The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-69d

I'm just bitter about everything tbh, all of the spilled blood and sacrifices made by our elders reduced to this.

I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover--in just a few short days--that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors.

Let me get this straight. Because crazy white people hope to catch a few brown people, ALL THE PEOPLE have to prove their USA citizenship? This is the work of stupidity.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

We elected a man everyone who matters in this country knew was an idiot. The bulk of them refused to say so openly and directly — either because they thought he could do something for them or because there are political and journalistic norms against speaking that way.

This is what happens when you’re willing to risk it all over ending pronouns and Black history. Hope those cultural wars pay the bills.

When someone says, “Harris lost because of her policies”, and all of her policies would severely help the American people, and she lost anyway, is a Master Class of American misogyny, racism and hate. Tell me why I’m wrong, like I’m 67.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

It's weird to have elected leaders who say they want to crash the economy, reinstate segregation, strip human rights and create a perpetual underclass and then have people ask why are they doing this are they bad at economics ?

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

The longest filibuster in US history was by Strom Thurmond. He spoke for 24 hours and 18 minutes in order to oppose the Civil Rights Act. I think Corey Booker is on a mission, and I think he's going to achieve it.

Frankly, they should plan one of these every week. Delay and prevent this Congress from doing anything.

I've said plenty about Booker in the past, but I'm in on this. For those people saying "this is performative bullshit" yes welcome to politics. But considering most of our leaders are capitulating, I'll take this kind of performance any day of the week

And this is why we are here. Too many people demanding perfection from politicians and not realize that the vast majority of the time change is incremental. So take those incremental wins.

Listen. I believe ardently in criticizing our leaders for their failures and inaction but if you refuse to acknowledge their efforts when they do make them and if you refuse to recognize a step in the right direction, you don’t really want change. You just want to complain.

It’s amazing that only 60 days in I’ve seen way too many people are censoring themselves, pivoting, changing course, and doing everything and anything except using their agency to speak up and speak out. Fear is the only weapon White Supremacy has, and it’s working on far too many people.

Cause as black people in America...what can they do to us that they haven't already done before? And this new set of people are 100% dumber than the last set. So, what is there to be afraid off?

I’m not sure I’m gonna say this correctly, but I think there are a lot of people confused how black people have been fairly … content with a lot of things. You have to understand, when you are shown at like 3 you DO NOT MATTER for most ppl, you learn very quickly how to fend for yourself.
