Black Friday is a scam by the 1% to get the rest of us schlubs to fund their holidays.
Black Friday deals this time last year shows that a WHOPPING 80% were the same price or cheaper outside of the Black Friday period.
Don’t fall for it. Vote w/your wallet by NOT buying this weekend.

This woman folded like a lawn chair on the Fourth of July.
Health care premiums are increasing because she played in to a back room deal w Schumer.
Yes, I’m glad AZ Rep Adelita Grijalva is sworn in AND that some Epstein files are released. Could’ve happened along w ACA funding.
Disappointed.

“You live life forward.” When @margaretbrennan.bsky.social asked Bill if he regretted his vote for Kennedy.
If this is how you live with yourself, dude, but we’re listening. This mother from another state is donating to your replacement.
Live life forward on that, sweetheart.

“Expanding the tax credits. It’s not easy.”
Bullshit.
Qatari planes, gilded ballrooms, fancy parties in Mar-a-Lago, bonuses for ICE.
Refund ACA subsidies. Now.

This man is full of it. We ALL know “giving money directly to the patient,” is doomed. People will use it for rent and food, and still show up in ER’s.
It’s a sham to let people feel in control them slam the door on them later.
Absolute BS.
Dangerous.

Many of my friends work for companies or universities, or are legal immigrants, who are scared to show public support and fear being targeted.
Ways to silently protest: 1) spend NO MONEY on 10/18. Gas up, grocery shop, eat out on Friday or Sunday, NOT SATURDAY. 2) Wear yellow.

Ann was charming, and quite funny. Can’t wait to dive into Hello Beautiful as well as Good Hard Look now that I have some back story.
