Men like to compete. The Trump administration is shutting down everything that will track and fund climate. China sees a huge opportunity and will flood the world's market with green products tariff free. Green will live on because it's cheaper while America misses the boat.
American innovation has definitely slowed down. Why is that?
Idiots.
The cost they say of this is over a million dollars a day. Really? The soldiers were taken away from their jobs, their families. Say again, what is the real cost?
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
Science is real
It's worse than that. She's about to do a book tour. He wants her dead.
NYC — Catch a bus to the Hamptons Sunday (8/31) morning to protest some horrible billionaires. Details below 👇
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
I live just down the road from the Air Force. It's not a good look at all.
"It's further eroding...the credibility of those who are in leadership positions in our military, that they would allow full military honors to someone who lost their life while committing the act of sedition." Michael Fanone discusses Ashli Babbitt with JVL:
Hail to the orange Hitler.
That bill in no way was good for the American people. It was good for the ultra rich. We know where Mike Johnson stands.
It's about power and money. Just like every dictator. Rape and pillage and then move on. You can see how it works by watching Putin. He invaded Ukraine for resources that he doesn't bother to develop in his own country. In corporate America we call that a hostile takeover.
There was never any doubt that it was completely illegal, that it was all bullshit www.wfsb.com/2025/08/29/a...
This is nuts. For instance, we fuse glass people order specialty items from Australia. As of this week, that door has been shut and will very likely never open up again. 👎

Some good news. substack.com/@bluepowerde...

Barf. Hey Air Force. I live here in Colorado. You are just down the street. This is not a good look for you.

Meanwhile, Trump is pushing for more private-sector usage of AI and fast tracking permits for more data centers after Big Tech companies donated huge amounts to his inauguration. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/14/b...
This is what I'm talking about. It's obscene. Truly obscene.
You can add firefighters to that list.
Watch. If you claim one of these to get a vaccine, they’ll use it later as a preexisting condition to crank up your health premium or kick you off your plan.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
Nebraskins are another red state victim of propaganda media. They watch/listen to Faux and more and have been told that everything else is lies. 18% of them are on Medicaid. It's going to get worse.
Check this out! It's wonderful. ❤️
I appreciate the feedback and I don't want to confuse people. It's been a long day. I'll work with it more tomorrow. I do want to use it as it so squarely focuses on the essence of our problem here which are these powerful rich people.
Me too. The way to do that is to tax the hell out of corporations that do not pay a living wage.
I do not support Trump. I've never voted for him. Heritage foundation is nuts. Go back and read my post. It is designed to appeal to all. Because, we all need to go forward in huge numbers to transition back to where we actually have an American dream again.
Over 70% of this nation's wealth is owned by the top 20%. There's no hope that the bottom 50% can someday retire. In fact, there is very little hope for that from 50 to 80% either. We need to start educating people/maga. Maga is supporting the greedy, ultra rich guys to their own detriment.
Some wonderful news for a change! Go veteran activists! substack.com/@bluepowerde...
I've been working on this post this morning and it's grown.
Check this out! It's wonderful. ❤️
Here is some amazingly wonderful news! substack.com/@bluepowerde...
So is our media, on both sides. It's time to break up corporate media into chunks. They can't be trusted.
I've always known what a con artist he is. However, billionaires/corporations are covering it up because after all, they can. They own our media. It is in their best interests for the people of America not to realize what a crook he/they are. We have to breakup corp media into much smaller chunks.
I don't believe that maga voted for ICE stealing the people that clean their houses, wash dishes in their restaurants and that pick their food. They voted for the immigrant criminals to be taken out of this country. They voted for the falsehood that immigrants are on Medicaid...an outright lie.
In the 1980s, we lost health benefits and corporations began spreading work to large portions of a contract worker base who had no benefits. In the 1990s, we lost our pensions. 401 ks are not enough to retire on.
Back in the late 70s, instead of one middle class wage earner affording two cars, a house, education and retirement, we gradually went to two income earners in a household being able to afford those things.
In 1980 we had one billionaire. Now we have 902. How did this happen? Trickle down that never happened. Lack of regulation of corporations. As the GNP skyrocketed, all the profits went to the top in corporate America. The American wage earner never received a wage increase.
In 1980 small business was the engine that could producing 73% of our gross national product. Now it is corporations producing over 70%. The American worker is at the mercy of these corporations the pay 50% of their workforce low to poverty wages. Low equals 17K a year.
Break up the monopolies. Small business can't get an edge in. Tax the rich. Support small business, the American worker and unions. There's a lot more work to do of course. But this is basic.
I don't log into anything that Mark Zuckerberg owns. Threads is one of those apps.
Jeez. I didn't realize there was any cause for celebration. Especially not lately. However, I am celebrating a strong resistance. Today's contribution:
The survivors should have been heard from the very beginning. Their voices matter, their truth matters, and their fight for justice matters. I stand in full solidarity with them — and I will NOT shut up until the #EpsteinFiles are released. ✊💙 #ListenToTheVictims #JusticeNow #FuckTrump
Copying is the best form of flattery they say. 😆😄☺️
No one voted for something that states manage! We voted for affordable food on the table, retirement and the ability to send our children to higher education. Instead we got tarrif taxed where the only beneficiary is the rich.
No one voted for city occupations. We voted for affordable food on the table, retirement and the ability to send our children to higher education. Not for this BS. Instead we got tarrif taxed with the only beneficiaries being the rich.
This while Americans can't afford food on the table. Dictatorship and authoritarianism is not what anyone but a small group of right extremists voted for. We got tarrifs instead. Also, there is this:
It will be worse than that and has already started as states try to figure out what to do with the huge shortfall in money they will have to live with as the cuts go into effect after the midterms.
I remember GOP screaming that the Affordable Care Act would lead to “death panels”. Here we are kicking the elderly and disabled off Medicaid and shutting down rural hospitals

News stations breaking away from Trump's press briefing or whatever it was to announce Taylor/Travis engagement. Lol! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8BQ1PDL/

Picking up trash by the National car in Washington DC is costing the American taxpayer over a million a day.
