Your School House Rock moment...π€
Itβs weird that the guy whoβs famous for firing people now wonβt fire anyone, no matter how big the fuck up.
This is one of the better rundown's I've seen, it's probably mostly this:
Everyone, go sell your car to yourself for less than you paid, and take the loss on your taxes. It's totally legal, thank you later. Sidenote, it may not be totally legal unless you are a billionaire.
Thirty years of cutting education funding. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. π€·π»ββοΈ
I think itβs pretty safe to say trump telegraphed how his presidency would go when speaking about women during the campaign. Remember him saying βWhether they like it or notβ when speaking about womenβs issues? That pretty much goes for everything heβs done.
I work with the CDFI community every day through a valuable and important microbusinesses loan program running in Arizona. Today a colleague shared that for every $1 invested in microbusiness loans, thereβs an $8 return in the form of biz growth, community development and positive economic impact.
Ukraine was once the third largest nuclear power in the world and they relinquished all their weapons after signing the "Budapest Memorandum of Security Assurances" in 1994.
Russia, the United States, France, the UK, Belarus, and Kazakhstan were the other signatories.
Itβs been an hour since the press conference. I bet trump has already called Putin and said βDid you see that? Howβd I do, boss?β
In a span of 24 hours Trump:
β’Signed EO withdrawing USA from UN Human Rights Council
β’Declared ethnic cleaning of Gaza & US control
β’Sent immigrants to a Gitmo concentration camp
β’Said heβd let El Salvador imprison US Citizens
If you still donβt see this fascism for what it is youβre complicit.
There has never been a better time to go out of your way to make an extra effort to shop at family-owned small businesses buying local products whenever possible, avoiding chains, online behemoths, and big corporations whenever you are able.
If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.
Just something so on-brand that a bible was just being used as a prop and had no actual purpose in this situation
Heβs got one last chance at redemption if he does this again at the inauguration.
βUrgentβ by Foreigner is the one that baffles me the most. That band rocked and had some pretty damn good guitar players. Why??? π·
The Supreme Court ruled corporations were allowed to donate unlimited amounts to politicians in 2010.
It only took them 6 years to take complete control of the government and 15 years to mark sure their voices are the only ones the masses ever hear again.
Ave Maria on a four-year loop. Maybe heβll just freeze up again.
βMy Girlβ by the Temptations deserves consideration.
It absolutely is bro.
Nancy Mace and other transphobes are afraid of a hypothetical scenario where a trans person in a public restroom does the things that Donald Trump brags about doing.
Huge night for open racism over on the other site. Donβt believe me? Go over and search βCaitlin Clarkβ and see.
I donβt think I can handle four more years of this, and it hasnβt even started.
Every policy heβs proposing is going to incur legal challenges, so itβs good to know his top advisor is nowhere near up to the task of going head to head with progressive Americaβs top legal minds. Please continue, and I guess thank you for making challenging your insane policies easier. π€·π»ββοΈ
The birthright citizenship portion of the US Constitution is totally, inarguably unambiguous. No wiggle room. If the supreme court agrees to throw it out they are explicitly throwing out the entire document and our entire system of government.
A busy week, so I didnβt get to post that much here. Anyways, hereβs Kat, thinking deep thoughts on a Saturday. #caturday
Enjoy! Spend some quality time with Vera, Chuck and Dave. π
This thread is definitely worth the time to readβ¦
