There was no such thing as white people in the 1600s.
Europeans didn’t call themselves white.
They called themselves English, Irish, German, Italian.
And they hated each other.
The English despised the Irish.
Northern Italians didn’t even recognize southern Italians as equals.
Germans fought everybody.
There was no “white team.” No shared identity.
Just Europeans killing Europeans over land, religion, and power.
That’s the actual history of Europe. Then suddenly, mid-1600s in the American colonies, something changed. “White” was invented. Why? Because the colonial elite the rich landowners could count.
They looked around and realized they were outnumbered. Badly. African slaves, European indentured servants, poor peasants who had no land and no future. Together, they were a threat.
So the rich did what they’ve always done: they divided them. They created “whiteness” as a concept and gave poor Europeans just enough legal protections, small privileges, the promise that they’d never be at the bottom to make sure they’d never unite with enslaved Africans.
It worked. Poor whites started policing Black people instead of fighting the system exploiting them both. And that’s the con. The whole history of America is rich white men convincing poor white people that their enemies are Black and Brown not the system keeping them all broke.
“To deliver affordability means stepping on toes and breaking taboos. Not least, the economists’ cartel with its aversion to rent and price controls. Not least, the health insurance industry and the pharmaceutical companies. Not least, the private-equity energy mafia. Not least, the budget and resource drain that is our distended, obsolete military. And not least, the shibboleth that interest rates are the sole domain of the Federal Reserve, to be raised—crushing housing while enriching the banks—on the empty pretext of “fighting inflation.””
James Galbraith
From the horse's mouth 🤷
That's kinda your job to check before reporting she's a "spy"... If you don't, all you're doing is making YOURSELF an agent of the US intelligence community, ironically what you accuse her of with regards to China.
If congressional Dems had heeded this advice after Richard Nixon got elected, there would be no EPA, no Clean Water Act, none of the original campaign finance laws, no War Powers Resolution, and no expansion of Medicare - all of which Dems enacted while Nixon was president.
People have been asking the question... Your relatives see her on CNN, influential in DC backrooms ...
Maybe together we can figure out...
WHO IS NEERA TANDEN?
STEAL THIS GRAPHIC! Save it to your phone, post it on other platforms, send to your relatives, say you made it!
Hey @grok Answer with YES or NO first,
Did Donald Trump wear someone else’s jacket at his boarding school to make it appear as though he had won the medal?
This is f*cking insane. Nobel Prize winner Geoffrey Hinton opened this lecture with one line:
"If you sleep well tonight, you may not have understood this lecture"
In this 47-minute lecture, the Godfather of AI explains how these models really work and why it got him worried
Neural Nets → LLMs → Agents → AI That Fights Being Shut Down
The part nobody wanted to hear:
> "They are going to get smarter than us"
> AI agents will try to get control and avoid being turned off
> One chatbot copied itself to another server, then decided to "be vague and redirect their attention"
"This is already happening, that's the point"
Most people still open a chatbot, type something and close the tab
Worth more than any $3,000 AI course

Then read how to put agents to work for you in the harness engineering guide below ↓
66% want Medicare for All
61% want a billionaire wealth tax
57% want a $20/hour minimum wage
63% want a data center moratorium
58% want to end military aid to Israel
73% want to ban super PACs
79% want a 10% credit card interest rate cap
No more excuses. Democrats must deliver.
