Tell Trump in a real way you don’t need him. CA is what, 4th largest economy in the world? Start process to secede! Who cares if it really can’t be done, start try push the limits just like Trump we need to fight!
comment in response to post
I have a great way for you to stop ICE/Federal enforcement inside of California. Why not begin the process to secede? I know it’s virtually impossible but Trump doesn’t care about what he should not/can’t do, why should that stop CA from starting to leave the USA.

Unfortunately this is a prelude to the horrible consequences of MAGA policies. I hope it’s only recession & not depression. Be warned June & July will begin the catastrophe that Trump started 4/2 unless a massive reversal happens soon. Luddite Day for the idiots that believe these policies will work

I don’t deal in “what If’s” you could be right. I deal in when it’s happened I respond accordingly. “If” military rolls into my neighborhood we respond not before. That’s just fear driving your actions which is never good lol

Wow, glad someone else sees it. If you believe DOGE was about saving money by cutting waste fraud & abuse, you’re delusional. #Trusk now has access to the greatest information database on every American. What do you think Trump & Musk are gonna use it for?

Amazing a voice of reason in the DNC. He is exactly right all we can do for now & must do is; peacefully protest, organize & prepare for the next election. Anything else, violence, vandalism, or the like will only feed the far right agenda. Remember, we are the civilized ones act like it.

Love the sentiment, not the solution. Elections are what matter you’ll just have to wait for the next one. “Blood“ is a solution you really don’t wanna see or maybe you do and that would be dumb. I agree it might be necessary, but we’re not there yet so be calm.

Apparently, you didn’t watch Waiting for Superman documentary. I know people in the NYC system. I’ve read Chicago, LA, & other major cities have the same problems with teacher union contracts that even new teachers are hard to fire & tenured are Really hard to fire regardless of their performance.
comment in response to post
In your school district maybe. That’s not the case in some of the largest ones. Unions (I do support them) negotiate unworkable deals, they prevent evaluations, have no real standards & subsequently prevent admins effectively managing a quality teaching force. NYC wastes Millions on bad teachers.
comment in response to post
I agree, but there has to be better standards and ways to get rid of bad teachers. While tenure offers protection, there needs to be carve outs for blatant, inappropriate or ineffective teaching. I’m sure you’ve watched Waiting for Superman. A well educators workforce is not only about salary.
comment in response to post
Yeah, I agree. I just worry that hindsight is 2020 and will look back on this and realize it happened before we thought. My panic button is use of the insurrection act.

The charging papers haven’t been filed publicly yet

Judges first, next journalists, and then opposition politicians. People better wake up before we wind up living in China or Russia like society Congress needs to do its job and even members of the GOP there know this is wrong.
comment in response to post
I agree. The only problem I’m having right now is, are we already in the abyss?
comment in response to post
Now they’re arresting judges. People better wake up. Once they start arresting judges, next will be journalist, and then opposing politicians. You had better understand that this leads to authoritarianism. This is not America! If I wanted to live in China or Russia, I’d move! #WAKE-UP-CALL
comment in response to post
Here we go now they’re arresting judges, watch out people!

I think JD Vance did it

Wow, cool let’s burn more coal. That’ll help right? Idiots in DC are destroying our justice system, our economy, so why not the environment too.
comment in response to post
Justice is slow so just relax. They voted 9 to 0 that every person must receive due process. Trump can no longer just pick you up and kick you out. If he does that, that’s not a SCOTUS problem. Other stuff Will work out
 I hope. I know I won’t like everything, but most of them understand the law.
comment in response to post
Buckle up it’s gonna keep getting worse people wake up and save your pennies. Be ready to kick the weak GOP out of power in 18 months. Your vote had consequences if you voted that way. The rest of us knew better.
comment in response to post
That’s aimed at all his billionaire friends because right now a lot of them wanna cut his nuts off. He could care less about us and with the weak GOP thinks. #TrumpTariffs #Recession

“Useful idiot” as Putin would say
comment in response to post
Yup. Distracted by the flashing red & yellow lights instead of focusing on real harm & being robbed by Citizens United under the all mighty dollar

If you believe there has been no progress in over 200 years I really can’t have a rational discussion. I study history. There have been many advancements. Hate & racism will always be around true. Doesn’t mean it is the majority or even plurality’s view. In my lifetime I’ve seen amazing change. Hope

Amanda, the massive effects of these changes will cross all boundaries and political beliefs. Trust me the people will feel it. They don’t need to hear about it. If he continues these tariff/trade policies (paging Walmart Trump voters) the economic fallout, which he was elected on, will crush them.
