President Trump “We used most favored nation status to slash pricess 100%, 400%, 500% in some cases. People said we couldn’t do it.”
Best example that Donny Darko doesn’t understand math.
If something costs $100 and you lower prices 100% then it costs $0… 🤦🏻♂️

BREAKING: Trump’s base is turning on him in his most recent post from an hour ago. Of course, he’s calling it a hoax. Fox News is trying to spin the narrative that there is no smoking gun. Shocker🤨

This is the best “Do you know who you’re talking to?” post I’ve seen in a VERY long time.
Since it matters to you so much:
"I always learn something when you're on with us." That's what Al Sharpton said to me on one of my appearances on his show Politics Nation.
You are a weird obsessive person who is using Al Sharpton as a shield so you can chase clout. You should be embarrassed.

@discobriandavis.bsky.social all of your retorts here seem to be about proving yourself righteous and not the disgusting way you are treating @angryblacklady.blacksky.app so here’s your clarity. Just stop. Because they asked you to stop digitally harassing them.
You posted a 2022 clip from Politics Nation, when we were on the same side of the moral line.
My critique is about how some of us drifted from that lane & joined the DSA-left in trashing Biden-Harris when the 2024 stakes were existential.
I’m not chasing clout — I’m chasing clarity. 🪩💜

Why isn’t someone working with all of the farmers getting punched in the mouth by this administration to set up solar farms on some of their land, help the energy shortage and the farmers get the revenue from selling that power to the grid. 🤷🏻♂️🧐

Proud of Colorado for being part of the solution.
15 US states and territories have formed a new Public Health Alliance, which will counter the absence of federal leadership by tracking outbreaks, issuing guidance, buying vaccines and more.
Members of the new alliance include CA, CO, CT, DE, GU, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, NC, OR, RI, WA.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

When Brazil adopted quotas for higher ed, the percentage of Afro Brazilians in higher ed shot up 400 percent and all of them did as well as non-affirmative action students.
The idea that affirmative action is stigmatizing and elevates unqualified people is a BS argument.

Screw SCOTUS. Higher Education Needs Racial Quotas. (Updated)
If the United States leaned into racial quotas instead of running screaming from them, we might have seen results like Brazil's.

250 years of slavery. 88 years of Jim Crow. But somehow we're all supposed to succeed by pretending we started on equal footing beginning in the mid 1960s. Come the fuck on.

This is what America looks like when we let fascists into power. Every family member and friend who voted for Trump, voted for this. They empowered a fear based ideology of small hearted actions against innocent citizens whose only “crime” is being non-white. DISGUSTING.
This is Chicago, armed fascist thugs pointing guns at unarmed US citizens.
