Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us. So, we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

Replying to @JamesSurowiecki It's also important to understand that the tariff rates that foreign countries are supposedly charging us are just made-up numbers. South Korea, with which we have a trade agreement, is not charging a 50% tariff on U.S. exports. Nor is the EU charging a 39% tariff. = oy o e e e e pers WM 0 ] Jotina W 7% | oo W e ] [ 30} Norsy W sov ] ewam W 50, | [ 172 ] [ovan ] oéan WM 0% | Papan W % | [ 1o% | s W > | [ 10% ] [ 0% ] [0 | [rgentina Mo W0 | owitzerand W 1% | finioncsia W eiv. | Jowaemas WM 07 | oy W00 | Jronoras W 100, B 0% ] s ] [ o ] foisia W 557 ) orat ] [ i ] foerbia | fsingapore W 10% | e W o ] [ 32 ] [ 10 [0} Jcoeanore WMo B 0o | Posratia W 0% | | ose. ] 6:22 PM - Apr 2, 2025 - 384K Views](https://friendica.hellquist.eu/photo/preview/640/4827398 "Post from James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki

"Coup at Columbia? School’s Capitulation to Trump"
"It feels like a kind of racial and ethnic cleansing that is happening on our campuses.”
"Students from abroad, even those with green cards & U.S. citizenship, are now terrified of being swept up in the Trump administration’s crackdown."

30 minutes away from breaking the record. Senator #CoryBooker is still speaking about the importance of the US #Constitution & standing up for the #rights of all #people, especially those who are being targeted by a savage few with the #money & #power to do so.
And he has done it. Senator #CoryBooker has broken Strom Thurmond’s 1957 anti-civil rights filibuster.
“I am not doing this because of him, I am doing this in spite of him.”
“I’m not quite ready to wrap this up yet.”

Senator #CoryBooker has now entered his 22nd hour speaking on the #Senate floor, criticizing the #Trump admin.
If he makes it to 7:19PM ET, he will have surpassed the all time record in US history.
Senator Strom Thurmond’s 1957 civil rights debate on the Senate floor holds the record at 24 hours & 18 minutes long.

Trump and Musk are actively undermining Social Security—firing employees, closing offices and slashing phone support. Their goal? To make the system fail, setting the stage for privatization so Wall Street can gamble with our hard-earned retirement. #Resist

This is a great article on the little things we all can do to help grow the grassroots including sticker activism.
"Thirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now which probably won't magically catalyze a mass movement against Trump but that are still wildly important"
Why? Because others will see you do them, and it will make it easier for them to take their own (slightly less lonely but equally beautiful) action by your side

Learn more about #media #literacy -- knowing the landscape of the mass media, & being critical of what is said, or aware of what is left unsaid.
In #Canada, the majority of large news orgs are owned and/or controlled by right-leaning companies -- think 'Fox News' in print form. While individual #reporters may be dedicated to the craft, their #editorial staff are likely picked to be deferential to their owners politics.

A ten year old girl recovering from brain cancer was deported to Mexico and prevented from attending her necessary follow up appointment
She was a U.S. citizen, but it didn’t matter.
The cruelty is the point.
I hope this sweet kiddo can access the care she needs to make a full recovery, and shame on those ICE agents who thought this was “ok”
This is why we speak out. Unspeakable horrors are happening all around us and if we stay silent, it will change us.
Don’t stay silent. Resist.

Rep Jamie Raskin is encouraging people to send in #FOIA requests to #DOGE to demand an enumeration of what the department knows about each requester. Since DOGE is an official government agency, they are obliged to respond to these requests per the Federal Privacy Act of 1974. US District Judge Casey Cooper has affirmed this as well in a recent ruling.
An explanation of the campaign, and a form letter ready for your customization is found here: jamieraskin.com/doge-privacy-a…

Spotify is literally hosting an Andrew Tate podcast on “how to recruit and exploit women for pornography.”
They were hosting three of them. Two were removed because of public pressure, but one remains. He literally should have no platform for any reason.
Please boycott Spotify until they end this. And contact them to let them know that he’s a repugnant pile of shit who needs to be punched in the face.

In his second inaugural address, Abraham Lincoln profoundly said “A divided house cannot stand.”
Andrew Johnson and Ulysses Grant misunderstood that. (#Putin puppet) Donald Trump weaponized it. And now, sadly, #Washington has fallen.
#Insurrectionists and #fascists should never be pardoned! They should forever be *banned* from the People’s Houses - in Washington DC and all state Capitols! Like the #Constitution says FFS!
