This timeline is diabolically crazy to me.
Trump hurt American farmers during his first administration. Biden came into office in 2021 and spent years trying to repair the damage to American agriculture and strengthen the farm economy. Kamala Harris was proposing to build on that work.
And then a large portion of rural America voted to put Trump back in office.
Now my TikTok feed is filled with farmers talking about how badly they are struggling. Farms are at risk. Costs are crushing them. Markets are unstable. People are scared they are going to lose land that has been in their families for generations.
And when they tell their stories, they are shocked by the lack of sympathy in the comments.
But here is the problem: you voted for leadership that was willing to put you last.
They did not care about your farm. They did not care about your economic security. They did not care about the people who depend on you to help keep America’s food supply running.
And frankly, Americans are exhausted too. Grocery bills are ridiculous. Everything costs too damn much. Every other day there is another recall or warning about something in our food supply. Hell, we can barely eat fucking ice right now.
So as we head into the midterms, I am asking farmers and rural voters to do something different:
Vote your economics.
Stop allowing politicians to convince you that sharing your religion, your cultural grievances, or your anger at somebody else means they share your economic interests.
A politician can quote your Bible and still bankrupt your farm.
A politician can validate your prejudices and still destroy your livelihood.
You are living with the consequences right now.
Midterms are coming.
Right the ship.

Black Voters treat politics like a Job Interview not a popularity contest.
We typically admire:
-Long Governing Resumes
-Pragmatic Decionmaking
-History of community appeals
-Racially conscious policy
It is not about moderation.
It is about being there b4 you needed our vote.
Happy 4 of July: Let’s make people angry! A powerful Black woman, the first Black woman elected as San Francisco District Attorney, the first woman, and the first Black person to serve as California Attorney General. She was also the second Black woman ever elected to the U.S. Senate and the first woman to serve as acting President of the United States when presidential powers were temporarily transferred to her during President Joe Biden’s medical procedure on November 19, 2021. Additionally, she was the first Black woman nominated for president by a major U.S. political party when she became the Democratic nominee in 2024! Her name is Kamala Harris!!!

Can you imagine the pride her grandmother feels seeing this? She’s 93 so she saw and/or experienced Jim Crow, redlining, KKK attacks,the civil rights movement, massive injustice and inequality, and more. But she made it. And so did her granddaughter!

REMINDER: The full effects of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill don’t hit until after the 2026 midterms.
That’s by design. Republicans want the votes first and the consequences caused by your pain, AFTER the election.
