Truth. I lived through it and the repercussions continue today as the Republicans continue to worship at his altar of lies. The only thing that has trickled down in his economics was the body waste from the rich.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

This is just another example of the ruling class (the insanely rich) wanting to make poor people desperate and scapegoat them to distract from their BS.

Socialism is good. It’s about ensuring everyone in society, the community, has a chance to can be fed, educated, paidcworknsufficientbto live, health care when required. For that we pay taxes. Those with more, pay more! This is what Hollywood told us was the ‘American Dream’ Clearly they Lied!

The GOP gave us: Watergate, Iran Contra, 4 stock market crashes, McCarthyism, the Iraq & Afghanistan Wars, the covid epidemic, the Jan 6th failed coup, Trump, a corrupt SCOTUS, freezing FEMA's $, ICE, tearing down part of the White House, raising your medical bills, Musk, RFK Jr. & war with Iran.

It's disgusting that this unpopular clown is using Dolly Parton's death to ride on her legacy of generosity and popularity. He has to use AI because Dolly Parton was never photographed with Donald Trump in real life. Because he is everything she disliked: selfish, dishonest, mean, and rude.

This is true... He also orchestrated the delayed release of the hostages in Iran so it would hurt Carter's chances in the election that year. Republicans discovered "Greed is good" and gone were the days of Republicans recognizing corruption in their ranks.

Time to start a new habit!

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

When the banks needed help, they called it “stabilizing the economy.” When airlines needed help, they called it “protecting jobs.” When corporations got tax breaks, they called it “pro-growth.” When working people need health care? “SOCIALISM.”

A long thread, but excellent points!

“I knew I couldn’t be too Black.” Former NFL player and ESPN analyst Ryan Clark named something many Black professionals know deeply: the pressure to edit ourselves in hopes of becoming secure. But conditional belonging is never truly safe.
