Trump's Tariffs: Who Bears the Burden?

  In today’s episode of “Lest We Forget Historical, host Lillian Cauldwell explores the impact of Trump’s tariffs and who will ultimately bear the cost—foreign countries or U.S. citizens.

that “you survived four years of trump” video that’s going around like idk what to tell you but many people did not. many people did not do this

[lazyturtleshell]

y’know. the heralds maybe had a point. instead of entering a recursive cycle of suffering, just let one man be the bearer of all agonies. i want the cycle to end. if that means one person suffering for the sake of everyone.

I live in India and I have family that live in the UK and they’ve all sent their kids to live with relatives abroad the remainder of the summer break bcs of the riots

Yeah my parents would do the same if I was a little kid and that was happening around me. I mean truly people shouldn’t be that alarmed. I feel comfortable traveling there and taking my family there (well as much as I did before). But some of our families have seen and fled from some pretty serious shit and are just not taking any chances.

Anyway. This is something I recently told an IRL friend, but I deleted another friend's number and haven't talked to them for a couple years now for several reasons, a big one being that they turned out to be a lowkey Trump supporter. And one who all but laughed in my face when I admitted that I was scared of being deported or put into a concentration detention camp, at that.

I am a biracial woman who was born, raised, and spent most of my life outside America--if you support Trump I don't care how close we were before, we are no longer friends.

I'm guessing a lot of people have heard this already, but if you are a U.S. citizen and need your passport renewed, the expedited process is taking between 7 to 9 weeks. Many countries around the world require that your passport has at least six months validity remaining when you travel. Get your renewal request in as early as possible before your scheduled travel.

If you have upcoming travel scheduled within 1 to 2 weeks, you may be able to get additional assistance expediting your renewal through a passport agency, but you will need to provide your travel confirmation - plane tickets or the equivalent.

As a last ditch, but often effective, way to go, you can email your Congressperson for help for urgent, unexpected travel. Be prepared to explain why your travel is urgent for business or personal reasons. They may help if it's just a vacation, but they're more likely to help if it's something significant and truly unexpected like family illness or business that cannot be conducted remotely.

A standard passport book is about $130, with additional $60 for expediting.

Hope this helps someone!

Only a few weeks left to vote in the California Primary. I’m running this year for US Senate. I’ve tried voting for the least worst politicians and that hasn’t worked.

As a experiment I’m promoting Campaign Finance Reform with my campaign. I think the only people who count are the ones with the right to vote. Corporations aren’t people, they’re property.

Time for the We The People Amendment! Vote for John Rose and join with me for campaign finance reform.

Congrats on your citizenship! If you’ll be 18 before Election Day, you have the right to vote in federal, state, and local elections. This is your chance to influence the leadership in your community — and in the United States as a whole. In this article, we’ll walk you through the voter registration process.

Learn the voting rules in your state

Voting rules are different in every state. However, with exception to North Dakota, all states require citizens to register if they want to vote. How you register to vote can vary too. In many cases you can register to vote online, at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), or by using the National Voter Registration form.

Check your state’s deadline for registration

You can check your state’s deadline for registering here, and learn about specific details on your state’s voter registration process, by visiting your state or local territory’s election office website. Whether or not you can vote in the upcoming midterm elections, registering to vote now will allow you to vote in the presidential election in 2024, so just do it!

Confirm you’re registered to vote

To confirm you’re registered to vote, you can check your voter registration status online, over the phone, by mail, or in person. Like registering itself, this varies state by state, so it’s helpful to check with your local election office.

When you’re confirming your registration, there are a few things to watch out for:

Your name is accurate and on the voter list

Your address is up to date

The polling place is correct

If you can’t find your name on the voter list, reach out to your election office as soon as possible! Every time you move or change your name you have to update your registration or re-register.

Determine your polling place

Once you’ve registered to vote, your election office will likely send you a voter registration card that tells you your polling place. On Election Day, you’ll go there to vote. You’ll probably need to show an ID before you can vote and if you know you can’t make it to your polling place on Election Day, you might qualify to vote by mail.

Important!

If you’re a lawful permanent resident and not a U.S. citizen, you cannot vote in federal and state elections. It can be confusing because if you’re at the DMV to get your license, the clerk might ask if you want to register to vote. If you accept, there is a risk of deportation.Non-citizens, such as green card holders cannot vote in federal, state, and most local elections. Learn more about who can vote here.

If you have any questions about the U.S. voting process process, USAGov can help! Call at 1-844-USA-GOV1 (1-844-872-4681).
