People are going to have to understand that it will take at least a decade, if not two, to free ourselves from MAGA.

It might be better to completely form a new party than to rely on spineless Democrats.

Just fucking shut it down.

Honestly not sure it’s even worth saving.

Even if we recover from Trump, we will fucking do it again.

Take that to the bank.

If there are any banks left.

The near daily barrage of deadly mass shootings in America feels like low level warfare against normal citizens who just want to live in peace. And because people keep electing Republicans who won’t do anything about it there’s no solution in sight.

I see they offer a “BBA” in accounting from the PV campus.

That’s fantastic. Undergrad accounting degrees should not be limited to 4 year campuses.

This needs to get spread much wider than it is.
NEW from me. Trump wants to take over the Federal Reserve and lower interest rates in part because he believes it will cut federal budget interest costs by "$1 Trillion per year."

In @thedispatchmedia.bsky.social, I show that fiscal dominance would NOT reduce interest costs very much. 🧵
Trump Can’t Fix the Deficit by Attacking the Federal Reserve
The president claims lower interest rates would save us $1 trillion annually. He’s wrong.

Is it just too obvious to say that this country has gone completely bug fuck insane.

So I’m mad as hell, but I already vote.

How can I get 5 or 6 hundred people who don’t already vote just made enough to vote.
