrously huge in contrast to Japanese cars and in many places would not even fit down the street or in parking spots?? so many of them are literally unthinkable. I drive a tiny Daihatsu over here and STILL I am sometimes nervous about passing on some very narrow roads. like... there is a reason for this (& all the other) trade imbalances & they honestly have very little to do with tariffs on US goods.

just. I KNOw that there is no logic behind all of this, it's just to cause a recession & allow the billionaires to scoop up everything else, but the stupidity of it all somehow continues to surprise me.

As an American, i dont get this mythology around our cars being the best in the world and how everyone wants them. Our cars cant even fit on most European + Asian streets, and Europeans pay the true price of gas without all the subsidies we have here, so more often then not theyre walking/biking/taking public transport. Our cars are the best for US maybe, but anywhere else in the world its like "umm tf am I gonna do with a lifted pickup," yk?

I hope you don't; for me this is our reality. Every day we lose someone we love 💔😔

Last year I lost my uncle and his entire family in a missile attack on his displacement site in Rafah, and Al Jazeera YouTube reported.

Today, I am in pain as I miss the dearest to my heart, my father, who suffered from a stroke that caused him quadriplegia. He could not cope with the catastrophic life as we lived in a tent that was like a grave. His weak body was exposed to malnutrition as a result of not providing the necessary food for his condition, and the severe cold caused him to have a heart attack that led to his immediate death.

I wake up terrified every night. I check on my family, whom I fear will die of cold 🥶😰

And it was not limited to this, but our tent that shelters my family, children, and my brother Samer, who suffers from a chronic illness, was flooded and swept away under the dirt as a result of the heavy rains. Our tent has become worn out and does not protect us from the winds and rain ⛈️⛺

here's the thing about the fucking tariffs. besides Unfairly Punishing Our FUCKING ALLIES YOU MORON- okay okay. anyway. the other thing

the other thing is that we have no manufacturing here

most of the fabric I buy to make my clothes is made overseas. I would actually love to buy wool from a local, unionized woolen mill! I'd be pleased as punch to do that! it's better for the environment and creates good local jobs that don't have a barrier of entry re: college degrees, which we need more of!

except we don't have any more fucking woolen mills because your billionaire ilk outsourced all of them to avoid union rules, OSHA, and paying minimum wage, when those things became commonplace and/or law. you orange fuckface

"buy American instead!!!" okay FROM FUCKING WHERE. we don't MAKE shit here anymore. and the few remaining local producers have been forced to charge exorbitant prices because they're competing with cheap unethical labor practices from big companies, so most people can't afford to buy local

god it's all so fucking stupid and I have to suffer for other people's idiocy that I actively tried to prevent

A quick shitpost...how did he exactly pitch the idea

They call him big E because his hubris' twice the size of nurgle's backside...

Also, Erda design!

Intersexism

Helpful clarification, I keep seeing people use the word intersexism to refer to being intersex.

They are not going to stop their Massacres . They have no intention to stop killing the civilians. The Israeli army bombed Al-Nasser Medical Hospital, resulting in the killing of patients, medical staff, and visitors.

Please do something. We don't want to be killed. We want to save our selves, families and children. All we need to be evacuated safely.

We have no life here in Gaza; only death awaits us—not a natural death, but killing in the most horrific ways.

Help us to be able to go out of Gaza

Gay is a really funny minority because with other minorities it's like "first black president! first female nobel prize winner' or whatever but with gay people it's "first openly gay" because we all already know there's been a bunch of gay ones already. like nobody even disputes this. gay president? yeah pretty sure we've had gay presidents. gay, you know, king of england? what you think none of those motherfuckers have been fucking gay?

@nixon-official

Oh, there were gay presidents before me!

...Not that I'm gay. I'm not gay. I am not a homosexual. I am attracted to WOMEN. Specifically ONE WOMAN. My beautiful wife @patricia-nixon-official. Nixon is not a homosexual. Nixon is a heterosexual man. Period.

Hummina hummina keep telling yourself that Mr president

WHOOOAAAA BAD BOY NIXON HERE! I CAN'T SPEAK FOR NARC NIXON, BUT BAD BOY NIXON IS A PROUD BISEXUAL!

A concerning new study released Monday by the Federal Bureau of Prisons found that the nation’s poverty is growing faster than officials can build prisons. “The data shows that the number of people becoming destitute is currently outstripping our ability to set up new correctional facilities to imprison them,” said agency director Colette Peters, adding that unnecessary red tape, stringent regulations, and irksome health and safety standards are preventing the government from building more cells at the 11.5% growth rate necessary to match the rising number of people who need all their rights taken away.

Full Story

On this month of April we mark the celebration of African Heritage in Honduras, it indicates the arrival of the first Garifuna people in the country 228 years ago and also to the cultural richness of this ethnic community, which represents nearly ten percent of the Honduran population.

The arrival of the Garifuna occurred on April 12, 1797, coming from the island of Saint Vincent in the Lesser Antilles. This occurred due to the rebellion of the Garifuna and their opposition to slavery, which led to their expulsion by the British.

It should also be mentioned that they were originally on their way to Jamaica but were shipwrecked off the Bay Islands, where they settled, founding what is now known as Punta Gorda.

African Heritage Month is considered a national law under Legislative Decree 330-2002, considering that the African presence and culture in Honduras dates back to the early decades of the 16th century.

•••

En este mes de abril se conmemora la Herencia Africana en Honduras, que hace referencia la llegada de los primeros garífunas en el país hace 224 años y también la riqueza cultural de esta comunidad étnica que representa casi el 10 por ciento de la población hondureña.

La llegada de los garífunas ocurrió el 12 de abril de 1797, que provenían de la isla de San Vicente en las Antillas Menores, esto ocurre por la rebeldía de los garífunas y su oposición a la esclavitud que produjo que fueran expulsados por los ingleses de San Vicente.

En este sentido, hay que mencionar que originalmente iban para Jamaica pero naufragaron frente a Isla de la Bahía, lugar donde se quedaron fundado lo que hoy se conoce como Punta Gorda.

El mes de la herencia africana, es considerada una ley nacional bajo el Decreto Legislativo 330-2002 en consideración que la presencia y cultura africana en Honduras se remonta desde las primeras décadas del siglo XVI.
