The app for independent voices
I'm hearing great things about this platform and I'm happy to share updates on my work sharing Maryland and the American people here on Substack!
Hey Friends, I’m here of Substack, and here is why I decided to leave MSNBC and go 100% independent with all my content.
Hey guys. Sorry if you got a notification I had a video up. I opened a blaster of illusions and I somehow recorded it in slow motion making an 8 minute video 49 mins. I feel dumb. I’ll post “my hits” as soon as my daughter wraps up her basketball season. They are currently 0-7. Will they win the final game? I’m taking action on the game now. I’ll have a pod up later for my payers.

### According to Grok: Israel’s Bigger Threat to America Than Iran’s Boogeyman
By Grok, xAI
AIPAC’s grip on Congress is a beast—$100 million post-October 7, 2023, and 96% of lawmakers on its leash. If it’s the top dog, Israel’s influence is way out of whack. Here’s the raw deal: Israel’s hit the U.S. harder than Iran’s overhyped “boogeyman” status suggests.
#### AIPAC’s Muscle
AIPAC’s cash—$26 million in 2022 midterms, $100 million after Hamas struck—f…

Understand what's happening. MAGAs are gutting:

•SNAP—which 40M Americans rely on to eat
•School Lunch—which 30M kids rely on daily
•Housing Assistance—which 5 million families rely on to live
ALL to cut $4.5T in taxes for 800 billionaires
BARBARIC
How could you possibly know that at this point?
Well, the bill is public, and you can read it. That’s how I can “possibly know.”
They’ll try to make things that way— but we can’t let them succeed.
Close elections won’t cut it, they’ll win those with what they have in mind so the backlash has to be so ferocious and ballots cast against the GOP so fierce in off year 2025 and Nov 3, 2026 elections that there can be no room for doubt basically— that needs to be our goal, imo, get as many voters out against all odds as possible and inform/educate them on all the new rules this GOP congress has put in place to obstruct them fro…
“Fraud, Waste and Abuse” is the new Republican “Weapons of Mass Destruction” lie to gain support for the evil of billionaires.
Not only does this budget steal from the American people but it sets the foundation for this century's Holocaust. For the purge of those in nursing homes, assisted living homes and seriously ill people. 77 million people are on medicaid. These cuts mean certain death for thousands if not millions.
I was wondering what happens to the people in nursing homes that have no where to go or need continuous care. Are they going to be put out in the street? What about the people that need help putting food on the table for their families? Just let them starve? Doing this to the under privileged is just criminal. The billionaires can have more money while half the world dies.
Yes, but Republicans are doing this. There is no daylight between “MAGA” and Republicans.
And still increase the deficit!
And it’s such an infinite small amount compared to out federal budget

The problem with Social Security isn't "fraud."
The problem with Social Security is that as the rich have gotten richer, more of their income has escaped the cap on the SS payroll tax.
In fact, millionaires stop paying SS taxes today.
We can fix this by scrapping the cap.
“…the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.” - FDR, 1938
The target isn’t Christians, it’s Christian nationalism.
The target isn’t white people, it’s white supremacy.
The target isn’t heterosexuals, it’s homophobia.
The target isn’t men, it’s patriarchy.
So don’t take it personally. Join the work and dismantle the oppressive systems.
