I've finally moved over to BlueSky. Don't think I will totally abandon Twitter just yet until I find it COMPLETELY useless, but I don't plan on being here much.

Grok: - The "de minimis" exemption allowed shipments under a certain value (typically $800) to enter the U.S. duty-free, but the new executive order aims to close this loophole for all countries, not just China, as initially targeted in February 2025.
- This change, announced on April 2, 2025, follows earlier tariffs and de minimis adjustments, including 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico and fluctuating policies on China, reflecting a broader U.S. trade strategy to curb low-value imports.
- Ryan Petersen, CEO of Flexport and a logistics expert, highlights this shift, which could disrupt e-commerce and increase costs for businesses relying on small, frequent shipments once the systems to enforce it are ready.
Can you explain to me, @astoundconnects, why, when removing cable from my internet and cable bundle, I am now paying MORE for my service? How is just internet $222 when you advertise it "as low as $20"??!!

Is it just me, or are influencers flooding our feeds with 'self-care' products as Black Friday approaches? Has 'self-care' become just another excuse for overconsumption and consumerism? 😩 What happened to genuine wellness? What do you think? #SelfCare #Consumerism #BlackFriday

Today, on the anniversary of my father @isaachayes death we have repeatedly asked Donald Trump, the RNC and his representatives not to use “Hold on I’m Coming” written by Isaac Hayes and David Porter during campaign rallies but yet again, in Montana they used it.
Donald Trump represents the worst in integrity and class with his disrespect and sexual abuse of Women and racist rhetoric.
We will now deal with this very swiftly.

What is the difference between Byron Donalds saying life was better for Black Americans under Jim Crow and Byron Dolands heavily implying that life was better for Black Americans under Jim Crow?
I'd argue that there is none.
These fools have lost their damn minds…
* Issac Woodard, a Black WWII Veteran from SC, while in uniform & hours after he was discharged, was racially targeted and brutally attacked & had his eyes gouged out;
* Black folks were treated as subhuman & second class citizens;
* John Lewis and others were beaten, bloodied, and had dogs sicced on them;
*Black communities were paralyzed by Black church bombings, lynchings, cross burnings; and
* Black Americans were prohibited from voting and running from elected office
… and that is just a sample of the horrors and the suffering of Black folks in this country during Jim Crow.
If you want to clown out for a twice-impeached, insurrection loving, convicted felon… it’s America you can do whatever the hell you like, but don’t try to rewrite history and gloss over the pain and horrors that so many Black folks faced under Jim Crow.
So let’s be clear- we aren’t making that living Hell great again!
But if for some odd reason you are still confused… WE WILL NOT GO BACK!

His name is Garrett Foster. Not BLM protester. I'm sick of seeing people dehumanize my husband. @GregAbbott_TX let a White supremacist/murderer (and pedophile by the way) walk. My husband's killer is free to live his life and he has destroyed my life and Garrett's family lives.
Thank you @nathan_sebhasti for writing this helpful article.

I'm OUTRAGED that @NYCMayor has slashed budgets 6x & continues to underinvest in programs my neighbors & I depend on. I contacted him, my @NYCCouncil & @NYCSpeakerAdams to demand a People's Budget w/ #CareNotCuts! Email them now: actionnetwork.org/letters/fy… @peoplesplannyc
NYCB is the worst bank I have ever been a part of. They are charging me for a stuff that they either implied or flat out said were free. You cannot get anything done online, they just refer you to your local branch. I am going to close it.
