The roads in Dallas are crumbling, the educational outcomes are bad, the inequality is high, the poverty rate is higher than the national average, and significant racial segregation persists. But yes, let's talk about how it's a place that's safe from failed socialist experiments.

We need to practice it.
That means protest, organizing, defiance, and collective care
not parades and platitudes.

Trump's argument for the elimination of the estate tax is that the heirs of the super rich will no longer have to go beg a predatory Jewish banker for a bridge loan to overcome cash flow problems associated with the $15 million dollar estate they're about to get.

The next one is for Medicare and the one after that is Social Security.

1. The FCC has suspended a rule, schedule to go in effect this year, that would have banned prisons from price gouging on phone calls.
Right now, at some jails, a 15-minute phone call can cost over $11.
The decision benefits some of Trump's top donors.

My guest this week on SPOLITICS is New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Khalen Saunders. Khalen made national news when he announced his annual youth football camp is LGBTQ+ inclusive. He also discusses how watching his brother Kameron navigate life as a Black boy/man informed his allyship.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.
