Trump promised a bailout for farmers reeling from the effects of his tariffs and the high costs for fertilizer and other equipment.
But the money hasn’t come, and time is running out before farmers have to make crucial decisions about next year’s planting season.

Trump promised farmers a bailout. Time is running out.

The Republicans have a problem with DEI, Muslims, trans people, Antifa, science, frogs, vaccines… Seems like the only thing they don’t have a problem with is pedophiles.

go.bsky.app/AmCE16o Communication is the Democrats issue. Some have lifted us up. Jasmine Crockett is one of the best. AOC too. It takes all of us to fight back. Remember we helped create the billionaires. Boycott them. Our collective power is enormous. Follow and do what you can.

The No Kings demonstrations haven’t even happened yet and this administration has already declared them to be hostile, violent and an act of terrorism. They’re setting the stage to attack peaceful demonstrators, but we will not be discouraged.
