We could put up signs that read "Trump is denying me health care" wherever soldiers are raking. Soldiers could rake directly behind the signs.

What if Americans could directly subsidize farmers through social media funding sites? The money could help them cover the costs mentioned in the TikTok. It would be a ton of money but the U.S. cannot let its farm industry collapse.

It fits the GOP's traitor as hero narrative.

But I prefer a text-based social media platform because voicing my outrage at the use of phrases like "adding an additional..." isn't as satisfying on a Big Video and Picture Slop site.

I’m serious. This REALLY infuriates me. @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com @cnn.com Do your job. You failed to lift this up in 2024. If farmers are hurting, explain why and who is to blame. And remind Americans that we paid BILLIONS for Trump’s first tariff blunder. It’s so irresponsible to ignore this.

For context on top of this, you could ask employers why they require a college degree for a particular job, even when the applicant pool is really shallow/limited.

In general, depends on alternatives and their platforms. If the alternative candidate held the same abortion view plus they promised to do things that restrict voting rights then I'd vote for the former.

build a modern bridge over the Potomac River that would complete the express connection btw DC and Virginia, and thereby link the northeast corridor all the way to FL.

On the left, my warning from September 2024 about what Trump 2.0 would look like. On the right, recent headlines. I wish I'd been wrong. But because Trump is following a classic authoritarian playbook, it’s up to state and local governments to push back on this tyranny while it’s still possible.
