“No one gives a sh*t about housing.” “If [gas prices] rise, they rise.” "I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation." Millions are struggling with the cost of food, housing, and other basic necessities. 70% of U.S. adults say the American Dream is dead. And this is how Trump responds?

My conclusions were made seconds after I saw a headline but it's good to know the facts.

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

What I don't understand is people who aren't interested at all in democracy, don't see the point of it, but then swoon onto a divan when there's a political murder or act of terrorism. Do they get without democracy, that's what "politics" becomes? Power, violence, intimidation, murder, terrorism?

If women submitting to men was a natural way of being, they would not have needed laws, religion & violence to get them to do it.

Imperfect allies aren’t enemies
Critique to build, not tear down
Organize, don’t just argue
Movements win, not just individuals
Perfection is the enemy of progress
Ego kills movements
Plan for the long game
Meet people where they are
Power doesn’t care about feelings
Division is a weapon used by elite
Don’t play along

US billionaires have hoarded more wealth than the next 10 country's billionaires combined - even after all the billionaires at trump's's inauguration lost $209 billion since his inauguration. The US has 30% of the world's billionaires & has hoarded 40% of the total billionaire wealth.

They estimate this operation has cost the U.S. over $16M which is low because it doesn't count the photo op flights in and out by Kristi Noem and Pete Hegseth. They built 1600 tents that ICE can't use because they are inhumane. My latest. Subscribe for free! open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from nearby farms and ranchers. Roughly $660 million that schools and child care facilities were counting on to purchase food has been canceled. This will hurt both kids and small, local farmers.

Because the first question shifts the blame to the desperate, making their morality the focus, while the second question demands accountability from the powerful. It's easier to question survival than to challenge greed.
