So very proud of the mighty LMH Rehab Medicine Team and all they have achieved this year. Thank you for your service!

[Human☮🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸🌊 @4HumanUnity]

Unbelievable that has to be explained to you☝️! What Biden is doing is called reinvesting our tax dollars back into the populace instead of the ultra-wealthy's pockets. Hundreds of millions of Americans depend on our social services, like Social Security, for survival. Your insistence on the contrary only underscores your ignorance, Marjorie.

Republicans consistently distract us with non-issues rather than tackling problems that matter to the majority of Americans.

Over the past half-century, Republican inaction has facilitated a massive $50 trillion wealth transfer from the working class to the top 1%. Republican strategies since the Reagan era have moved this wealth from the middle-class to the rich between 1975 and 2018. Their tax cuts and vast military expenditures have tripled the national debt with little economic return. Current studies indicate an annual $2.5 trillion shift from the working class to the wealthiest 1%.

The Reagan Revolution resulted in workers' wage drops, the end of free education, the rise of big corporations, and deregulation of finance, causing millennials' current struggles with home ownership, business startup, and student debt.

Democrats have opposed these GOP-led, anti-worker policies. Republican politicians are suppressing their voters, favoring the affluent elite over the working class.

The GOP has a base predominantly of white voters uncomfortable with non-white populations, topped by white billionaires who bankroll Republican candidates while seeking to maintain low taxes and high profits. Despite these realities, many Republican voters, blinded by the party's branding and messaging, seem oblivious.

The question is, when will these voters recognize their own subjugation?

The harmful consequences of the past three decades of Republican rule are now glaringly clear:

- Clinton bequeathed a surplus of $63 billion.
- Bush left us with unpaid wars, a $3.3 trillion deficit, a severe recession, and a collapsed housing and stock market.
- Obama inherited this mess, spending trillions to manage unemployment and revive the economy, protecting homes from predatory hedge funds. He left Trump a robust economy.
- Trump, despite benefiting from Obama's groundwork, faltered during adversity. His tax cuts for the ultra-rich and reckless decisions added another $7.8 trillion to our deficit.

Meanwhile, Biden is pushing for manufacturing job resurgence, while Republicans, Kevin included, attempt to obstruct:

- Formulating plans to rejuvenate manufacturing and fortify supply chains.
- Advocating for sustainable economic resilience initiatives.
- Propelling a domestic manufacturing drive through the Export-Import Bank.
- Investing in microchip production and setting aside $200 billion for manufacturing jobs.
- Creating over 750,000 new manufacturing jobs since taking office.

We must vote them out comes 2024. It's the only way to save our young Democratic Republic.

@NYCSchools Your survey does not allow for comments.

[Melissa Besada @besada02]

@NYCSchools I am very disappointed that my public school did not offer live streaming of class where both in person and remote children could learn in the same class. Because of this my daughter is in an online class of 43 children, while the in hybrid classes turned 100% in person is 9 kid

It’s not enough to praise our essential workers — we have to protect and pay them.

If you don’t see anything wrong with this - You are part of the problem. Racism is evil. And those with positions of power who perpetrate it or defend those who perpetrate it are evil too! #WeCanDoBetter #SilenceEqualDeath
