TheVoiceOfJoyce Last week the Republican appointees on the Supreme Court gutted Section 2 of the voting rights act and started a flurry of redistricting to prevent low income minorities and women from Voting. Once again, the Southern States will require help with Voter Registration and voting. Once again, we will make voting our priority. In 2026 or 2027, when automatic registration of 18 yr olds in the Army occurs, we will insist on automatic registration of voters, too! We can do it! Be angry a grave injustice has been done and mobilize to get out every vote. Living well, is the best revenge and that’s our goal!

Robert Reich knew Mickey, one of 3 young men, who went to Mississippi to register the Black population and never returned. Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act was overturned and there’s a GOP state race to eliminate minority voting rights. … More TheVoiceOfJoyce Last week the Republican appointees on the Supreme Court gutted Section 2 of the voting rights act and started a flurry of redistricting to prevent low income minorities and women from Voting.

TheVoiceOfJoyce It’s bad enough Trump can’t control his impulses and takes to Truth Social for his anxiety release, it’s worse that our Foreign Policy is dictated by Putin. Putin is no friend of America and no friend of NATO. We’ve got a thin skinned President who has enemies and the ability to Prosecute them. He’s spending the people’s money on every fantasy he has. Where are the Republican legislators saying NO? Enough is enough! From now on, “We the People “ have another vision for our Country. We want Washington to remain how it was. We want to lower the cost of living and want the War to end. We want Congress to intervene on NATO and establish WAR GOALS. We want infrastructure jobs, clean inexpensive energy, return of our healthcare and quality education for our kids. We also want the air in Utah and Arizona to be cleaned up, before their toxicity spreads to other states and makes everyone sick. We’re opening our eyes and we see the truth about this self centered administration and demand the changes that improves our lives.

Trump’s bizarre impulses were displayed once again on Truth Social, along with his screed on enemies and his personal attempt to redesign Washington DC! Enough, it’s time for a counter narrative and “What we the People want.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Couldn’t resist another article on Tennessee. The Legislature is closed and reporters will comment on Bills passed. Oddly, buried with the music there’s a mention of Memphis, the site of a need for the 14 th Amendment, folks suffered there and now they’ll lose their one Democratic Congressman? It’s not right. Are we going backwards in time? One positive, There are good intentions to subsidize Teachers, nurses and police with $20 million for housing? It may be a start? The future is not bright for employees. Listen to the podcasts.

The music is great in Nashville and they used AI. You can Listen to their results. People are no longer better off. Starbucks & the Ellison’s are moving there with employee pay cuts. Evidently, teachers, nurses and police need housing subsidies. The others may need them , too! Nashville may no longer be affordable?

TheVoiceOfJoyce With the completion of the Warner Brothers, Discovery merger, the Ellison’s have, CBS, CNN, HBO, Comedy Central and TikTok. The result, wealth and media is concentrated in too few Oligarchs and the results are not good for US. When I asked to boost my Videos on TikTok, not only was I told I don’t qualify, because my content is political, the algorithm suppressed my views? I appealed and finally a few hundred are viewing my content daily. Is it still suppressed? Not sure. The consequences of going against the Ellison’s, is you’ll lose viewership in America. They have too much power and control over our Speech and News. We can stop them, not with Trump President or the Republican’s in Congress. That’s why we need 100% turnout for the midterm elections. We the People must take back control of our government, Rights and economy! We can do it!

The Ellison’s now own CBS, CNN, Comedy Central, TikTok. Their power to censor our speech and news is enormous. Worse, there will be layoffs. Our only recourse is Voting and taking back our Government & Democracy.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Trump’s mood reflects his failing poll numbers and he’s lashing back at us with the help of a partisan Supreme Court. They gutted the Voting Rights Act, saying there’s no need, minorities are represented? The Republican’s immediately pursued gerrymandering their maps to exclude minority candidates, even if voting had started. Clearly Racial discrimination resides in the heart and soul of Republicans! The public will speak and the Public has spoken on several issues: we don’t want the War in Iran, no Arch, No Trump signing money, no tearing down of the East Wing and more affordability! Is Trump going to ignore the will of the People, like most despots or do we unite and reclaim our Democracy?

The American People have spoken and we’re united against Trump’s policies and trashing of our Economy. We don’t want a war with Iran and we don’t want a government without checks and balances.

TheVoiceOfJoyce What do you think, is Jeff Bezos the Worst Robber Baron of them all? Conspicuous consumption, high prices for items purchased and a total disregard for Labor. People have died at Amazon warehouses and other workers are forced to work and ignore a fellow co worker? Cruel, inhumane and a Trump sycophant, I’ve cancelled my subscription to the Washington Post, too. After 300 of their best journalists were laid off. Now, I’ve learned most of these Billionaires follow an Economist, Nordhous, who says, it doesn’t matter if the Climate continues to get hotter with Fossil Fuel use and millions die. The Billionaires support Trump and EPA’s wacky policies for short term gains. I guess they think, they’ll be off earth or holed up in Trump’s bunker, while the rest of us perish? We are living in interesting times!

Is Jeff Bezos the worst Robber Baron. He’s raising prices while Americans are being laid off. He fires workers, if they want to unionize and employees die on the job and aren’t removed from their site till convenient? All these incidents and no punishment because he gives big bucks to Trump. There are no laws for Trump’s cronies.

TheVoiceOfJoyce As we worry about pollution, poor health care, higher prices at the pump, Republicans in Congress are making deals to destroy a Minnesota National park to a Chilean group for sulfuric acid. The park brings in $1.1 Billion and provides 17,000 jobs. Minnesota is against the sale. Republicans want to grab a deal and hurt Minnesota. They’re forgetting we’re the United States and you’re shutting all of us out of this decision process. The Republicans have also illegally impounded money slated for all States? Why? So they can punish their enemies. With their egregious policies, 10million + losing healthcare, we’re all enemies. Come November, no matter what’s required, Vote against Trump’s Republican Lawmakers and vote their brand of personal capitalism out of office. Our Democracy wasn’t perfect and we can do better and we will!

Minnesota getting a sulfuric acid mine it doesn’t want? NY state being denied $73.5 Billion because the GOP CONGRESS can? Trump can build is military installation under the East Wing, not the Ballroom and Trump’s targeting of enemies continues?

TheVoiceOfJoyce The latest in USA Facts And they’re troubling. Congressional Legislators don’t intend to agree with each other, the majority of Congressional sessions lasted 5 min. Meanwhile, our kids are having more mental health problems, they’re frequently living with their parents and can’t find good paying jobs. Affordability is problematic and will become worse with War. War is not only inflationary, it is increasing our weather extremes and pollution. The positives: Artemis ll and the IRS spends 0.36 to collect $100.00. Taxation of the wealthy can lead to a more equitable society.
