WATCH — @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “Every dollar we spend bombing people in the Middle East is one we’re not spending here at home. We’re always told we don’t have enough money for schools or healthcare or for veterans, but there’s always enough to bomb people on the other side of the world.”
Isn’t time the Ds replaced Chuck Schumer with this guy? #AcademicSky #universal #news
I wonder how the incel bros who love MAGA’s machoism are going to feel about THAT. #AcademicSky #Universal #news
There’s never enough money for schools or healthcare or veterans.
But there’s always enough money to bomb people on the other side of the world.
We can support the democracy movement in Iran without bombing innocent schoolchildren and sending our American troops off to die.
The real problem is that we have a president who is being blackmailed by Netanyahu and Putin.
Whatever it is, it must be pretty bad.
Why on earth would a GOP Congress go along with this?
The ultimate answer is money.
I'm supporting him big time. I agree with you.
Ah! Ah! Another unspoken reason for the war in Iran. #news #AcademicSky #universal
K-12 education is the stepchild of public policy.Approximately 54% of American adults—about 130 million people aged 16–74—read below the equivalent of a sixth-grade level. I rest my case. #AcademicSky #Universal #news
I urge you to listen to Ezra Klein's podcast with James Talarico. It explores what his faith means to him & he is so cognizant of the bible that he uses scriptures to justify his pro-choice position. He's a true progressive which is what that book proclaims. #AcademicSky #Universal #News
We’re about to take back Texas.

A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔
But he's very progressive. He quotes the bible to support his pro-choice position.
THe reason I used that term, which means someone living by and quoting the bible to support his (progressive) positions, is because it will play well in Texas.
He is a bible-thumping progressive which is exactly what that book preaches. He's going to appeal to many disillusioned Texans, republicans and independents. #AcademicSky #Universal #News #EconSky
No, they just pay the interest and these transactions are completely tax free. They live on the money they borrow and meanwhile, their assets increase in value again, no tax consequences because they don't sell them, they borrow against them.
It's not about taxing billionaires to pay their fair share of taxes on INCOME because that's not where they make their money. We have to tax their net worth because their motto is "Buy, Borrow, Die" and the next generation inherits their wealth intact. #EconSky #Universal #AcademicSky #News
Keystone Kops at work.
IN WHAT CAPACITY???
Trump called it.
In 2019 😜
The U.S. government, R or D, has been lying to us for decades especially when it comes to war news. #AcademicSky #Universal #News #EconSky
NYT article about billionaires, my friend Scott Ellis' quote:
“At some point there’s nothing you can spend money on that actually makes your life materially better, so money simply becomes power,” he said. “The question for us is not how much wealth we want other people to have, but how much power.”

I just published a 2-minute read, "The Fool Hath Said There Is No God: Was King David Saying in Psalm 14 that Atheists Are Fools?. If you like it, please clap for it. Click & hold the applause button to fast-clap to the max of 50; it makes me very happy.

To put things in perspective for American taxpayers, the cost of the 3 planes shot down by Kuwait was $260 to $300 million and the unit cost of the variety of bombs being used is approximately $6 million total. About 50% of Americans have less than $500 in savings. #AcademicSky #Universal #News
Yes, the all-powerful military-industrial complex to which you can add the media - the Dems better have a narrative that repudiates all that has wrought even if it upsets their big donors. #AcademicSky #Universal #News
