If Cracker Barrel sets them off, imagine how they’ll react when they hear I went woke in the New Testament — turning the other cheek, feeding the poor, all that radical stuff.
It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines. The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives. Period.
I’m so sorry these good people in uniform are being “used” in this way. Is it possible the intent of this decision was to put our fine soldiers into an embarrassing position?
Is Trump in town?

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet. The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year. Something has gone terribly wrong.

Absolutely. It has been a long time since I read any of the books by Charles de Lint that featured her, but her character was so fully developed that I could practically see her artwork…which often conveyed images of fairy…because she could see them. Wonderful books.
It looks like what I can imagine one of Jilly Coppercorn’s paintings would have looked like.

So proud of my adopted state.
For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

When the media points out Trump’s “potential conflicts of interest,” as it has in recent days when describing Trump’s growing crypto enterprise, it doesn’t come close to telling the public what’s really going on. The correct word is corruption. robertreich.substack.com/p/dont-call-...
Trump is trying to stifle free speech. He's attacking the press. He's kidnapping U.S. residents and sending them to foreign prisons without due process. When asked if he would uphold the Constitution, he says "I don't know." If this isn't dictatorship, I don't know what is.
Lo, the rich man telleth the poor, “Pull thyself up by thy bootstraps.” But verily, he weareth golden sandals, woven by the labor of those he scorns. And when asked to lift a finger, he lifteth only his middle one. The louder they preach merit, the deeper they drown in inherited spoils.

Isn't it terrifying that we're already at the point in this fascist story where we lose our privacy & 1st Amendment rights because "il Douche" is a thin-skinned autocrat that refuses to endure criticism? Did you always know that Republicans would be goose-stepping along with him & embrace fascism?
Workers who track data on car crashes, drownings, traumatic brain injury, falls in the elderly, and other perils lost their jobs. Advocates worry life-saving work will stop.

Guess we all know exactly where we stand now
The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships. The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches? Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%. See the problem?
#GVerse via @warren.senate.gov "I'm calling for an investigation into whether Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption."

I grew up in a very Italian catholic family. Pretty much everyone, even the men, wore a cross or medal with a saint, but we always wore them underneath our blouses and shirts. Seems like the ones who need to flash their crucifixes so everyone can see, are the most vile and least christian of all.
I can understand your reasoning
WARNER: Can you explain how it helps natl security or our trade balance - I loved your fancy Greek formula which was bad math on steroids - how with a trade surplus Australia got hit with a 10% tariff as well? GREER: Australia has the lowest rate available WARNER: We have a trade surplus!
I think it is just possible this time around enough people will have opened their eyes and will SEE the evidence before them. At least that is my hope and prayer is true, for the good of our country. For the good of the world. We as a country must find a way to be as good as our ideals.
NEW: The Trump Admin has been "covertly" withholding FEMA funds from Democratic states, seemingly as retaliation for sanctuary laws, a judge ruled. Hawaii is missing $6 million for widlfire aid. Oregon is waiting on $129 million for disaster prevention.
We are the humans who must stand up.

These are the #lies they tell you. The lies they tell themselves. The only way they can “be somebody” is by destroying others. Any “underempowered group” will do. Don’t fall for the lie. Stand up, speak truth to power, fight back. #Racism, #hate, & #misogyny can never win.
That is exactly true.
