Locking in for oral arguments on the big voting rights case at the Supreme Court.

The next two hours or so will be... incredibly bad.

Is there any reason to continue to take him “at his word” on anything.
It’s obvious that he’s just agitating to generate attention/ content. He’s trapped in the 80s-90s where there’s always another fiscal bubble to pump and dump. Facts, fundamentals and product take a backseat to hype and hyperbole.

🙄 Everyone on TikTok was being used. Either knowingly or unknowingly.
Just like Jack had already begun prostituting Twitter/ X long before Musk bought it.
TikTok was a Chinese Intel Op and influence platform.
Still is, with just a little GQPmaga flair now. 🤷🏻‍♂️

And they didn’t. Racial slurs are cool but education about how to spot a nazi is bad. TikTok is terrible now I can’t imagine once trumps board is in control.

👀 It was reported. This isn’t “news”, by any stretch.
Everyone was preoccupied with blaming him for everything Bibi did and forcing him out of office. 🙄🤷🏻‍♂️

George Floyd should still be here to celebrate his 52nd birthday. His life sparked a movement, and our fight for justice, accountability, and humanity continues. We’ll never stop saying his name.

I can definitely see that being a distinct possibility.
Especially through their compliant MSM just looking for headlines and agitprop.

🤔 FWIW This “bounty on ICE/ CBP” story (from ABC🤢) seems pretty sus, imho.
Firstly, cartels have more than likely been looking to “flip” Feds for many many decades, since the “Cocaine Cowboy” days… it’s obvious this is part of the administration’s “narco-terrorists” narrative. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Exactly. Indeed they’re using decades of unfettered militarization of law enforcement to allow DHS/ CBP/ ICE and even local LEOs… to be visually indistinguishable from military forces, NG or otherwise.

"I wish I were surprised, but I’m not. Trump’s new tariffs on China are exactly what happens when politics becomes performance art. He’s not protecting American workers. He’s protecting his own narrative. One where chaos equals leadership and headlines count more than consequences."

🤔 Remove all tax loopholes, eliminate all wealth offshoring by citizens and visa holders, reduce/ remove all non-charitable deductions for multi-millionaires/ billionaires.
Increase tech-sector corp. tax for not directly investing in infrastructure (power grid) and meaningful employment. 🤷🏻‍♂️
