This reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Ned Flanders got angry. All humor aside, there goes the stock market.

This is just intolerable.
For all my conservative friends & family, I don't want to hear "we're funding them more than anyone else" or "but Obama only gave them sheets" or "we give them too much money" or "it doesn't benefit us". My answer to that are below:

Ok. I have an honesty question for all of my "leftist" friends, family, and community. (FYI - I'm using "quotes" for terms that are arguable broad and/or not well defined IMHO)
Are you happier being an insurgent under Trump than you were morally opposed to Kamala?

As inflation continues to rise, don't forget that concentrated corporate power fuels higher prices.
But instead of continuing Lina Khan's work, Trump's FTC Chair wants to end the "war on mergers."
Minimal competition means maximized price gouging.

I have a longer post about this on Facebook and could use the help to spread it. This news article shows why we need to reach out to low information voters if we are going to fight back against the current administration. I'll copy the text of the larger post below.

This is shocking! We need to focus on economics and "kitchen table" issues as part of policy. We lost because we didn't clearly communicate this.

The federal government promised it would reimburse farmers for millions in infrastructure investments, but Trump's funding freeze just left farmers on the hook.
And if Trump's tariffs go through, farmers will be in even more dire straits.
A "new Golden Age" for whom?

Someone of the left needs to cover Fortunate Son by Creedence Clearwater Revival showing a new vision of how we see America. Something that shows a full cross section of all of the working class. Also... It needs to become our anthem.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but... Please listen to this and try to work through cynicism and depression. We need to be more open and aware of our fears if we hope to make social change.

I'm worried about the state of information and media in the digital age. With the dramatic increase in media, it's harder to verify information or find/choose the best source of information. I feel like we're getting to a "post-truth/knowledge" society with everyone in their own personal reality.

Hmmm.... I'm not sure I like BlueSky. The character limit for posts and replies is annoying and reminds me of why I hated old school twitter. I don't like how you can't see full threads of comments. Where's my "slow" social media where I can write full articles and post rich content?
