But, you get the point.
Why is the news media not running film of MTG, Lauren B, and other disruptive GOP behaviors when these fools were never arrested????!!!!

I’m wondering if the courts will support a tax-funded Islamic school.
Every single one of my ancestors fled Catholic oppression: Huguenots, Lutherans, Quakers, and later Baptists and Methodists. They also fought against threats from Spanish Catholic Florida, which had missions along the Southern coasts. It looks as if religious wars may again be on the horizon.
The French Revolution resulted from the rich (nobles and clergy) paying no taxes but with the poor paying taxes for every morsel of food and land use—even for the death of a family member. “Let them eat cake” is the mantra of the Trump hoodlums.

#Floridavacationers Returning vacationers report that Gulf Coast Beaches that have become a MAGA haven. It’s a good time to boycott.
So. Would it be fiction to ask how many of the MAGA crowd are descendants of Nazis who escaped to America after the war? Like Musk, descendant of S. African Nazis?

Who thinks he is master of the universe. When will we ever learn? When will we ever learn?
But our money was being cached by the government, Mo, not losing during the recessions. You don’t always have to win an argument—and you can bark after you have also worked and contributed to society for 50+ years.
I was at the first and third DC Women’s March with two other 70+ women. We cannot stand again in one place for 6 hours! The third March was in the snow. It is time for younger people to take up the torch. We also marched in the 60’s and 70’s.
They’re just going to create chaos so that checks are delayed or not sent.
Again, you were talking about survivor benefits, not a senior’s benefits.
I believe this is a link to SURVIVOR benefits. I worked for 50+ years and paid into SS. If I had invested , etc, instead or if I received the initial investment plus compound interest, my income would still be solvent. The government uses the money for interest & investment. Check out the statistics
Can’t the denial of ss checks be considered theft? The money plus compounded interest for each person was contributed over a lifetime. The money belongs to the contributors.

Rachel, I LOVE LOVE LOVE you!!
Add a seat onboard for MYG!
Elon had better get on one of his rockets and get the hell out of DOGE and take Johnson with him. Hopefully both will explode with it into a zillion pieces. I imagine the FFA will welcome a few delays.
Never forget that the Bavarian slang term for Nazi means “bumpkin” or “simpleton.
Good. From now on, federal workers must educate the American people about the significance of their jobs for effective government function.
Rubio is a milksop.
Trump exists in a bubble of flattery and fake news. He does not receive or believe the truth.
They instigated the attack.
And he should be no more underestimated than Hitler, Stalin, or Putin.

An American President and VP just shouted down a world hero who has stood as a fortress for three years against tyranny. I haven’t always agreed with WH admins and their diplomatic meetings and negotiations, but what happened today with Zelensky is farce not diplomacy.
Traitor and shape-shifter, the lying JD Vance sat in the Oval Office with his belly hanging out and shouted down Zelensky, a modern hero who has defended his country against Putin for three years.
If you write off the country as a whole—the American people who are increasingly against Trump— then you are admitting defeat for world order, for world peace. We must stand in solidarity against this 🍊administration. JD is a lying traitor as well.
The true life of a teacher. I support both.
2/2 helpless in the face of government confusion, government weakness, -- weakness through lack of leadership in government. Finally, in desperation, they chose to sacrifice liberty in the hope of getting something to eat."

Roosevelt’s Fireside chat of April 14, 1938, warns of how people lost democracy over desire for prosperity [or lower egg prices].
This is the GOP Rep who is divorced from his third wife for PDA on the floor of the Legislature with the female GOP Rep from Texas. A fine example of morality.
And how many British men died in WWII and subsequent wars?
This county court ruling is a direct violation of NYT v. Sullivan, which is the 1964 SCOTUS case that draws on the First Amendment to make the foundational protection for a free press in the modern United States.
A Burnise that is in the family of one of my children devoured a baked chicken bones and all off of the island!
Oh, he means like the Native children when they were removed from their parents? We know how that turned out.
You can set your bank account so that no one can access it without your permission. Remember when people in Texas allowed the electric company to automatically withdraw guns and had thousands taken out for extreme charges? Always send your own payments. I’m about to stop using PayPal.
Now that they have your bank account records, they can empty your account and claim you owe it in taxes. A 2025 Handmaid’s Tale. I’ve frozen my account and locked my information on the three fraud accounting agencies. Of course, all of those may already be compromised as well.

