@wdlindsy Combine cruel mass deportation, 25% tariffs on our #1 source of imported produce (🇲🇽 & 🇨🇦 dominate our agricultural imports), + ongoing crop failures due to worsening climate disasters, & I fear we’ve got a very ugly, inhumane, self-imposed calamity of epic proportions in our very near/immediate future.
