Neoliberals Struggle Defending 'Abundance' Gambit

We need action: Educate. Organize. Mobilize. Build and join organizations that wield real people power—the kind that can’t be ignored.

Neither Democrats nor Republicans will save us. Not with words or the power they hold. It has been tried and proven. We must save us!

Check the numbers for #Russia & #Belarus & #NorthKorea... oh that's right, they don't have any tariffs. Curious.

FWIW the DJIA has lost just under $1.9 trillion in market capitalization since #Trump took office. I suspect his tariffs will shave another few dollars off of the top. Pretty soon we'll be talking 'real money'.

Market Cap LossCurrent Market Cap=$62.2trillion×0.03=$1.866trillion=$62.2trillion−$1.866trillion=$60.334trillion

#Trump lied, of course.

REPUBLICAN
A PARTY TOTALLY WITHOUT PRINCIPLES EXCEPT STAYING IN POWER
Mastodon Post

White House and Capitol Hill Republicans fear their president fantastically more than they love their country. They don't love the United States of America ... they love their jobs.

Don't judge Republicans by what they say. They lie the way the rest of us grow hair. Judge Republicans by what they do in this time of national peril. Caving to Trump is their way of life. You watch.

RUINATION DAY
Mastodon Post

Paywalls being what they are, the attached screenshot is the best I can do to give an idea of this intelligent, highly informed piece in The Economist. It is perfectly clear to me, at least, that Trump is mentally ill; and he is totally prepared to wreck the United States of America with his mindless followings of paranoid conspiracy theory delusions. We are about to pay dearly, possibly severely, for electing a mentally ill president. Donald Trump, quite simply, is not fit to serve as president of the United States; and his cabinet, the House, and the Senate are likely to do nothing at all about it for no reason other than narrow, rigid partisanship.

To Liberals saying Cory Booker did something this week, I ask what did he do? what did he accomplish? Did he stop a bill? Did he bring the deported back?

You all give too much credit where barely any is due. He literally helped confirm the Presidents current Secretary of State.

This was performative, and unproductive, IE "good trouble". I want our politicians to make real trouble as the opposition!

The same people who have been whining that The Democrats Aren't Doing Anything are now whining when ... #Democrats do something.

"Corey [sic] #Booker's filibuster was performative nonsense."

"we knew it was BS when #Schumer was gushing about it lol"

Well, those were two easy blocks.

#wisconsin #trump #democrats Yea it was a big win , a democrat won , Musk lost more than 20 million dollars and that law already existed

Canadian Football & the Democratic Party

Both face a natural uncertainty.
