Burn it all to the ground and buy up the land and water and minerals at rock bottom prices.

This a fire sale for the oligarchy.

How do I know? They’ve already done it to rural America…

These are the tariffs of the Republican Party-not just Trump. Congress voted to give Trump the authority to do this, & can vote to repeal them at any time. But they won’t, even though many know this will be a disaster, because they are afraid of Trump. So now they own this mess.

How true this is. One thing that can be said about this is now the veil has been lifted. The results of the election in 2024 revealed the hearts and minds of the US voters and who stands with fascist. It’s clearer now more than ever.

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies.

In Denmark:

- Health care and college are free.  

- The starting wage is $22/hr.

- Paid parental leave is 1 year.

- Paid vacation is 6 weeks.  

- All workers get pensions.

Putin & Trump have choreographed a scam where Trump will announce tomorrow that he persuaded Putin to allow a Ukrainian army surrounded to return home, and will use that to try to legitimize Putin’s demands so they can blame Ukraine when they don’t accept them. It is all a lie.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.

Really think about how twisted this all is.

Just bought this book.

Tariff trouble? Nebraska companies, farmers trapped in middle of brewing trade war The recent Trump administration tariffs imposed on that country means that the animal feed company will now pay more for a feed additive for pigs and chickens, a product that can lead to healthier ani...

Nebraska is going to get crushed between Tariffs and Medicaid cuts. They have to balance their state budget and it looks like at least a 200m shortfall this year. BEFORE tariff impacts.

And Nebraska Republicans here ! Curious what you think

This is frightening! How far off is Project Gilead?

Study Abroad Funding Is Paused, Leaving Some Students Stranded The Trump administration stopped State Department funding for scholarships like the Fulbright. Weeks later, it is still unclear when it may resume.

And Joe Biden couldn’t go home for an occasional weekend getaway.

I sure would like to know who has been buying the dips right before Trump announces he has changed his mind and reverses a tariff. Seems like valuable information in the markets to know when he announces a tariff and when he’s going to rescind it.

Why are American taxpayers going to bail out scam artists losing money in the crypto markets?

We are going to borrow more money to pump it into the crypto market to enrich scammers and leeches who produce nothing of value for humanity?

The Real Motive Behind the GOP's “Culture War” | Robert Reich Why do Putin, Trump, and the GOP sound so much alike? Their culture wars have similar agendas: Diverting attention from the economic looting of their respective oligarchies. At its core, it’s all about preserving wealth and power. Why Republicans are NOT the Party of Freedom ►► https://youtu.be/IPzlR_mGQIM

If you think Putin's agenda sounds similar to Trump's, there's a reason for that.

Both are trying to distract from the economic looting by their respective oligarchies.

Watch this video I put out just a few years ago.

Brutal.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

While Donald was shamefully blowing up US diplomacy in the Oval, Edolf was shutting down Social Security offices across the country. I thought Social Security was truly the red line. WHY AREN'T PEOPLE IN THE STREETS? Time, place? I'm there.

📌

THREAD: Since stepping back into the Oval Office Trump's been purposefully flooding the zone w/ a constant stream of outrage porn to distract. Here's the stories that actually matter that you might've missed this week:

The Social Security Administration says it plans to cut some 7,000 jobs The move, which is in line with an executive order from President Trump to slash the federal workforce, raises concerns about staffing at the agency that delivers crucial benefits to Americans.

Elon Musk is destroying Social Security.

Every senior citizen will suffer.

Concur. AOC, Pritzker and Jasmine Crockett just need to start telling Democrats what to do. People want to be led. They're begging for leaders. And current Democratic leadership is derelict.
