This seems like an important book to read right now.
NEW: Arkansas announced plans for a mega prison in a rural town. Since then, locals are organizing to stop it. At first they opposed it in their own town. But some now say they've taken a more critical look at how we incarcerate in the country. make time for this new feature, you won't regret it

Eloquently said.
Projecting with an aim to kill.
The way the mainstream media is treating Charlie Kirkโs bigotry is the way a highly dysfunctional family treats racist crazy pedo grandpa. โOh come on, thatโs just how he is, he doesnโt mean It, that doesnโt count.โ

Dr. Bernice King, daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was in Utah Wednesday for the opening of Redemption Bank. While there, she shared her thoughts on the shooting death of Charlie Kirk. (Video by Rick Egan)
Itโs a bad year for a good soybean harvest as tariffs decimate export orders, and farmers from Minnesota were in the nationโs Capitol this week to plead for a bailout.
On how Charlie Kirk passed off rhetorical propaganda as "debate" which, of course, today's media pretended to be completely oblivious to.
The tug-of-war about what Kirk would have wanted is ongoing. In life, Kirk thought this episode was funny and changed his avatar to Cartman. But the Ellison-owned Paramount is now deleting it.
A man who ardently supported the NRA's stances, was known for anti-Semitic and transphobic statements/opinions was also a husband and a father. May he rest in peace.
"How [Bashar al-Assad] used a global child welfare charity to 'disappear' children" "Instead of re-homing the children...the youngsters were held in orphanages...used as political pawns...children were falsely recorded as orphans, or their identities changed..." www.bbc.com/news/article...

Did anyone review his speech? Oh, wait. He fired them. Pete Hegseth memorializes Charlie Kirk at the Pentagon Memorial Ceremony for 911. In the meantime, C-SPAN overrides Trump's memorial to Kirk and other ramblings to broadcast the reading of WTC victims, The Senate and The House. #WeRemember911
I know, I know! *raising hand and waving it* Give me a minute. *holds up finger* Sounds familiar. *taps forehead* It'll come to me... *winces and continues tapping forehead* I've heard this a million times! *scrunches face* I'd recognize that in a heart beat....
The news is confirmed; Charlie Kirk has died. Violence has no place in politics. My heart goes out to Charlie's wife and family. May his memory be a blessing.
Patients pants, folks. Unfortunately, we've been thru this too many times. Early social media "news reports" are usually wrong. Zip 'em and wait.
I DISSENT. We live in a country where 6 members of the highest court of the land decided itโs ok to profile immigrants based on the color of their skin or the language they speak. I DISSENT. #IDISSENT
The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

If the GOP takes away the "roll call vote", does that mean they silence those in their own party opposed the president's nomination? Is it me, or is Miss Katie, just like all raised under the Trump 1st term, pretty much deprived of a formal education of Civics in a democratic America?
19 million kids are left behind in Trump's Child Tax Credit plan, and the GOP CTC is worth less than it was in 2017. My American Family Act includes all children and significantly increases the value of the CTC. #Trumpflation

Really CNN? 2 Republicans telling Democrats how to run campaigns and what's inappropriate, adding "Trump's not removed from the conversation" and then ignoring his behavior/comments/threats but zeroing in on the one time comment of Gov. Walz? And no pushback from Kate. Fox isn't threatened.

Trump is working hard to repeat history. He's surrounded himself with the best of the worst and his Projet2025 manifesto, as his own Mein Kampf clutched to his breast nightly to guide him, to get it right this time. Miller is one of those "best".
Sure hope @lastword.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com watched this this little, um, press conference where once again Trump rambled on and on. Would love to hear his breakdown on it.
Trump's antics and the press misses this: Russian Federation blaming drone strikes in Kyiv on "Ukrainian Nazis" among other wild and crazy claims. They're making Russia the victim of Russia's "provoked" attacks on Ukraine. They're also digging up the old Zelenskyy debunked money laundering scheme.
Joni Ernst was right. But Trump is going to make sure it happens sooner.

My grandfather is 101. He was a doctor and researcher for generations. In his life heโs seen near-miracles of medical science come to fruition. To this day he reads Nature and Science and keeps up with the latest discoveries. He tells me he is deeply worried about public health.
