Two of my Trumper friends - from childhood - routinely complained to me about how America has screwed them over: One calling from his boat, the other from his in-ground pool.
You can imagine what I said to them, and at what volume

Many Trump supporters are people who don’t believe they are rich simply because they have to go to work every day
This might seem funny until you realize how many professionals - including engineers, doctors, etc - supported Trump.

Propaganda, transphobia, and an end to manufacturing hate.
If you only watch one TikTok this year, make it Andrea Pitzer discussing how soaking in hate can change a society, which is why authoritarians always do it.

Context you rarely hear: global stocks are up about 30% over the past year. U.S. stocks? Around 18%. That means American investors underperformed the world by about 12 percentage points, even while headlines called it a “fantastic year.”

Release the Jack Smith transcript.
Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel.
"Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

Watching this back almost makes me emotional. People are good. People care about their neighbors. People also care about people they’ll never meet. Here’s how $5 donations added up to $3M in proof of that this year, week after week.

This is what it’s all about. When so many give a little, it becomes a lot very quickly. Your $5 became a mountain of generosity.
I always felt bad because I would give $5 here, $10 there. Now seeing the accumulated amount because people care is good to hear. Makes it easier

Little Stephen Miller probably doesn't know that Sinatra was an early advocate for civil rights. Refused to perform in segregated venues. Was instrumental in the integration of Las Vegas hotels. And was a donor to MLK and the Southern Poverty Law Center headlining fundraisers.
