We are beginning to see businesses and data showing slow growth. The stock market has been hoping on tax cuts to keep the markets lifted and canceling out tariff costs. It will probably be another month or two before we see the impact of goods unite us movement.

… Amanda Litman, President of ‘RunForSomething’: “The future of the Democratic Party will not be shaped by think tanks, pollsters, ad makers, or consultants. It will be shaped by people literally running as Democrats over the next few years....". Time to rebuild.

… Axios reports that Democrats in Congress are meeting with state AGs, law firms, constitutional experts, and advocacy organizations to work on a coordinated strategy to use the courts, demonstrations, and legislative actions in congressional hearings...

Winning is mostly about taking full advantage of an opponents mistakes, and making limited mistakes ourselves. Once the game appears over, the losing fans leave the stadium. It's never too late for a comeback this early in the game.

I received an email from democrats asking for a donation to build the long term infrastructure to elect democrats at every level of government. Question: what have you been doing with contributions for the last 30 years? Isn't it a little late to start that type of project.

We tell small children not to touch a hot stove in order to teach them and protect them from harm. There are those who can not ve taught, and they need to have their hand burned for the lesson to be learned. We can only hope those burns will heal overtime and not leave everlasting scars.

Demilitarized zones or DMZ should be the first solution to a violent conflict. As we see in north and south Korea, many lives have been saved with this approach. International mediation of these zones allow conflict resolution. Over generations the past atrocities fade to peace.

The tide has turned. Griffin says Trump's 'bombastic rhetoric' is mistake eroding trust in America www.cnbc.com/2025/02/11/k...

We are only alone when we don't look out the window. We have many friends outside who have our values, and those friends are asking us to join them and support each other.

The earnest are becoming wise. The diligent are finding paths. The hopeful are finding purpose.

The next president of the u.s. should be on the front lines of defending truth and democracy. Only with the truth can justice be served. Those in silence are not ready to lead. Those that delay for self-servance are likely corrupt.

A working-class economy is not pro-institutional but asking institutions to protect that economy from outside forces which can harm it. Democrats need to change their focus away from institutions and toward policies that benefit a working class economy. The old messaging did not work, time to change

With battle lines drawn, the battle begins with hardened soul, long in determination, relentless perseverance, calculating demeanor, and a heart knowing surviving each day is a beat towards victory.

As darkness decends, a chill is felt down to your bones. The sky turns dark and your shadow disappears. You create a flicker of light which seems brighter than it should. You realize the glow behind you are those like you on the same journey and your shadow returns.

With California hinting at seceding from the union and with 22 states suing the federal government, a working class economy may take from different approaches. A 13 trillion dollar economy with 150 million people is very strong as Canada, Mexico and others would do business with us and not them.

When a child has a temper tantrum , the best thing to do is let it play out, eventually the tantrum ends, and your left with a tired and confused child who got nothing for all the effort and the kid just wants to go to bed. Do not reward bad behavior.

If your using an oligarchs chat or messenger service, move to open source options like Signal App from signal foundation. This is a 501c non-profit business. This is an open source solution. I can tell from comments on substack, that we are beginning to mobilize away from oligarchs.

The U.S. GDP is about 21 trillion dollars. Democratic states provide more than 50% of that GDP vs republican states. We don't need oligarchs to survive. We need to trap our money within our working class economy. Use the goods unite us app and choose the economy you want to support.

There is a call being made for boycotts against oligarchs who have handcuffed the working class. When we begin building a working-class economy and we purchase from "Shop freedom" brands, opportunity is born from which a key arises to unlock our potential. Once we are free, we never look back.

After some interaction with others, I am shifting to the term "working-class" economy to prevent confusion. Anyone upper-middle-income and below is considered working class. Oligarchs are not working class. "Shop Freedom" is the motto for identification.

"Shop Freedom". This moto would be for all of us and all like minded businesses. We know shopping with them will keep our money trapped in the middle-class. We know the values of these businesses. We can generate apps and sites to help us verify the values of businesses. Vote with your wallet.

Don't feed the oligarchs after midnight. Keep your money in a local credit union, use open source communication like bluesky, get news from private organizations with integrity of facts that are billionaire proof, save more money until it can be spent to local businesses with like minded values.

Understanding our role and power in a middle-class economy creates the opportunity to change that economy. How we spend matters, but a sub-economy must evolve for control. A business that re-invests in itself like a 501(c) can expand to trap money within this economy only for the middle-class.

Facts are only good if they are used to our benefit. Approximately 80% of an economy travels through the wallets of the middle-class. Over 20 trillion dollars a year goes through the wallets of the middle-class. It is the middle-class that has the ability to control an economy if they choose.

To prepare and protect values and means, we must admit a truth that an economy must support those values and means. We begin this understanding by recognizing our power in the current economy. We must learn that our spending habits are the key. Change for good comes through control.

We begin our journey with a vision full of hope and change, but with the understanding that only in mass can we have the power from within to fulfill our dreams. As the shadow protects us from mongers of ill, we flourish from the warmth in our hearts.

When lies become the foundation of truth, the creative possibilities of an alternate reality are endless. Those choosing to live in the real world of truth and facts appear distorted, boring and plain.

While telling the truth is honorable, the lies used to cancel lies which are counter to the truth are of equal value but never celebrated - as it should be.

We do not all need to be the same to live our lives to the fullest and stand for our own principles. Live and let live. Be and let go. Stand and be seen. Listen and be heard. The shadow always follows.

The high road is sometimes to steep to climb when being weighed down by others who want your failure. Distraction, subversion and conversion will lighten any burdens.

The rules of nature are fixed with no moral guidelines. The rules of humans are choices based on desires and perceptions. By changing desires and perceptions, the rules can change. Thus, gossip and lies are as powerful as the truth. Using both with good will is required against opposing sides.

When the facts become a burden, burden them with alternate truths to make it difficult to discern what is real. This alternate reality provides control because it is not real, allowing any falsehood to drive the ultimate goal.

It was a gamble for the greater good, a daring act of deception to right the wrongs of a merciless world.
