"Lower capacity voters". My new term for trumpers that NEED to be told what to do, because they have a lack of capacity for critical thinking or any depth beyond what is presented to them. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Add a little sexism misogyny racism xenophobia and here we are.

I'm old enough to remember when the president was the president of the entire United States not just his own party. Never in our country has party affiliation determined assistance. UNITED is missing now. 'I shouldn’t say that': Trump makes startling admission... www.rawstory.com/trump-georgi...

If you paid any federal income tax last year, then you paid more than these profitable corporations. When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.

It's worse than that: Republicans, in the majority, budgeted Trump with so much money for ICE, and even more for the military. He shot off 850 of the few thousand Tomahawk missiles ever made, to be replaced over years: so you can't have your money back and owe lots more. www.cnn.com/2026/10/16/e...

I want my money back. Bombing children in Iran. Breaking limbs of American citizens. Murder of our own citizens. The pay for play. Countless Hatch act violations. The lying, grifting, FRAUD. I voted for none of this and I have to pay for it? I want my money back.

Basically f you all unless I get what I want.

Trump on Camp Lejeune water contamination claims: "If we win the House and Senate, I am directing the Department of Justice to settle all remaining legitimate claims as soon as possible ... if we don't win, there's no money."

Everyone should realize that anything to do with Mr musk is a fool's errand. Other countries must disconnect from Elon musk and all of his businesses as soon as possible. One man is a national security threat to any of your Nations.

And remember to vote no on 42. Proposition 42 was put up by billionaires to try to spoil proposition 40. If 40 passes, but 42 gets more votes, then 40 will never take effect. Vote Yes on 40 and no on 42.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

Ramaswamy is a sick, morally bankrupt piece of shit exploiting a woman’s rape at age 12 to win an election. He gave her estranged, abusive mother a platform to weaponize her childhood trauma. There is something profoundly fucking wrong with this man. He has no business holding public office. 🤬

California wake up!!! The prop 42 ads are all over your local news casts. Prop 42 is nothing but a spoiler. If prop 42 gets more votes than prop 40 which is the billionaire tax, then even if 40 passes it will not be put into effect because prop 42 will have spoiled it. They are lying.

California’s billionaires have a combined net worth of $2.4 trillion. Under Prop 40, their net worth would fall to…just under $2.3 trillion. What amounts to a rounding error for them would allow millions of their fellow Californians to afford healthcare. Vote yes on Prop 40.

The United States is actively helping Putin murder civilians in Ukraine. Trump is doing everything he can to force Ukraine to surrender to his friend and ally Putin so they can be subjugated by the Russians again.

Working families in Maine are heading into winter and staring at the highest heating oil bills they've ever seen. Paul LePage openly said that when it gets too cold, he goes to Florida. I'll never abandon Mainers, and I'll fight to end the war in Iran and bring down your heating prices.

It IS treason.

“Donald Trump is a traitor. And he’s not simply a traitor in the loose sense of someone who commits an act of betrayal…Trump is a traitor in the very particular sense laid out in the U.S. Constitution…’adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.’” www.americaamerica.news/p/donald-tru...

Trump wants to make sure it’s as easy as possible for his friend Putin to bomb apartment buildings and kill children. He’s not just the worst president in history, he’s the most evil person to ever serve at the highest level of government. Vote out his weak Republican enablers.

Netflix is laying off 1,000 workers — its largest layoff ever. In 2025, Netflix had a net income of $11 billion (up 26%). Its CEO was paid $53M (255x more than the median employee). And it just raised prices for the second time in just over a year. Corporate greed in a nutshell.

The whole idea of prop 42 in California is to be a spoiler for prop 40. Billionaires do not need to be putting propositions like this up as a spoiler.

Dementia update: Tonight sucked. My mom didn't know me when I thought she did. That was new. Usually I can tell. For some reason it upset me horribly that she did not know me when I thought she did. Of course then she got upset and said that we're all crazy cuz she's never forgotten me. 🙄😭

Trump being a Russian asset or being blackmailed is the only reason I can see for the United States of America to stop defending the victim of an aggressor. RUSSIA IS THE BAD GUY. UKRAINE IS THE VICTIM. Stop treating Ukraine like you treat American women that have been sexually assaulted.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. And we certainly wouldn't have public executions. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It's about cruelty.

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

My mom did not know me last night. We were talking, the three of us, my mom and dad and me and she said something about her daughter and my dad said yes she's sitting right beside you. She looked at me and said no the other one. I said you only have one I'm Beth and she said no. 😬

This is Putin’s long game, and he found an insecure, greedy, selfish narcissist to implement it. Simple as that. America is: culturally divided, globally weakened, friendless, poor, broke, and sick, with a diminishing labor pool. So much winning.

Amazes me how incredibly short-sighted these people are. You took away immigrants. You took away all of the money they paid into the system without taking benefits back. You took away the laborers. You took away the medical caregivers. You took away the decency of helping the less fortunate.
