With all due respect, this is a country founded on genocide and slavery.

A country where witches were burnt, and lynchings by the thousands.

Trail of Tears. Tulsa Massacre. Chinese Exclusion Act. The internment of Japanese. Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Tuskegee Study.

I could go on, but why?

They know tariffs led to the Great Depression.

That's EXACTLY what they want to happen again.

Oligarchs bought up
America at pennies on the dollar during the Depression.

The lesson the rich took away from the Depression is they get bargains, not that the poor and vulnerable suffered.

Great news! 👍

I'm somewhere over 6,000 days, as I stopped watching ALL televised news in 2007.

Realized it's not really news, but a blend of entertainment and propaganda.

Each day, I read 8-10 blogs, go through my Flipboard and BlueSky feeds, and then dig deeper on subjects I find interesting.
