Yesterday was a reminder of the casual nature of American racism. Villified and career cut short for peacefully protesting... vs Those same villifiers & their MAGA ilk want a pardon for clowns that stormed the Capital.

As it gets colder outside, my barely insulated garage gets cold enough to drop the water down to the 6-8ยฐC range this past week. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฅถโ„๏ธ Cold plunge + sauna...ever tried it??

Happy ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Thanksgiving ๐Ÿฆƒ !! Posting in gratitude today, for the lessons I've retained all my life from my time in service of our country. My time was in the 80's, think Cold War. The lessons were always plan ahead, be consistent and kind. We needed all 3 with 5,000 sailors crammed onto CV-64.๐Ÿ˜ (1)

The USS Constellation has been retired, but "Connie" was my 1st love at 19 when I first boarded. Honor and service was our motto. So grateful for those 8 years, all at one duty station. In today's world, I wish for us to find a path to the middle. Reality - none of us will get 100% always. (2)

We have to find that compromise or our nation will be forever at risk. That said, I can't see a compromise with the current opposition. So the sooner we rid ourselves of their colossal wrong headedness, the better we all will be. Enjoy your day all! ๐Ÿฆƒ๐Ÿฆƒ๐Ÿฆƒ (3/end)

Surprised? Shouldn't be. He will continue to accept huge donations that will go unreported during the transition period. The griftmaster. Gotta tip the hat to him, he is as brazen as he is unscrupulous.

Trump just can't tell the truth. He says ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ is flooding ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ w/ illegal immigrants & fentanyl... Slapping ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ and ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ with the same 25% tariff...that's gonna hurt US consumers more than anyone else. The real numbers โคต๏ธ thelogic.co/news/trump-c...

One of the more interesting audiobooks of this year. Took me back to NYC in 70's-80's when ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿ’ฉ was running up incredible debt, getting bailed out by Fred Trump, hanging w infamous lawyer Roy Cohen & blocking Black potential renters with a "C" on their applications. A most talented con man/grifter.

When a long time friend goes over to the cult. Smart, accomplished business owner w/ a beautiful family, early 40's. She is that silent Trump supporter. The underbelly of ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ. The cancer... We've gone our separate ways, for clearly obvious reasons. She's deep in that MAGA disinformation silo.

Hey where are the Canadians ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ?? Let's not forget about "MAGA lite" & Pierre Pollievre building up steam here in ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ... โš ๏ธI hope y'all can see they're copying much of what US๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ MAGA does?โš ๏ธ Yes, Trudeau is well past his "best before" date. Unlike ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ, y'all have 3 parties+. I wish I could vote here!

Check this out.โคต๏ธ The OMB Director being considered by Trump is Russell Vought, key contributor to The Heritage Foundations Project 2025. โš ๏ธVought is a christian nationalist. He would lead the powerful office tasked with reviewing federal regulations and developing the presidentโ€™s budget.

BREAKING NEWS Part 2: Expanding on this from earlier post. So if Senate GOP block his nominees, Trump & the House GOP will hook up to invoke a never-before-used provision of the Constitution & force Congress to adjourn โ€œuntil such time as he shall think proper." Speaker Johnson, his useful idiot.

TRULY BREAKING NEWS!: President- elect Donald Trump could possibly override the Senate to get his recess appointments. There are reports he could access a never-before-used procedure that allows an "end run" around Senate approvals. Like ๐Ÿ’™ or repost โ™ป๏ธ if you want to hear more details! #blacksky

This is a really good thread. Thought provoking, and some solid questions are asked. Well done @arnettpowell.bsky.social

We must draw a distinction: disdain for a Trump admin, and whether the government is efficient. According to GAO, estimated total financial losses to the government from fraud are between $233 billion and $521 billion annually. This is a problem #econsky www.gao.gov/products/gao....

I can confirm, Canadians gets way more maternity leave & healthcare is a right in this country. I have personal experience on both sides of the border in these two areas. But...we do have neocons, christian nationalists and other assorted extremists trying to emulate the US in too many ways.

Want to follow reporters covering & columnists analyzing the U.S. economy? The "economy" is broad here including macro, markets, business, labor, government, and policy (monetary, fiscal, education, health, ag...). Starter pack of folks creating and posting a lot of value. go.bsky.app/75VdoaQ

I was really thinking only about workers in the Ag sector. This got me expanding on that...hospitality, service industries... probably lots more. Chime in if you can think of other sectors that mass deportations will affect. #massdeportation

More than 1/3 of construction workers are foreign-born. Going from 10% to 5% of a workforce is one thing, says @riordanfrost.bsky.social. "But going from 50%, which it is in California and Texas, to a much lower share, could have really big shocks to the housing market." us.cnn.com/2024/11/19/e...
