From @producrgrl.bsky.social alt text added
If billionaires can't afford a 3% wealth tax...
Maybe they should:
Get a second job 
Make coffee at home
Stop buying avocado toast
Cancel a few subscriptions 
Learn to live within their means
Pull themselves up by their bootstraps 
You know - the advice they've been giving the working people for decades.

The Big Beautiful Delay
Why you're not feeling the bill -- yet
H.R.1 ("The Big Beautiful Bill") was designed to delay the damage until after the 2026 midterms.

Here's what's coming...but not just yet:
- Medicaid work rules December 2026
- Food aid restrictions crate 2026
- Clean energy credits end Mid to late 2026
- Student loan changes Gradually by 2026
- Affordable housing cuts Ohased in post2026
- Rural hospital funding declined Statts 2026

Why It's Delayed:
- Politicians want your vote before you feel the impact.
- The harshest parts are hidden until after the ballots are cast.
- By then, it's harder to stop.

STAY ALERT. SPREAD THE WORD. KNOW WHAT'S COMING.
Watch what's delayed -- Not just what's announced. 
Share.

ThIs is more about his 79th birthday than about the 250th anniversary of the US Army. He is enacting his fantasy of being Putin in the USA. His interviews on Fox News show that he is not mentally competent to run the country. The fact that he is not included in attack plans clearly show this.

National Parks had a record breaking 331 million visitors last year. Pass it on! #RemoveTrump #RemoveVance #SaveOurParks
Headline from the New York Times:

National Parks had a record year.  Trump officials appear to want it kept quiet. 

Screenshot from the article:
The Trump Administration does not want to call attention to those numbers, according to a National Park Service memo, amid mass firings of rangers and other employees....

Summary of screenshot:
America's National Parks just had a record breaking 331 millions visits, but Trump officials don't want you to know.  A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting these numbers - while they fire rangers, close visitor centers, and promote drilling, logging, and mining.  

It would be a shame if you pissed off Trump by spreading the word!
