A reminder that these are the final months of true and honest accounting and accountability for the American financial system to the public as Powell will be replaced in March by a Trump loyalist who is ALREADY on Fox News lying that inflation isnt real

Every time Iโve made the regrettable mistake of engaging one of these losers, Iโve tried to explain that DEI is not limited in scope to race, but the message never lands. The politics of destruction always has collateral damage and hateful ppl never learn this lesson.

Itโs starting to sound like firing everyone possible, fucking over our trading partners, crushing small businesses with tariffs, and completely kneecapping tourism hasnโt had the positive impact on the economy we all thought it would

The base of the Democratic Party is Black people, particularly Black women.
Black people have not abandoned Joe Biden. They know he was one of the best and most capable presidents in nearly a century.
No candidate who bashes Biden will get the support of the Democratic base.
The same losers who swore Biden couldnโt win in 2020 are now insisting you have to trash him to matter in 2028.
Newsom isnโt playing that stupid game. If your whole strategy is throwing Biden under the bus to boost yourself, youโre a loser and youโll never get my support. Sorry.
Newsomโs doing it right: rejecting the media script and standing proudly with the party and what weโve accomplished. Follow his lead.

One of my top vendors, a legal immigrant who came here as a child, who owns a home, has a family and runs a thriving small business, received a letter from DHS saying his work permit/green card are being revoked and he must self-deport. Letโs stop pretending itโs about legality

A 27 year old man in end stage kidney failure was told if he wanted his dialysis he has to sign self deportation papers.
โIf you want to leave, sign. If not, you're going to die here."
Withholding of life saving medical treatment should be considered torture.
That's it. It's time to disband ICE. The culture is too trashed to salvage in any form.
ICE withheld dialysis treatment from a man as a coercion tactic, to force him to sign away his rights. He was told if he didn't sign, they would let him die.

The political party that has spent a generation railing against participation trophies is led by a man who habitually demands participation trophies.

It took Hitler one year to take Germany from a functioning Democracy to Nazi Germany. I often wondered how he transformed Germany so rapidly. I don't wonder any more. Trumpโs right on schedule.

Black folks warned about this and were told to stop being fear mongers. And now here we are.
Clearly our history in this country meant nothing.
๐จ BREAKING: The Supreme Court has agreed to review Donald Trumpโs executive order targeting birthright citizenship, a move that puts the 14th Amendment itself on the table.
If this Court green-lights rewriting the Constitution by executive order, it wonโt stop here.
This is the opening shot in a war over who gets to be American and who doesnโt.
Stay alert.

This is precisely correct. I would add that the Russians could not have done any of it without the inside help of oligarchs in Americaโincluding a small group of immigrant white supremacists who took over Silicon Valley.

Russia is at war with the United States.
The Moscow empire has defeated the American republic in four major campaigns: the Trump-for-President active measure; elite capture of the Republican Party; sponsorship of the MAGA cult; and poisoning news media with information warfare.

If someone is Christian, there is no battle. Christ was radically empathetic and rejected when the Pharisees would criticize Him or test Him with people they considered "less than" or not worthy to be in their company.
So if someone believes that then they are not following Jesus

This is a must read. The most in depth understanding of how corrupt our foreign policy has become. Trump and Witkoff (Rubio totally sidelined) are proposing to sell out Ukraine in exchange for Russian deals for their billionaire crowd.
Not about peace. Just about profit.
WSJ with a devastating, intensely-sourced article demonstrating how Trump, Kushner, and Witkoff tried to sellout Ukraine, the U.S., and Europe for money. It's so bad one of our European allies shared evidence of the planned business deals. A must-read.
