I have been rearranging my bookshelves and realized that I actually have a decent little collection of books regarding the black experience in America. For anyone interested in gaining perspective on racism, among other things, I highly recommend these books.

He increased taxes to pretty much everyone in the U.S. except the very rich in his first term, and his tariffs resulted in a BIG federal bailout to US farmers that were harmed by his tariffs.

Just a reminder to the people still here:

Kamala had a plan to lower food costs, cut student debt, 25k help with buying a first home, 6K for a new baby, 3K a year to help with children, a plan to make housing more available by blocking private equity from buying homes, and

Ya know what you’re right. Ya never know what ya got until it’s gone.

And it took people losing Roe to realize how important it is not just for abortion access but IVF and emergency treatment for pregnancy issue and now states are codifying it.

Maybe when hurricanes hit and the government isn’t coming to help them with money and aid and leaving them to fend for themselves they’ll learn to appreciate how important FEMA is

Maybe when they don’t know if a hurricane or a tornado or a flood is coming for them and they lose someone they love or all their property cuz they weren’t warned they’ll understand and appreciate how important NOAA is

When their children can’t read or write or achieve anything then they’ll understand and appreciate how important the department of education is.

When the criminals get away with crimes and they’re the victims and no one care then they’ll understand and appreciate how important the Justice system is

When they’re on the balls of their ass cuz big corporations took advantage of them with price gouging and made up “inflations” maybe then they’ll understand and appreciate how important consumer advocacy is

When they lose their healthcare and can’t afford to get treatment maybe then they’ll understand and appreciate how important the ACA is.

When all the manufacturing jobs dry up they’ll understand and appreciate how important CHIPS and Science act is

When they get sick from tainted meat and sold snake oil cures that don’t work maybe then they’ll appreciate how important the FDA is

When they’re paying $4,000 a year in tariffs and through the nose prices for goods imported into this country maybe then they’ll understand and appreciate paying taxes.

When they lose their social security and Medicare/medicaid maybe then they’ll appreciate socialist programs

When they lose their freedom of speech and expression maybe then they’ll understand and appreciate the Constitution

When they don’t get a say in who represents them and no one cares what they think and want and they feel abandoned and ignored and the government controls their lives maybe then they’ll understand and appreciate what it means to have a Democracy.

These people want fascism and anarchy, let’s give it to them and sit back and wait to see how quickly they live to regret it.

Human-caused climate change boosted Hurricane Helene's rainfall by about 10% and intensified its winds by about 11%, scientists said in a new flash study released just as Hurricane Milton threatens the Florida coast less than two weeks later. https://t.co/EzEW1AqCGG

So I think it’s fair to say there’s some interest from the general public in this UAP/ UFO House Oversight hearing this morning.

I can’t remember ever seeing a line this long to get a seat into a congressional hearing

I approve this message.

Dianne Feinstein is reportedly surrounded at all times by aides who explain what's happening when she grows confused.

The aides remind her how and when to vote.

@unusual_whales Will not happen.

OR it will happen but only extremely short term to set up better prices on risk assets and capitulate retailers and other small fish.

Do not raise debt ceiling, create crisis, assets dip, buy the dip, provide solution, raise the fugazzi "ceiling" for 80th time

BREAKING: Senator Tuberville just disclosed over half a million dollars of trading.

He sits on the Senate Committee for Agriculture, Nutrition & Forestry.

And he disclosed 3 separate CME Corn futures trading for over 45k.

He literally influences corn futures via legislation.
