Listening to @akilahhughes.com Rebel Spirit Season 2 episode 8 on a flight from Phoenix to Boston and what a pleasant surprise to hear not only @jamellebouie.net but also @joesonka.lpm.org, this is really one of the best podcasts out there. Beware of what you wish for on a monkey’s paw.

People are claiming Gov. Beshear can appoint McConnell’s replacement if his Senate seat becomes vacant. That’s false. Kentucky’s Republican-controlled legislature changed the law in 2024 to eliminate the governor’s appointment power. Read the law: apps.legislature.ky.gov/record/24rs/...

Heading to Phoenix this week for a vibe check and I’m taking recommendations. If you’re in the Phoenix and have opinions about where to eat, or what to see, drop it in the comments.

Another banger of an episode by @akilahhughes.com. Season two of Rebel Spirit still as good as season one. And yes, I do love breakfast.

We have to stop pretending wealth is proof of intelligence. In America, wealth tracks inheritance, access, tax policy, power, and proximity to capital, not moral virtue or superior thinking. If being rich meant being smart, we wouldn’t need bailouts or corporate subsidies.

The AI market paradox: Stocks soared 50.8% in 2025 while 76,440 workers lost jobs to automation in the same year. Investors are celebrating. Workers are terrified. Here’s why Wall Street’s AI euphoria masks a workforce crisis no one’s talking about 🧵

I remember when the GOP swore IDs for gun ownership were tyranny, because the Constitution protects that right, and you can’t compare it to a driver’s license which is not in the Constitution. Now they want voter ID and say, It’s just like a driver’s license. But voting is in the Constitution.

ICE didn’t appear out of nowhere. It sits in a long American lineage of policing designed to control labor, movement, and belonging, especially for Black and Brown people. The parallels to 18th–19th century slave patrols aren’t rhetorical. They’re structural.

“International law applies to everyone.” Reality: It’s enforced selectively. Threats or strikes against Venezuela, Cuba, Colombia, or Mexico get statements. Not consequences.

GOP members are trying to frame U.S. actions toward Venezuela as a replay of Panama 1989. That analogy doesn’t hold—legally, politically, or internationally. This all leads back to Project 2025.

I’m certain the “Average American” will strongly disagree with the rhetoric and language coming from the right, but on the other hand will challenge every proposal and plan from the left.

For a nation whose national anthem proclaims “…home of the brave…” it’s quite surprising to find so many cowards leading major corporations, organizations, and the government.

Right-wing podcasters keep screaming that the “Western world” is collapsing. It’s vague on purpose — fear sells better than facts.

2026 won’t be about big announcements — it’ll be about quiet moves. Project 2025 set the direction, 2026 is about locking it in. Here’s what to watch.

Project 2025 wasn’t a campaign slogan — it was a governing blueprint. One year in, large portions aren’t hypothetical anymore. They’re being tested, piloted, or normalized.

This weekend’s TPUSA AmFest in Phoenix was nothing short of a White Christian nationalist rally in front of 30,000+ conservatives from across the country.

This week wasn’t chaotic — it was coordinated. Every headline points to the same strategy: avoid votes, obscure funding, and exhaust the public into silence.

Will Johnson @billydeltoro.bsky.social · 18/12/2025
Last night’s address wasn’t about governing — it was about control of the narrative. Big promises, selective facts, and a lot of heat aimed at people already under pressure.

The education crisis isn’t students — it’s states hollowing out public schools while pretending it’s “local control.”

This week wasn’t chaotic — it was coordinated. 15-year auto loans. Foreclosures up ~20%. SNAP money sitting unused while hunger rises. Corporate layoffs, stagnant wages, and quiet military escalation abroad. They call it stability. It’s extraction. Don’t let them lie or gaslight you.

Let’s stop pretending ICE is “just enforcing the law.” Its entire design mirrors the 19th-century slave-catcher system: hunt, detain, disappear. Different century, same state-sanctioned machinery targeting the same communities of color.

Today’s DHS hearing wasn’t “oversight.” It was a public rehearsal for a whiter, harsher America — wrapped in national-security cosplay.

Every headline this week points to the same truth: wealth moving up, rights pushed down, and the GOP laser-focused not on solutions — but on targeting Black and Muslim women in Congress.

Let’s just say the quiet part out loud: This regime isn’t inventing new tactics — it’s recycling Jim Crow playbook pages with 21st-century branding. Different century, same targets: Black people, Brown people, immigrants, the poor, and anyone outside the “preferred” demographic.

Will Johnson @billydeltoro.bsky.social · 08/12/2025
2025 National Security Strategy dropped a clear message: this regime wants a louder military footprint abroad and a tighter grip on who gets to belong at home. “Hardening the homeland” is now baked into national policy — migration is treated as a national security threat, not a humanitarian reality.

Kristi Noem announced the U.S. will expand its travel ban to over 30 countries, adding to the 19 already blocked. Noem refused to name the full list — citing “security concerns.”  It’s not just a policy shift — it’s a message: you can be foreign, but not “foreign enough.” Citizenship ≠ safety.

The housing squeeze just got a new wave. National data show prices and rents still soaring — but the supply shortage isn’t just about demand. A growing portion of American homes aren’t being sold to families — they’re being snatched up by big investment firms and corporate landlords.

The latest ADP report just dropped: 32,000 private-sector jobs lost in November — a surprise collapse after months of perceived “stability.” Small businesses took the hit hardest: firms under 50 employees shed ~120,000 jobs, as large companies added a few.

During the latest Cabinet meeting, Trump launched a public xenophobic tirade against Somali immigrants — calling them “garbage” and saying “we don’t want them in our country.” Cabinet members banged the table in agreement. Not a slip. It’s rhetoric used to justify cruelty, deportations, and erasure.

New today: Kristi Noem — head of DHS — called for a sweeping “full travel ban” on all countries she claims are “sending killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies” to the U.S. No list. No criteria. Just a blanket ban fueled by fear and xenophobia.

Monday opens with shaky markets and even shakier leadership. Global stocks slide, consumer confidence tanks, and the holiday “boom” is all smoke and mirrors. But the chaos isn’t random — it mirrors the incompetence and ideology of this regime’s Four Horsemen.

The economic mood in the U.S. is sliding rapidly — this week the consumer-confidence index crashed to its lowest level since April. Fear, uncertainty, rising prices, and political instability are now crowding the Thanksgiving table.
