In October 2024, the U.S. unemployment rate was 4.1 % and the inflation rate was 2.6 %. Now, unemployment is 4.4 %, inflation has risen to 3 %, and we’ve added $3 Trillion to the national debt. The “Golden Age” feels more like the “Broke-Ass Olden Age.”

That they have lived with this trauma & pain for so long is truly heartbreaking. How anyone can support protecting the perpetrators any longer is hard to believe & a complete disgrace!

If I was on Air Force One, and I heard Trump address a female reporter as “piggy,” I’d have gotten in his face and demanded he apologize to her. Why did no one say anything to Trump? I’m pissed off about this. Have a watch.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...

We will have to move many more of us from watching and commiserating (which I do all the time too) to mobilizing our communities, volunteering like the 90k people in NYC did for Zorhan Mamdani, running for office, and other actions.
Millions of "small" actions create big cracks in fascism.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Excessive force. PERIOD!
They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.
