I see a future where MAGA families are deported to El Salvador. If you open Pandora's Box, don't be surprised when you get locked in.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.

So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.

So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Does โ€œGolden Ageโ€ refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10โ€“15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americansโ€™ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated โ€œblackโ€ or โ€œhispanicโ€ or โ€œwomanโ€ job

Hey everyone. Itโ€™s Feb 3rd, and the Democrats have been at home since Jan 24th because the house is out of session.

They should have come back, the place is on fire.

Get suing, messaging, demonstrating, speaking, everything and ANYTHING

There is no such fucking thing as being โ€œtoo womanโ€ to pilot a helicopter, โ€œtoo gayโ€ to land a plane or โ€œtoo blackโ€ to be an air traffic controller.

There is however, such a thing as being too hateful, too stupid & too sociopathic to be president.

And we call that Donald Trump.

AP Headline: "Climate Hereโ€™s what the Paris climate agreement does and doesnโ€™t do"

This is an excellent, in-depth article on what leaving the Paris Climate agreement means for the US by @borenbears.bsky.social

One conclusion: "Several experts say the US will lose out on a trillion dollar plus renewable energy boom, leaving other countries like China to rule the green economy."

I realized today that I am more powerful than Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk.

I can say Fuck You Donald Trump.

They may be richer but I am more powerful. And that is a trade I would make every single day.
