Merry Christmas 🫶🏾

JUNETEENTH in Harlem.

This is what America is about.

Perhaps the most American holiday of all, Juneteenth honors the very best of what this country can be. It’s a celebration of the courage to fight for freedom, even when the cost is steep.

It’s sad that the president gets angry over this

One Thing Helping Trump’s Approval Rating: Some People Are Not Paying Attention Voters were more likely to approve of President Trump’s job performance if they had not been following some of the major news stories of his first 100 days in office, a recent New York Times/Siena Col...

One thing keeping Trump’s approval ratings from totally collapsing is that some people aren’t paying attention. Trump relies on low-information voters.

That’s why when people ask what we can do, I always say to educate the people around us. Repost the news. Share content. Spread the word.

Wow

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

They said the government was gonna have death panels. 😭

Important 🧵: Stanford political scientist uses data to show DOGE is attacking “liberal” agencies, not focusing on waste & inefficiency: “The hardest hit agencies are those that regulate industry, protect public health, and expand access to education.”

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is booed by protesters as he announces Trump is cutting off funding for high-speed rail between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Instead of dealing with all the planes crashing everywhere, the former “Real World” star is abandoning investments in US infrastructure.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

Fucking nailed it...

Always fighting ghosts. And so long as they inject race into it, they can get millions to accept it in the place of actually making their lives better.

BLM, CRT, DEI, “woke,” antifa

And this has the added benefit of targeting any nascent effort of organizing in which Black ppl are involved.

Absolutely

Roger Goodell, on the NFL’s DEI policies moving forward: “We’re not in this because it’s a trend. It’s about attracting the best talents.”

“I think we’ll continue those efforts.”

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period.

I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.

But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

So Kamala Harris was willing to go on different media forums but got consistently ratfucked and rejected behind the scenes.

Dems and media scapegoated her after the election claiming she was afraid to do non traditional media. @podsaveamerica.crooked.com berated Kamala for not doing Rogan🙄

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

This is the worst one. I've seen lots of bad RFK videos but this is the worst.

I don't know what is more awful, the fact that the guy who might run HHS is casually talking about his belief in eugenics or that he won't look her in the eye when he pitches this racist madness

Staffing was ‘not normal’ at airport tower, according to a preliminary F.A.A. report. Staffing at the air traffic control tower at Ronald Reagan National Airport was “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic,” according to an internal preliminary Federal Aviation Administration safety report about the collision that was reviewed by The New York Times. The controller who was handling helicopters in the airport’s vicinity Wednesday night was also instructing planes that were landing and departing from its runways. Those jobs typically are assigned to two controllers, rather than one.

Trump, Vance, Hegseth, and Combs all said they were briefed on the collision, so they all knew about this internal FAA report when they went on TV to blame minorities for the crash.
