I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate.

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.
So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000.

Hear, hear! I don’t give a shit about someone’s immigration status.
I want them all to get citizenship if they want it. I want a legal, tractable and accessible process. That’s all.
Immigrants are not a threat. Racists are.

Remarkable: Majority of working class voters oppose deportations of undocumented immigrants with jobs/no criminal records, per new Marquette data.
Remember how pundits said 2024 meant Dems must become restrictionist to win back working class? I challenge that here:

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

You have to identify with the people who are the victims of injustice — not with their perpetrators.
