Can’t reiterate enough that there are a lot of white collared professional people with a college degree that are huge Trump supporters. They blame Dems for high interest rates and think Trump will be the savior to bring them down. Have heard this many times. They don’t care about anything else.

If you want to understand why rich guys are turning back to eugenics and recreating the rhetoric and theology of slavery, it’s because they know on some level this level of wealth inequality is unjustifiable

Memphis happens to be hovering at a population of 60% African American, but our city leaders choose to allow Elon Musk to pollute our city and use our water.

It’s horrifying to think about how many people who use Google daily are being force fed an AI answer that guzzles water and power and the answer is mostly crap. Google is forcing users to waste water, power, and their brain.

The narrative framing the NYT uses in the headline against AOC is ridiculous. Biden stumbles and now AOC. Are you kidding??? Meanwhile the senile Florida man is destroying the world. Also deep in the article people say otherwise.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading. Now we’ve got mumps rolling up. Expect more. This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

I think the thing that enrages me the most about Musk is that he presents himself as some sci-fi nerd hero doing everything possible to save humanity by going to new planets. If your plan for saving humanity doesn’t include the people already on earth, you’re just a racist piece of shit.

Memphis already has an F from the American Lung Association because of our polluted air. The EPA decision will make things much worse here and our city leaders have never embraced a green agenda. Letting data centers and factories spew methane and other pollutants unregulated is dangerous.
