For every fool that thinks Trump will be good for the economy… You’re in for one hell of a shock.

Some thoughts, in The Atlantic. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

This is my town. A rural red area in the The Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This is America now.

The global economy is about to be fucked up in ways that will have economists and historians studying the aftermath for generations to come. People have no idea. Those with savings and equities are most at risk.

Smart Democrat: “Quite literally voters tell us what they want and what they need. Dems’ problem is that we tell them they are wrong. When someone says prices are too high, answer can’t be ‘You don’t understand, this is best economy ever!’” And that’s not candidate specific.

It's worth noting the civic grace shown by Biden/Harris in accepting an election loss. No claims of voter fraud. No conspiracy theories. No rage or incitement to violent. The peaceful transfer of power will go forward. It's such a welcome/civilized contrast with Trump/MAGA world.

Octavia Butler’s novel PARABLE OF THE SOWER was published in 1993. The President whose win led to so much…destruction was named “Christopher Donner” (yes, DONNER) and his slogan was “Make America Great Again”. This novel need to stay a cautionary tale. Octavia knew.

Manu Raju It's only a matter of time before Susie Wiles is fired by Trump. Start the clock.

Maybe the one Republican not happy to see Susie Wiles named Trump's chief of staff is Ron DeSantis. Wiles ran his first governor campaign, he fired her, then she jumped to Trump and orchestrated a brutal (successful) campaign to take DeSantis down. politico.com/news/magazine/…

I want to hear Rick Wilson's take on this

From Ipsos last month. People who answered factual questions about inflation, crime, and immigration incorrectly were "more likely to opt for Trump," while those who answered correctly preferred Harris. Disinformation and lack of basic education and knowledge are destroying us.

House Democrats continue to defy political gravity and still have a path to flipping the House. There are many votes left to be counted across multiple congressional districts in states such as CA, OR and AZ. Every valid vote must be counted.

I know a lot of Floridians who committed no crimes but were deported under Trump. Most had been here for over a decade, had jobs, owned small businesses, were married, had children born here, coached and were trying to obtain citizenship. Some of them even voted for Trump. They

Don’t trust any Democrat who would throw our trans family under the bus. It is weak and cowardly to do so, when they should be standing with all people against MAGA fascism. Without exception. To the trans community I say know this: I will always have your backs.

I’ve seen many of you over there already, but with over 15 million users and counting(over 1 million in the last week alone) Bluesky has become a real hive of activity without a whole heap of bots, mouth-breathers, ads and “for you” BS.

While you're watching these fires grow across LA, understand that incarcerated people make up 30% of the California's on-the-ground wildfire crews
