Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

There has never been a time when the triple evils that Dr. King fought against—racism, militarism, and poverty—have been more intertwined and on lurid display

When Reagan took office in 1981, the National Debt was $934 billion. When Reagan left in 1989, it was $2.6 Trillion -- a 270% increase. Reagan spent more than the taxes he raised, boosting the National Debt for eight years, confident it would be handled by other, future Presidents...

Even in countries that chose *not* to impose retaliatory tariffs on US spirits, our spirits exports have plummeted. Exports to UK and Japan declined >23% YoY, while exports to the EU were down 12%. Canada did retaliate - and US exports there fell 85%. www.distilledspirits.org/wp-content/u...

🇺🇸💸 The U.S. just sent $20B to Argentina 🇦🇷 while China 🇨🇳 hasn’t bought a single U.S. soybean 🌱 since May. Argentina cut tariffs so China buys from THEM instead of US. Our farmers 🚜 are hurting. How is this a “good deal” for America? 🤔 #AmericaFirst #Farmers #Trade

Why do we have so many men amongst us willing to step forward and handle women or anyone like this, even in spite of 10-15 cameras on him? This is deeply troubling.

Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

I wouldn't make a big distinction between the situation for Black women and Black men. The labor market situation for both has deteriorated sharply since January. The Black unemployment has risen a full pp to 7.2%, the white rate hasn't budged at 3.7%

Put a useful idiot in charge of economic statistics and we suddenly get a reason to suspend our most valuable and reliable measures, just as the economy is slowing. It's cooking the books by erasing inconvenient numbers. Indefensibly destructive, economically harmful, and markets will hate it.
