@krassensteinm.bsky.social, welcome. I’m glad to see you here. Twitter has become so toxic I had to leave it too. My accounts still open, because of the many people I “met” there that I don’t want to lose any chance of finding again. I hope they all join Bluesky someday. (I’m on Tribel, too.)

Extending the Trump tax cuts for the next 10 years would add roughly $4 trillion to the deficit.

Remember this the next time Republicans try paying for them with cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. 

The "party of fiscal responsibility" is full of it.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

So the United States just voted against Ukraine and all of our allies at the United Nations. They voted with Russia, North Korea, Belarus, and Sudan to withdraw Ukraine from the sovereign union. Trump refused to say Russia invaded Ukraine. This is what I mean when I say we are on our own!!

So 1+1 really does equal 2.

The Texas measles outbreak is hitting the area with the highest vaccine exemption rates. Shocking—if you ignore science.

France probably has the real and full unredacted version of the Epstein files, one of Epstein's biggest human trafficking partners was French trafficker Jean-Luc Brunel.
This thread will look into the French connection to Epstein through child trafficker Jean-Luc #Brunel owner of MC2 Model Management. Brunel was Jeffery #Epstein's buddy and supplier who once gave him three 12-year-olds as a birthday present. #OpDeathEaters #EndImpunity 🧵

The US GOP set to a take away food and medicaid starting with at least 9 million low-income people. The number is set to rise as more fall into poverty due to other malicious Trump policies.

These policies will increase death and suicide in the population. #3E #EndOligarchy #EndAutogenocide

Trump and his lackeys want to divide us.

They want white people to blame Black and Latino people for every tragedy. And they want Black and Latino people to react not only with hurt but with justifiable anger.

We must not let them win.

Anyone clamouring for the deportation of all “illegal aliens”—(anyone who isn’t a Native American is actually an illegal alien)—please watch a movie called “A Day Without a Mexican.”
Happy Thanksgiving!

Today is a good day to thank undocumented immigrants.
🦃 3/4 of them are essential workers vital to keeping our country running.

They make up:
📌 23% of construction workers
📌 40%–55% of agriculture workers
📌 25% of food preparation & serving workers
📌 8% of healthcare workers
