DEI is the "secret sauce" of the US & EU economies & culture: U.S. music dominates globally because of its cultural diversity, powerful media infrastructure, and constant reinvention. DEI is central to why U.S. music resonates worldwide, just as it explains the vibrancy of U.S. and EU economies.

Trump's version of ancient Socrates saying about anger, but instead referring to Trump's compulsive deviance: “Anyone can be deviant — that’s easy. But to be deviant at the right moment, in the biggest way, with the most attention, and to make everyone talk about it — that’s the art of winning.”

Unbiased research shows that DEI is a leading reason the US and EU economies outperform the rest of the world: www.vox.com/explain-it-t...

🤮 Today's Republicans are 100% recycled toxic Civil War Confederates: Historians and political theorists trace a throughline from President Andrew Johnson’s post-Civil War leniency toward Confederates, through Barry Goldwater’s 1964 conservative realignment, to today’s MAGA movement.

Industry Trade Associations = legal cover for slash & burn "naked" capitalism, made visible when policy outcomes favor profit over public welfare. Shielding individual actors who push aggressive agendas (e.g., offshoring, deregulation) while hiding behind the collective voice of a trade group.

Senator Josh Hawley, MAGA rat, tells his Missouri Red Rubes what they want to hear, then votes AGAINST their interests and they just LOVE him for it 💘 www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Mamdani's pending election is a national catalyst to reversing Trump's negative economic impacts - immigrants are in fact a key strategic strength of the US economy vs other nations. Zohran Mamdani’s NYC mayoral race is already drawing national attention and could signal broader political shifts.

Trickle-down economics is a re-puke-lican scam: Tax cuts for the wealthy added over $10 trillion in added debt since 2001. Up to 90% of the debt increase - outside of emergency spending - is from revenue losses due to these tax cuts for wealthy. Ultimately caused by apathetic voters not voting.

Hopefully 2026 elections looking good for retribution against Trump. We just need compelling progressive candidates. 🤞 www.axios.com/2025/10/25/b...

"Racism" softens & obscure what it actually is: A broad, insidious assault on ancestry, identity, and human dignity. Every person carries an ancestral thread, and to attack that thread—whether through violence, erasure, or neglect—is to strike at the very root of what makes us human.

Head-fake (cognitive narrative) now benefiting your state elected representatives: Farm out social taxing & spending to the Federal Government so that they cannot be held accountable at election time. Solution: Social taxes & spending should all occur 100% within each state = direct accountability

Idea - States can counter fiscal retribution from a newly empowered President like Trump courtesy of the Roberts SCOTUS: States collect 100% of income (and wealth) tax from individuals; cuts out the IRS where a taciturn President or Congress can then decide to deny congressionally approved funds.

Trump & MAGA are nasty pathetic modern-day Confederates, as also detailed in Heather Cox Richardson's book "How the South Won the Civil War": www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

Gender is a false narrative just like yesterday's post about race as a false narrative. We all exist in a fluid gender rainbow whether we realize it or not. There's today's AI journey on gender and quantum mechanics: This isn’t just about gender or science—it’s about radical freedom.

Race is a false narrative used to exploit one another. The notion of “race” was crafted not by nature but by history—used to divide, rank, and justify power. It’s a blunt instrument, built on appearances and assumptions, not on science or soul.

@GeorgeTakei your role in Star Trek helped launch my 50-year career as a PhD research scientist. As a 1960's kid in the remote Adirondack mountain wilderness of rural upstate NY, seeing a future where intellect and diversity thrived gave me hope. Thank you for being part of that vision. 🖖

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

Trickle-down tax breaks are a lie per AI analysis: 2025 US debt is now 122% of GDP. But it would be only 85% without the $10 trillion of debt added by the Bush & Trump tax breaks for the wealthy. So, then the GDP did not grow in proportion to these tax breaks. Republicans were & are lying traitors.

Corporate profits are the highest in human history, but they have mastered the broken wing act, always claiming hard times, and also collude with other companies to keep wages low:

Dr. Heather Cox Richardson today: "Historically, a system in which local economies support small businesses and entrepreneurs promotes a wide distribution of political power. In contrast, extractive industries support a system that concentrates wealth and power in the hands of a few individuals."💯💖

MAGA = Confederacy = tribal, authoritarian, rooted in toxic individualism. MAGA uses identity, nostalgia, and grievance to mobilize support and resist democratic norms. Recognizing these parallels is essential to countering authoritarian trends and rebuilding inclusive civic culture.

MAGA rats = Confederate rats = Exploitation & toxic individuality. See the book "How the South Won the Civil War: Oligarchy, Democracy, and the Continuing Fight for the Soul of America" By Heather Cox Richardson

Origin of confederate poison is the 1964 Barry Goldwater presidential campaign, according to Heater Cox Richardson's dissertation. Confederates fled west after losing the Civil War, then their destructive selfish exploitation ethos returned. See her book "How the Confederates Won the Civil War".

Love this newfound media savvy assertiveness!! No more chillin' on the couch like establishment democrats. Time to be blue warriors like the blue Hindu god "Lord Vishnu" ... our new party mascot? Like detonating cyclones flattening the MAGA rat-land.

That's why I'm voting for AOC in 2028, your mini-me💖🤞💯

Millions of people are living paycheck to paycheck. They're struggling with the cost of food, housing, and other basic necessities. How does Trump respond? By creating fake emergencies to distract from his failures to address very real issues impacting everyday Americans.

Our health care system is close to collapse. Not enough doctors, nurses or dentists. Costs are skyrocketing. Trump’s legislation will cause hospitals, nursing homes & community health centers to cut back services. We need a simple, universal system: Medicare for All.

Fairness is the emotional lever & trigger that Democrats need to win according to Self-Determination Theory established in 2007 to scientifically define best practices to motivate people. Until then the dumb & dumber MAGA gorillas will keep ruling The Planet of the Apes.
