TAKING AMERICA BACKWARDS: After a recent change by the Trump administration, the federal government no longer explicitly prohibits contractors from having segregated restaurants, waiting rooms and drinking fountains.

Trump’s gilded mugshot guards the Oval Office—a warning to all who pass.

readingthepictures.media/p/trumps-mug...

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

If you are experiencing rage and despair about what is happening in America and the world right now because of the Trump-Vance-Musk regime, you are hardly alone. But a groundswell of opposition is growing. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/ten-reasons-for-optimism

Wise man in a sweater in his home library 📚 contemplating: I don't know what word in the English language --I can't find one-- applies to people who are willing to sacrifice the literal existence of organized human life so they can put a few more dollars into highly stuffed pockets. The word 'evil' doesn't even begin to approach it. ~Noam Chomsky

Wise man…

As we watch another disastrous Trump presidency wreak havoc on our country and institutions, it's worth remembering what those who have worked closest with Trump say about him 👇

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Explain it to us like we're in Bible study.

CORRUPT AF:

At least 11 federal agencies targeted by the Trump-Musk firings and cuts “have more than 32 continuing investigations, pending complaints or enforcement actions into Mr. Musk’s six companies."

Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

YouTube video by Robert Reich The REAL Waste That DOGE Should Cut

DOGE is a trojan horse for Elon to gut labor, consumer, and environmental protections.

If he actually wanted to cut waste, he'd look at the massive tax loopholes, government contracts, and subsidies that benefit the wealthy and large corporations.

Watch my latest video: youtu.be/2hVMghqarHY?...

FACT: Yup, Tesla, the most valuable automaker in the world valued at over $1 trillion, did not pay any federal income tax last year 👇

Most Americans cannot believe we are here, being ruled by this incompetent dictator. All my love for our allies! 💙💙

The Fu*king Nightmare Trump II, week 2

I want to share with you some thoughts about the second horrific week of Trump II.

It’s even worse than I’d imagined. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-fuking...

16 years ago, President Obama made his first foreign trip-to Canada. Diplomacy is greater than being a bully.

The Trump Way 👇

Welcome to the next four years.

Yes! We need more of us in the world right now.

Praise the Broken Promise of America Friends,

Trump has taken a sledgehammer to government ethics by:

-Rescinding Biden's EO outlining ethics commitments for political appointees
-Firing 18 federal inspectors general
-Launching a self-enriching crypto coin

This will be the most corrupt administration in history.
