I don’t wanna hear any of you MAGA fucks saying another solitary word about how the idea of reparations for black folks is stupid when you support this bullshit
Mayor Zohran Mamdani mocks Ronald Reagan’s infamous quote.
“I can think of nine words more terrifying than ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help…’”
“I worked all day and can’t feed my family.”
so you're telling me spirit airlines was in trouble, knew they had to do something, and attempted to participate in the free market by allowing jetblue to acquire them.
the government then stepped in and said, “no, you’re not allowed to participate in the free market, " denying the acquisition.
so then spirit, knowing that they were about to fail, seeks a government bailout, only to be told, "no, you must participate in the free market” to which they were denied participation in.
this doesn’t seem like free market capitalism to me.
Donald Trump perpetrated the largest cash grab against the working class ever, and he likely got kick backs for it too.
We the people paid the tariffs, why are the corporations and importers getting the refunds?
$253,000,000,000 gone from the working class. To never be recovered.
Not to mention the inflated prices that will also never come down again despite the tariff being removed.
Step 1: Companies raise prices because of tariffs. We pay.
Step 2: Court says tariffs were illegal. Tax Payers will now pay $166 billion to the companies for their refunds!
NOW WE PAY TWICE! Zero refunds for actual consumers who paid them in the first place.
Companies win, we lose.
Tariff ‘genius’ at its finest. 😂💸"
So businesses raised their prices to offset the tariffs, we the consumers paid those higher prices, and now those same businesses can get reimbursed from the government for tariffs we already covered for them by paying higher prices?? And *they* get a refund and we don’t??
Critical opportunity right now to solidify this point in the minds of voters. Trump said your life would be easier if he ruined the lives of immigrants and trans people, which he is obsessively doing. Is it putting money in your pocket? Is it improving your life in any way?
If 300+ people died and 1,000+ got injured in any place in the world.
London, NYC, Dubai, Toronto, Paris or any "major city" everyone would be screaming TERRORISM.
But when that HAPPENS within 10 minutes in an afternoon in Beirut, Lebanon by Israel suddenly the world switches up.
Disgusting.

🚨 so let me get this straight..
this morning Trump announced he's halting attacks on Iran.. someone made $1.5 billion trading on that news 5 minutes before the announcement..
and now tonight.. the Pentagon is weighing deployment of airtroops to Iran..
so the "peace" that someone made $1.5 billion off of.. lasted about 12 hours..
the pause was never peace.. it was a window.. long enough for someone to collect.. short enough for the war machine to reload..
they halted the attacks just long enough for the markets to move.. and now the troops are going in anyway..
you're not watching geopolitics.. you're watching a trade.
War, gas and groceries through the roof, stagnant wages, unattainable housing for younger people and families, fucking net zero job creation, 92k jobs lost last month. We have gained absolutely NOTHING from the deals guy, the “peace candidate”. You guys have truly fucked us.
JUST FYI...
There is more evidence of @realDonaldTrump being a pedophile revealed in the last year, than there is evidence of Iran having nuclear weapons/capabilities within the past 30 years.
Think about that. Take all the time you need.
Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.
When the DOJ (under President Nixon) sued him in 1973, saying he violated the Fair Housing Act by refusing to lease to black tenants— you said “he’s not racist”…
When he had his black employees removed from his casino floors while he was present in the 80s— you said “he’s not racist”…
When he took out a full page ad in the NYT/NYDN/NYP/NYND newspapers in 1989, to call for the death penalty against the 4 black & 1 latino kids known as the ‘Central Park Five’ (who were exonerated)— you said “he’s not racist”…
When he was quoted in John O’Donnell’s 1991 book saying “Black guys counting my money! I hate it… I think that the [black] guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything they can control”— you said “he’s not racist”…
When he had to pay a $200K fine in 1992 for kicking black dealers off tables at the Trump Plaza & Hotel Casino to accommodate high rollers— you said “he’s not racist”…
When he confirmed, in 1997, “the stuff O’Donnell wrote about me is probably true”— you said “he’s not racist”…
When he publicly pitched (2005) that his show ‘The Apprentice’ should do a season of blacks vs whites— you said “he’s not racist”…
When he started to slander and libel President Obama’s U.S. citizenship status in 2011, repeatedly, because his middle name is “Hussein”— you said “he’s not racist”…
When David Duke (infamous leader of the KKK) endorsed him for President in 2015, and he failed to decry the infamously vile white supremacist’s support— you said “he’s not racist”…
When he has repeatedly harassed, disparaged, and publicly admonished the likes of the Obama’s & their children, Kamala Harris, the late John Lewis, and many other black political leaders— you said “he’s not racist”…
————
He has 5+ decades of being racist PUBLICLY and you still refuse to acknowledge that Donald Trump is and always has been a racist.
Him posting an Ai generated video depicting Michelle & Barack Obama as apes (a repugnant racial trope, that is as old as this country itself, used to disparage black Americans) on HIS SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT, is yet another example of why he is the embodiment of “when someone shows you who they are, believe them”
This isn’t debatable. He is despicable. He has zero class as a human being. And you’re just as disgusting as him if you try to gaslight us into believing his abhorrent post was anything other than what he meant it to be: a racist depiction of a former POTUS/First Lady.
