Then, as a teacher in kindergarten I contracted ME/CFS. -Shitty stuff.

Remember you’ll be among friends.
Remember the others are already planning to disrupt every which they can and blame you.

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

A lot has been going on in the world these past months, that is outrageous and disheartening. But even on my homefront with old parents, changes occour that are sad and challenging. I rest a lot when not dealing with this and follow the news through podcasts.
Sending you all good wishes! 💖

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, America gains solidarity.

As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous.

As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime.

As we weaken Trump and his regime, we have less to fear.

No matter how many times Republicans say otherwise, there is *no way* they can pay for their tax cuts for the rich without gutting healthcare and food assistance for the poor — along with other programs that millions of people rely on.

Don't believe their lies for a second.

Any traders with inside information that Trump was going to walk back his tariffs — some of them, presumably, Trump family members and cronies — just made a fortune.

It all feels like chaos until you look more closely at who is winning.

Niccolò Machiavelli argued that sometimes it is “a very wise thing to simulate madness.” 

Wise, that is, for the manipulative ruler.

Trump is simulating madness, but it’s all about increasing his wealth and power.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. 

That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class.

The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. 

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

What’s really going on with the economy?

I believe Trump and his billionaire buddies — the American oligarchy — have a plan.

They want a recession. robertreich.substack.com/p/why-trump-...
Why we’ll have a recession
Trump wants to get it over early in his term, so he and his fellow billionaires can buy up everything cheap and then enjoy the ride upward

While the United States has plenty of real problems to deal with, Trump is ignoring them to manufacture fake emergencies.

Why?

He wants more power — and in the process, he’s subjecting millions to real harm.

America’s actual national emergency is Donald J. Trump.

A post some weeks old, but still relevant:
These are frightening times. Your courage and tenacity are desperately needed. They will be needed for the rest of this year and next, and the years thereafter. Which is why you must also take care of yourself. robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-tho...

I found this helpful to understand more of what's on:
How much damage will Trump's trade wars cause?

What are Republicans hiding in their new budget plan?

And what can Wisconsin and Florida tell us about the 2026 midterms?

Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country?

Congress? Any answers?
