Enjoyed 107 Days by @kamalanation.bsky.social. Great book. Valiant campaign. Respectfully question 3 issues: should’ve invited Palestinian-American speaker & Teamsters’ Sean O’Brien to speak at DNC & Joe Rogan interview. All said, great leader, great book, energetic campaign. 💯 deserved to win.

Here’s a sick perverse statement. “The only people who actually deserve peace are those who are willing to wage war to defend it,” - Pete Hegseth, as he was shaming & de-legitimizing US military leaders. Moral humans say that people deserve peace if they are peaceful with others.

Trump slashed more than $1T from healthcare and food assistance and fired tens of thousands of federal workers, but some how he just came up with $20B to bail out fellow authoritarian Javier Gerardo Milei, president of Argentina. So much for America First.

Love my Mn Vikings (3-2) but I am a little surprised that they won. Goes down as a W! Great game. Browns are the best 1-4 team.

Friends, why would Trump be kicking 190,000 truck drivers off of the road? We have to face that face that, for whatever reason, he’s tanking the economy. Demonstrate. Sue. Speak out and say NO! www.google.com/gasearch?q=t...

As of October 2025, employment in U.S. services sector has shrank for the fourth straight month due to Trump policies. Trump seems to be deliberately weakening demand, increasing costs from tariffs and inflation, and disrupting labor market with his persecution of immigrants and uncertainty.
