Yup.
I'm telling y'all, these dudes don't know anything.🤡

Frank Sinatra was a vocal anti-racist. He fought racism with his actions, his words, and his money.

Actions:
Refused to stay at segregated hotels. Made sure Black artists got paid fairly.

Words:
Literally wrote an article in Ebony Magazine

Imagine choosing Nicki Minaj over Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion in their little feud. Embarrassing.

Don't feel bad for her that she supposedly lost 10M Instagram followers. She's still rich.

And Nicki and Kanye can open for each other, and feature on each others' albums. She'll be fine.

They are the largest hate group in America, wrapping themselves in the red-white-and-blue of the flag, marching into the middle of American cities and claiming to be patriots.

Yup. I've been telling y'all this for 10+ straight years at this point. Most Black folk in the US have.🔮🧙🏿‍♂️

The data keeps showing the same thing over and over in different ways.

And the college degree thing is an intentional sleight of hand. Because mega-rich Americans don't have college degrees.🤷🏿‍♂️
Amon white people, the correlation between racial resentment and their vote is much, much stronger than between educational attainment and political alignment.

In fact, if you control for racial resentment, education polarization basically disappears.

It's clear you care about this a lot, but you deeply misunderstand why I'm talking about this.

I came up in ag as a farm worker. I AM one of the minority of farmers who aren't millionaires. I have to rent land.

And knowing *I'm in the minority* is super helpful for navigating the ag sector.
Please rethink speaking for all of us in sweeping ways. I've never made more than $17/hr farming, don't own any land & live in an area surrounded by farms of all colors & economic backgrounds. Our farmer's market farmers don't fit your mold-many are Amish & others don't own the land they farm on.

Our troops have a #DutyToDisobey illegal orders.

Illegal orders include dropping bombs on random people on boats in international waters.

(The U.S. Coast Guard knows how to interdict boats suspected of carrying drugs LEGALLY!)

These are 100% illegal orders.

Double frying Southern fried chicken is the greatest scientific breakthrough of the modern era. I believe it won the Nobel prize for chicken, or it should have.

Not since the invention of toast transformed bread forever, have the words, "Shall we cook it again?" yielded such bountiful results.

Dismantling the Institutional Review Board (IRB), that oversees all human subjects research, is bad. Really bad.

RFK is undoing human subjects protections so he can conduct placebo trials of vaccines. That means infecting people knowingly. I wonder who will “volunteer” for these trials? If history is any guide, a lot of incarcerated and other powerless people.

No! Don't treat innocent immigrants like innocent Black women! 🤡

The GOP wants to put immigrant women in a facility where they will get unnecessary gynecological exams without their consent! Evil!

The Dems only want to put innocent Black US citizens in there! Good!

Some of y'all are pointing out that Trump ran the FBI on Jan 6, and had run it for ~1,400 days straight at this point.

I'm not giving investment advice of course, but I'm telling you what I don't do: I don't short Tesla.

Shorting Tesla, is essentially asking the question: "How rich exactly are US finance and tech bros that don't know anything about the world?"

The answer to that question is "Ungodly rich."🤷🏿‍♂️
EISMAN: Tesla’s earnings “are down 60% from 2022 through 2025. And the stock is slightly higher. ..
