If you have an “undecided” friend/family/coworker show them this very simple job growth graph. Explain that the blue bars are job growth under Biden & the red (job loss) bars & low blue bars are in 2025-2026.

This was an amazing event. And the contrast with Trump unable to have his pathetic "Freedom 250" concert & this incredible inspiring heart fueled event is mind blowing.

Since 1993 (Clintons 1st term), we have had 17 Congresses. Of those, Republicans have had control of the House 12 times (70% of the time) & 9/17 (53%) Senate Control. I’d say Congressional Republicans have sucked at their job.

The Trump Regime "launched" their government Chatbot like it was the newest Apple release. BUT THEY ARE ALREADY REPROGRAMMING IT TO SPREAD THEIR PROPAGANDA. On Day 1, it truthfully said Biden won 2020 election & there's no evidence of cheating. The next day it said it "can't answer" that question.

Our founders understood that RELIGION IS AN OPINION. That's why they put it in the 1st Amendment with all of the other protections connected to public OPINION: religion, the press, speech, assembly, & to petition the government. America was NEVER intended as a Christian Theocracy!

This article in the Washington Post did not quote the crazy way Trump refused to negotiate with Iran. When I tried to comment on that, WA PO blocked my comment. Bezos apparently doesn’t allow Trump to be called unhinged and unfit. Which seems pretty tame, given the reality.

It's much deeper than a lack of education. We live in a systemic heteronormative racist patriarchal society. So we all internalize some of this thinking. But then there are a large number of Americans (& all of MAGA) who teach hate. Their religion teaches hate. Their social groups reinforce hate.

Remove Trump NOW. He's creating instability in Europe & the Middle East. He's pirating Venezuela like an evil imperialist. And now he's building a 2nd Command Coup Center in AN ARCH! He says he plans snipers & drones at this arch--right next to the airport! Who is he planning to shoot down! 😬

You're right about the graph and expecting people to do more than just "read the headlines" so to speak. I think what people object to is Trump's whole "drill baby drill;" he's the best energy producer ever, etc, when he's clearly not.

As Trump brags that his 68th bombing of unknown boats and 227 deaths of unknown people is "lowering" drug overdose deaths in US, it's interesting to note that the CDC website says OD death count is not reliable due to "longer than usual delays" in collecting data. Facts matter.

The “demand an immediate retraction” letter from Trump’s attorney said way worse things about Trump than the actual article said. 😆…Trump knowingly lied to American people. Manipulated crime statistics for political advantage. Exploited public fear. Abused military & executive authority. Yep. ✅✅✅

A study looked at > 4 million youth (16-25 yo) & found NO INCREASE IN CARDIAC DISEASE due to Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine. But getting infected with COVID without vaccination caused a 5X increase in myocarditis, 2X increase in pericarditis, & 30% increased mortality. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Dolly Parton was the “good kind” of Christian who loved all and left the judgement to her God. She always supported the gay and trans communities and clearly got a lot of gender affirming care herself.

I have bad news for you. The majority of white voters have not voted for a Democratic President since LBJ in 1964. So is your argument that Black & white voters shouldn’twork together to get rid of our current Trump Police State fascist regime because most white voters vote Republican? Odd argument.

Dr Deb K @drdebk.bsky.social · 21/08/2026
I can't support you while you remain part of the divisive "Promise to America" group that undermines the Democratic Party and undermines a better future for our country. We need a 21st Century New Deal, NOT a commitment to the status quo which is destroying our country w/ massive wealth inequality.

Trump has cut 25,000 positions in our science programs & withheld billions already awarded research grants. Treatments for cancer, diabetes, infections, strokes, heart attacks, are being lost as I type these words. Trump wants to decimate Science while wasting billions on his loser war.

I think at a minimum Blue states that are big "givers" to the federal government and give billions more than they get back like CA & NY need to start withholding all those federal income taxes in a separate account run by the state. Trump has withheld billions from blue states to punish them.
States that pay more to the federal government than they get back.

The Trump Kleptocracy continues to give millions of our tax dollars to his cronies who have no experience providing essential services to immigrant children. A new day, another harm to our society & money for the Trump loyalists. Banana Republic indeed. www.npr.org/2026/08/12/n...

Please support Justin Pearson for 9th Congressional District. Tennessee eliminated the only Democratic & Black majority Congressional District when they sliced Memphis (green on map) into 3 pieces to drown Black votes with whites. We need to get EVERY Democrat & Independent out to vote!

My sympathies to the non-Republicans who live in Tennessee because they are going to have one of the stupidest Governors in the country, Marsha Blackburn.

The Republicans who fetishize and worship guns can't handle it if anyone within a 10 mile radius of Trump has one. Unless they are wearing a red hat. So, people should keep that in mind for any planning purposes. Just sayin.

Quite the contrast from President Biden’s Cabinet. The other difference: they were actually competent and qualified for the job.

Bummer. Taylor Farms acquired Earthbound Farms in 2019. So as usual, corporate America is behind everything. They do try to use sustainable methods while they lobby against GMO labels. Salad greens are complicated. BUY LOCAL whenever you can. www.foodbusinessnews.net/articles/136...

1st show me the audit for how they spent the TRILLION $$ that Defense already got!! That's a lot of money. How much went to bloated unnecessary & unvetted projects like to Don Jr drones? And Elon Musk. Or take some billions from the bloated ICE budget that was increased from $9 billion to $105 B!

You didn't "read the fine print" when you signed on to "A Promise for America" along with the same people who vote w/ Republicans most often. I checked to see if you removed yourself. You didn't. So I'm still not signing up to volunteer or restart my donation. www.thepromisetoamerica.com/signatories

They can control who can vote and whose votes are counted. But we must vote regardless and fight their cheating at every level. However, I find polls like these very depressing. Only 46% of voters prefer Democratic controlled Congress vs 42% Republican. It should be a landslide. It isn’t. 😔

Trump is golfing while more American military die. The US has been bombing Iran daily for a week w/no mention of how many Iranians we’ve killed. But when Iran retaliates, Trump will “open the gates of hell” on Iran. Cuz only Americans have the right to kill w/ impunity! share.google/HHA1YLkyojRO...

Technically she voted to advance the Billionaire Bailout Bill to the floor. After she got a $2 million donation from Blackstone billionaire. But GOP "allowed" Collins to vote against the final bill when her vote didn't count. Which is the only time she votes against Trump. When it has no impact.

Trump already did this in Dec 2020. He wrote an Executive Order and claimed he needed to declare a National Emergency to seize voting machines. But he was not surrounded by other criminals then and they refused. But Trump wrote it!
