Congressman Tells Meidas: Trumpโs Shutdown Was the Plan All Along
open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
Iโm Vance Bostic, Iโm running against Hakeem Jeffries in the June primary for NY-8. WE will use OUR seat as a weapon to:
โ Abolish the sub-minimum wage tip scam!
๐ธ Pass an Artistsโ and Gig Workersโ Bill of Rights!
๐ฅ Vote against funding Israel + redirect funds to Housing & Healthcare for ALL!
Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
So predictable ๐

Of course they did. I listened today to the audio of her saying she never witnessed Trump do anything illegal or out of line, a perfect gentleman. Best part, on tape said she never saw Clinton do anything illegal or out of line a perfect gentleman. Priceless

Cops donโt stop crime. They are too busy beating up protesters or shooting unarmed black men.

17.07.2025 17:52 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I also find the term offensive, definitely in the context you posted. Because its not about states rights, it is about white men using the law to subjugate others that they feel are inferior to them. itโs about the minority control and power over the majority. F-that!

I woke up wondering "What's the best that could happen?"
As a thought experiment, I want to invite you, Reader, to lean into your Main Character energy and imagine the absolute best, healthiest, most sustainable scenario and share it here. It can be personal or global; no limits.

Imagine this is you.
Youโre locked in a cell thousands of miles from home. No one knows where you are. No charges. No trial. No end in sight.
Federal and local law enforcement wearing masks is just plain unamerican. Itโs a cowards move, and shows the fact that the kinds of deportations happening and the methods are, shameful and unpopular.

This is your mid-week reminder that tax cuts for corporations don't create jobs.
You see, what actually happens when corporations get tax cuts, is that they spend the money they save enriching their shareholders with stock buybacks and dividend payments.
Years of multimillion-dollar investments by conservative advocacy groups delivered Trump and congressional Republicansโ Big Beautiful Betrayal.

Folks can argue about the relevancy of the โDemocratic socialistโ label all day. But if thatโs what youโre hung up on, youโre missing the larger point.
People arenโt chasing labels. Theyโre chasing change. Real, structural, unapologetic change.

Lovely picture of Wednesday, a black and white tuxedo cat sitting on a multicolor rug in a room with wood floors.
Here's a picture of Wednesday for your Wednesday.
Grab your coffee and let's get it!
โThe soft power suicide of the U.S. will be incomprehensible to future historians who will be dumbfounded in their attempts to explain why the global leader voluntarily wrecked one of its greatest national assets...โ
