Nice try, but if you run up huge deficits by exempting big corporations and billionaires from taxes, markets will react. People collectively worth trillions, and corporations worth tens of trillions, and corrupt Trump, pay virtually no taxes.

There’s beauty everywhere, even in dry, baked, dusty desert environs, striking pose. Japanese phrase, wabi-sabi; natural beauty seen in everything including imperfections. Beauty in eye of beholder. With bad happenings, get perspective in nature. Stay calm, carry on. #photography #desert #wabisabi

April visited WW2 American cemetery in Luxembourg 5,000+ buried from Battle of Bulge (10,000+ Americans died), last major WW2 battle, to defeat Nazis.

America’s past fight against Nazis and sacrifice. Visited WW2 American cemetery in Luxembourg, 5,000+ buried from Battle of Bulge (10,000+ Americans died), last major WW2 battle, to defeat Nazis. Excuse sniffling in video, couldn’t prepare myself, still shaking… and we have Nazi sympathizer in WH.

What this long and detailed NYT piece calmly calls an “extraordinary flexing of power by a private individual” is in fact a blatantly unconstitutional usurpation of Congress’s Article I powers and delegation of the President’s Article II duties. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

And convicted sexual abusers don't get to lead our nation. We're decent folk Ps. Button up. We're sending frigid cold your way. love Canada

I kind of think the thing is that history is always happening all around you, whoever or wherever you are. it's just that: are you the kind of person who goes *looking* for tanks while drunk on a weeknight when martial law is declared, or do you stay indoors

Thanksgiving was proclaimed by Republican President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War, which was fought to prevent racist Southern oligarchs from seizing power. Imagine his horror at seeing his party be used as a vessel for racist South African oligarchs to seize power.

Total BS; normalizes MAGA. Either deliberate or incompetent can’t read room. “Chamber” is everything democracy; America per Constitution. MAGA not. Safe sane civil SM space for political discourse w/in confines of Constitution is a problem?! Many swore oath died for it. tinpot djt/MAGA antiAmerican.

Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?
