Watching Newsmax David Harris. DH “Trump got shot in the face and almost died” guy interviewed saying it was the women bodyguards fault because they’re short, unqualified and got the job only because they’re women. Also same for blacks. I could not believe DH said nothing!

For all those folks that think Trump wants Panama for the US, that’s a lie! He’s being sued by Panama for tax evasion, look it up! This goes back to 2019 & before. Typical Trump, he wants revenge. This is NOT for the benefit of the USA.

Posted to X also. Lots of ignorance out there. Trickledown is & always sh*t! Trickle Down Economics" came from Horse Excrement. The theory was if you fed enough oats to a horse he would eventually shit enough undigested oats to feed sparrows.

Random reminder: I've been here since May of last year. It's gratifying to see how many have joined this platform since. Here's to hoping we can continue to use this platform to build worker power and help create an economy where gains are widely shared in 2025 and beyond.

Random reminder: You don't grow the economy through trickle down economics. You grow the economy by investing in workers: their education, health care, child care, transportation, and job training.

I had a discussion with a Trumper. I stressed an IMPORTANT THING is the Senate to agree to NOT take 10 day recesses which would allow a Trump to do Recess Appts which a Senate does not get to review or approve! They love their recesses but this is important! NO 10 DAY RECESSES! He agreed.

I think the Daily Beast communicates the problem best by saying, “In the MAGA world” before they discuss a topic. It’s true because they completely limit their information sources. IGNORANCE IS NOT BLISS, it’s stupid! You can fix ignorance, you can’t fix stupid!!

I love to write. I told a story years ago. Everyone said Wow, you should write that. So I did. Then, everybody said they loved it, “but” and had a critique, all of them different! I did not put it out to the universe after that. Still a wonderful, hilarious story, but just a memory for me.
