I still hear complaints about money for Ukraine at the expense of US citizens who need help. Yet, no complaints about money for Israel while they openly commit genocide. And cheering loudly for cuts to programs that help.....US citizens. It's as if they're stupid or something.

Knicks had me sweatin bullets! Lol 🏀🔥💙🧡

Throughout my 54 yrs it seems like the more marginalized people do well, the more racist this place becomes. Its never NOT racist, just the degree ebbs and flows. It's high tide, again.

Unwinding all of this will take decades. Sad to know the rest of my life will be marked by reconstruction post Trump. And that's the rosey picture. Good chance we may not recover much at all. My poor kids and unborn grandkids. Smh. To them I say, I'm sorry. 😪

Corporate ebonics 101 in 2025: Clients are now called "Logos." 😂

My shocked face : 😱🫩🙄😒 I said MONTHS ago that he'd do this. It was inevitable. And here I thought they hated socialism. 🤷🏾‍♂️ www.axios.com/2025/04/27/f...

Wow....😳🫣 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/m...

WAPO: “.. ocean-container bookings from China to the U.S. are down by more than 60 percent .. “.. The consequence will be ‘empty shelves in U.S. stores in a few weeks and covid-like shortages for consumers ..’” @davidjlynch.bsky.social @jeffstein.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Rich, tax dodging, unvaccinated, Trump supporting Patriots fans are THE worst people on EARTH.

😂😂😂 ....now, watch Putin stop. Putin is playing this chump for the fool that he is.

RFK is right and wrong about something. Sugar, like a lot of things, can be poisonous if too much is ingested. Sugar by itself is NOT poison. That said, I agree with him that the food industry needs a makeover. He still sucks though.

At some point in the future, stuff like this will come back to haunt us. This is terrible.

And so it goes. NIMBY, then blame everyone else for conditions. God-less humans. Smh. gothamist.com/news/wealthy...

Dude is proving that it's much easier to destroy than it is to build, compromise and govern. So it LOOKS like they're doing alot by comparison.

It's not a good idea to travel abroad. 🙅🏾‍♂️ Not in this environment under this presidency. ❌️

This is EXACTLY how I feel......

Obama still deported a bunch by a WIDE ass margin, so it isn't that WE have a problem with deportation. The problem is this new process, novel rationale and the trampling of rights, like violating peoples 1A,4A, 5A, & 6A rights, to name a few. Deportation isn't the issue.

There should be commercials non stop EVERYWHERE highlighting actual waste fraud and abuse and also what the administration considers waste fraud and abuse. Then tell the people what Repubs plan to do with the money "saved": hand it to people who don't need it, who have the lowest multiplier.

I don't know.....just seems to me that there's easier, simpler, and better ways to share a vision for the future. Whoever the oppo party is, everything should be "this, this or that". Draw comparisons all day. If the people want better, tell them what they need to do, when, how, and why. 🤷🏾‍♂️

'There’s a reason why pharmaceutical tariffs are zero. It’s because tariffs can create disruptions in the supply chain, leading to shortages,' said the chief executive of Johnson and Johnson on.ft.com/4jvT49Q

Wondering the odds, in arrows: ⬇️Civil War but remain in tact afterward ↘️Civil War but break up afterward ➡️World War III ↗️Violent civil unrest; Martial Law ⬆️Continue BAU ↘️Quiet Revolution and Reorder ⬆️Some combination

So, I've pretty much narrowed my media intake to Stacey Patton, Heather Cox Richardson, John Hope Bryant, Lawrence O'Donnell, and The Atlantic. For now, anyway.

When will the Biden Crime Family face justice by being charged with a crime? Same with HRC. 3 AG's and 3 FBI directors, all levers of govt AGAIN and STILL unable to even articulate a crime. Post election and fully capable of referring & charging a crime, no one has anything to say or even care. 🤔

"Sinners" looks like it's gonna be GOOD!!

28th anniversary here today, 32 yrs in the industry in total....I can say with high confidence that these mfers in this administration are full of $hit.

I want to note again how completely insane you have to be for your goal to be a “bilateral trade balance of zero” with every country. Just nutso.

Don't ever be afraid to be disrespectful to those who deserve it when members of Congress and the President are unimaginably worse. We're all human with limits.

Someone in the media COULD ask them why they feel so comfortable lying to the public....

Every single accusation has either been a confession, a blue print of the game plan, or they sabotaged the solution to extend the accusation. Every. Single. One.

And just like that, we're no longer talking about Howard Lutnick's social security disaster. That's how flood the zone and incompetence as a feature works.

Hate to say it, but my cynicism says Dems will fumble this response instead of calling him the hypocritical coward that he is. Damn, just call a spade a spade! Say it with your chest! Be mad at this bullsh!t, gahdamnit!😡 They'll play respectability politics though 🫩 🤡 share.newsbreak.com/c9295ojg

Seems bad.....

You know who WOULDN'T have accidentally shared military plans in advance? The "DEI" hire. Why? Because they would have made sure to triple check, lest the narrative be that they were careless because they weren't a whyte male. That's the burden non whyte men harbor. Took the whyte guy 20 days.

Just keep calling him an ugly liar and the rest of them spineless cowards. Say it again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.

Finally cut the cord! Goodbye FiOS! $200 per month: Internet 500bps = $90 YouTube TV = $83 NetFlix = $27 All better than $350 + Netflix = $377 Made no sense paying all that and only one person watches 2 channels, Hallmark & HGTV. Rest of the family pays for MAX, Hulu, and Prime. I'm GOODT!

Good....stop gatekeeping for money.

Bet none of these Dem voters think Chuck Schumer is fit to lead or fight back against Republicans & Trump. The party needs to ditch the old ways. We want our elected officials to have the same energy that the Republicans are using to destroy this country. @schumer.senate.gov isn’t the one!
