Women don't hear these things.

And they need to.

What a generation of women (finally) need to know:

You don't need to have a prepared speech or an excuse not to do something.

It's ok to say no.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Wow.

Here’s Robert De Niro’s full statement about how Donald Trump should NEVER be president again:

“I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men.  I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty.

Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly.

I see an evil one.

Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong. 

Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped.

Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them.

We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego.  We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership.  We tried to warn the world in 2016.

The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination.  Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world.

We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags.

The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior.  That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse.

Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously.

So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America:
This is our last chance.

Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator.

And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided.

So what do we do about it?  I know I’m preaching to the choir here.  What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls.   We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. 

They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice.  Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them.

Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect.  Let’s not talk about “democracy.”  “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. 

Let’s talk about right and wrong.  Let’s talk about humanity. 

Let’s talk about kindness.  Security for our world. 

Safety for our families. 

Decency. 

Let’s welcome them back. 

We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.”

@AOC be very conscious of our words here … these are NOT pro-life supporters!! These are anti-choice supporters!! Their record on denying assistance programs for families and children as well as their pro gun stance is part of the proof that their agenda is NOT pro-life!

A standing ovation for Marie Curie. The first woman to win a Nobel Prize and remains the only person to win Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields.

Marie Curie died on July 4, 1934, at the age of 66, due to aplastic anaemia, a blood disorder caused by prolonged exposure to radiation.

Her pioneering research in the field of radioactivity and her tireless efforts in advancing science have left an indelible mark on the world.

She was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 (shared with her husband Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerel) for their work on radioactivity and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911 for her discovery of the elements polonium and radium.

Born in Warsaw, Poland, in 1867, she moved to Paris to continue her education, where she earned her higher degrees and conducted her most famous scientific work.

May your day be as relaxed as this horse in a hammock

[Tiny Buddha @tinybuddha]

Today I learned about a term called a 'glimmer.’ The opposite of a trigger. Glimmers are those moments in your day that make you feel joy, happiness, peace, or gratitude. Once you train your brain to be on the lookout for glimmers, these tiny moments will appear more and more.

Why I am tired...follow my thread

I was driving home from work listening to Chris Hayes telling America how Biden's economy is killing it by every metric...he also played a clip where even people on Fox were celebrating the economy, maybe not Biden, but the economy.

I decided to look at these metrics because I know Biden is kicking ass, but it appears not enough of us understand the true depths of the amazing job this man is doing...and doing it at 81 years of age.

Bidenomics was Joe's way of saying he was going to grow the economy from the middle out. The man has record low unemployment, increased real wages, the GDP is exploding, inflation continues to drop, and the stock market is setting huge records.

By any metric this is one of the strongest performances of any president in over 100 years and yet only 36 percent of this country thinks he's handling the economy well.

Biden has stated emphatically that you build the economy from the middle out and not top down because the only trickle down from the top is the rich peeing on your shoes. Biden has stated the only way to grow the economy is 'to include more people in it."

This means that the many hands replace the so called invisible hand because the invisible hand truly is invisible...it is a mirage that leads to huge deficits. Reagan was wrong and Biden is correct.

We see unions thriving again on truly liveable wages...life changing wages...we see teenagers making between 15-20 bucks an hour while still in high school and I know this because my own students make this kind of money and it is why I don't see them in class enough.

Bidenomics believes in three "key pillars"- public investments, empowering workers, and promoting competition...Republicans don't compete, they create monopolies and remove legislation that discourages monopolies.

Reganomics gave the appearance of working when in fact it was built on tax cuts, deregulation, wage cuts. It believed that public investment hurt private investment...what that really means is that public investment cuts into their profits and their high prices and benefits the public better and cheaper.

"The CHIPS and Science Acts alone has raised 231 billion dollars from private investors", so the private sector is not being crowded out.

Reagan began the killing of the middle class the day he fired the Air traffic controllers. The private sector followed his lead and soon enough union membership plummeted to record low numbers. Once again the workers got screwed. Under Republicans, workers always get screwed and history shows this.

What Biden is doing is working. "Employers do not pay you what you are worth, they pay you what you have the power to negotiate." The federal minimum wage of 7.25 has been in place for a very long time and it if had grown according the rate of inflation it would be over $12 an hour by now. Thank Republicans.

Biden has promised to enforce anti-trust laws to ensure competition becomes a staple in the economy for years to come.

Republicans will tell you Bidenomics is a disaster simply because it cuts into corporate profits. The fact is corporations do not need more profits and CEO's need a salary ceiling. Corporations have been robbing this country blind...all of us...left and right

What Biden is showing America is that the Republican/Corporate model does not work and he is winning the argument and it's not even close.

Before I became a teacher I was in business and then a business owner. I have hired a lot of people. People with graduate degrees, people with no HS education, and people who have been in prison (I hate the term ex-con as it's dehumanizing). I hired people of all walks of life because what I valued was growing as a business and if someone could help me grow, that was the quality that mattered to me. Could they help or not? that was it. The more hands I had the more I could grow and that is exactly what Biden is betting on and his argument is succeeding.

I will say this...I have had my share of older folks working for me...if someone came to me with Biden's resume and that resume was recent, I would hire that guy any day of the week and I would not care if he was 91 years old. Biden as done more at 81 years of age than Trump has done his whole life. He has done more than any president in Modern history and that really cannot be debated. The numbers tell the story.

Some say but what about interests rates? I say what about them? Higher interest rates have helped bring inflation down and kept the economy from getting too out of hand. Right now it is a nice sustainable growth and talks of recession are gone.

The Fed has indicated that we are looking at 3 interest rates in 2024 and I suspect they might even be a tad higher than they indicate which I believe was a total of .75 ...one must be careful with dropping them too fast or things fall apart.

The time has come for the 1% to return the 50 trillion dollars they have flat out stole from us...they know that Biden is coming for them and thats why they are spending billions in propaganda convincing this country that we are on the wrong path...it is why Republicans are trying to impeach him...they know Biden has found the right recipe and it will cost them dearly and they want him gone...who do you think is paying for the whole Biden is old campaign, the Biden is a crook campaign, the economy is a mirage conversation, and every other false flag out there...Billionaires fear Joe Biden and they should. Americans should embrace him because he is the way forward...soon enough Republicans might even say that Biden guy is doing ok as Biden keeps building more businesses in their state....ask Colorado who benefits from what Lauren Boebert voted against.

If you are looking for a reason to vote against Biden, perhaps is time to start looking for reasons to vote for him or you might miss out on the greatest growth this country might ever see.

Peace
