No shock. This app has turned my mentions, and others, into mostly hate. But there are a few people worth connecting with CRAZY how it's easier these days to have a real discussion on X, or threads, than on here.

I am not surprised that the corporate Dems did this! There is a palpable anger and humongous anti establishment sentiment which shows no signs of abatement. With the affordability crisis getting only worse, more and more progressives are going to get elected. The days of the Dem. Party are numbered!

The NIH announced it will slash billions of dollars of support to universities and research centers. This is one of the biggest attacks on science we have ever seen. It could dismantle the biomedical research system, shut down clinical trials, and halt development of treatments.

To be accurate it's Socialism per se. What is wrong in having basic necessities guaranteed? We the working class create value by makiya d consuming goods. What value does the capitalist add?

From 1989 to 2019, the richest 1% of families increased their share of total national wealth from 27% to 34%. At the same time, families in the bottom 50% saw their share drop from 4% to 2%. When we say trickle-down economics is a hoax, this is what we mean.

"Upper income" student group regained it's high representation since 1980s. The seeds for every single issue facing us today was planted in the 1980s. Thanks Reagan, Friedman and all the trickle down gurus!

In my interactions with co-workers and neighbors a common theme I get is the opposition to any kind of welfare programs which they pin it on Democrats. To them it's the root cause of every bad thing!

trump is the benevolent czar and if bad things happened under his watch he clearly can’t be responsible for them. it was his evil advisors!

Biden administration was the first since deregulation (Reaganomics) to at least try to enforce anti trust laws in various sectors like big tech, agriculture, live stock etc. Also the first administration in almost 3 decades with an increase in manufacturing jobs.
