Trump threatening members of Congress not to sign the Epstein files discharge petition saying it would be a “hostile act” against him is definitely something an innocent person would do. And scheduling a military flyover in the middle of the survivor press conference is also totally normal behavior.

New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.

Stan Gurski-8th Grade Teacher in Roselle, NJ He would act out certain history lessons, often with costumes. Made history “come alive”, & reminded us that real people lived through these events. Got to thank him via Social Media, & told his family how much he meant to me when he passed last year.

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

In the 70s, I would just call a radio station and hum it to them. In those days, you always had a person answering the phone. If they didn’t know the answer, they would get someone else on the line to help.