Absolutely. We can out propaganda the propagandists.
At least we will hear the truth since it was in canada
The Murdock family is divided and the court upheld that when Murdock dies, his trust will be divided evenly between the four children. The daughters and younger sons are liberals who want to change things.
You must read or listen to the original text. Then read or listen to the follow-up. I’ve been waiting for our banking system to collapse as crypto takes over. I had a 2nd great grandmother who worked in a mill during the “war” & paid off the land with Confederate money. A bit of irony with a kick..
I had almost the identical incident when my blood pressure dropped. I only knew what was happening because the bp had been low during a doctor’s appointment a few days prior. Getting on thyroid meds had regulated my bp so that I had to come off blood pressure meds.
Well, a Delta jet just went belly up in Canada.
Someone on threads is posting videos of protests around the country, but says META is consistently removing the posts. 50501
The parks will have to close. Then they will drain the natural resources.
I just realized that Musk and Trump are firing provisional workers not only because of salary cuts, but also because these people will not have pensions.
Believe it or not, we had the same issues in Georgia b in the 90’s and in Fairfax County, Virginia, in the first half of the 2000’s. We also were limited to the number of copies we could make—had codes to identify each of us. English teachers hit up the math teachers, who never used as much paper.
2/2 I include wives like those who are in buildings with husbands who are unlawfully raiding federal computers. They are as culpable as wives living with their husbands in proximity to concentration camps.
I hope that all will be charged who are complicit to the elimination of US funds not only to USAID, but also to all agencies that provide health & economic protection to the American people, directly & indirectly. They should be held responsible for anyone who dies or otherwise suffers ill effects.
2/2 to stop him? Even if they take him out, are others now out of their control?
Now 2 ebola cases in NYC: remember, Trump screwed the handling of the first ship returning to the U.S. with Covid cases. None of the first responders had hazmat protection. Trump will continue to put Americans at risk. When will GOP congressmen DO SOMETHING. . . 1/2
Can the press play a game and counter by printing both names: . . . Formerly known as The Gulf of Mexico but now renamed at President Trump’s preference [whimsey] to . . .
We must also highlight the successful cooperation between America and its allies. I realize that we need expertise and funding for such a project, but I believe we can enlist individuals & corporations to help. Correction: what the values of American democracy look like in action . . .
the GOP’s attempt to erase the history of all heroes including the WIRES, WASPS,WRENS, Tuskegee Airmen, & other minority everyday men & women heroes not only of WWII, but also in other conflicts & those who have served in peacetime. We must highlight them in video clips & film for modern consumers.
See my response about how to use GOP tactics against its propaganda.
re-establish the concepts & spirit of a strong America & its democracy. We must create an Uncle Sam metaphor for these new generations while also we make the men & women of the past relevant to them as much as any modern hero. “Masters of the Air” paired the original with the current. We can counter
We must take up ethical elements of persuasion to present the truths, to counter the hate that the GOP spews constantly. We must use their tactics against them. We must enlist the best & brightest in the field of persuasion & marketing & also enlist influencers to build/
Finish reading the thread. We must educate them.
Sorry for the long and mis-numbered messages!
8/8 of the contributions and organized efforts of the everyday American like the Navajo code breakers, the Red Cross and its workers, the factory workers who built the tanks, guns, and planes. It is time to inspire new generations but by USING THE MEDIA they consume.
7/7 democracy looks like in action and what we owe to the brave men and women who fought to preserve it. Many films also highlight these efforts like the recent film about Lee Miller & the series “Masters of War.” I think, however, that journalism must also highlight & remind of the contributions
6/7 watched interviews of men who stormed the beaches. Actual video of that battle and many others are available. I think clips from actual events and clips of the interviews with and testimonies of participants should be a staple in the news DAILY. Americans need reminding of what the values of
3/5 organization before and during the battle. I had no idea about the vital administrative organization, participation, and support for the war effort of these two groups. I have read previously about the building of the army air support and about both men and women pilots, and have read and
their own experience, historical battle plans, logistics, gun locations and coordinates, etc, contributed to reports and actual practice for months before their guidance in the actual battle. The actions of the Wrens in command center during the battle is fascinating as is the Red Cross
3/4 I never knew, for example, how the British Wrens who had grown up with summer homes on the beaches in Normandy helped create maps from their personal knowledge, from aerial photographs, and from intelligence; how officers who directed gunners from destroyers created weather and ocean data,
2/39 I have been able to bounce back and forth between the months’ long coordinated plans from members of the UK & US in the command center in Britain and the members of the support group of ships, planes, and assault vehicles and troops on the French Coast.
I think Americans need to be reminded about the specific events, cost in lives, but also the bravery, intelligence, expertise, values, unity, and spirit of the men and women who served and fought for democracy in WWII. I’ve been reading and watching videos about the D-Day invasion: 1/2
Elon Musk talks incoherently. What the hell?
McCormick is disgusting. Lacking in integrity. Don’t count on him.
Just curious who has an inside ear to report such grandiose savings. Musk is crazy, and his little boy stooges are thieves and racists who now have access to our SS#'s anid bank info. Perhaps this is Trump's personal treasure chest for his multiple million $ trip to the Super Bowl.
Who has seen this despicable site???? A Trumper on FB posted it and believes it is valid. www.doge-tracker.com
I’ve been reading again about Parisians who capitulated to German pressure or collaborated for their own enrichment just like current GOP or like members of Trump’s grim band at the White House. We must end this parallel to 1940’s France.
2/2 We can download our history but not delete it from the apps. Deactivation of one app does not deactivate the others. Big Brother, uh hum, META is watching.
After researching, I discovered that META controls Google, Facebook, Messenger, IG, Threads, and WhatsApp, in addition to various business resources. Deleting one is rather a moot point; changing settings in all, while exhausting, is about all we can control. 1/2
Retail outlets will jack the cost of everything to deal with the cancellation of the penny. For Americans who use cash to pay for everything, they will suffer a loss of from .01 to .04 multiplied by thousands of transactions a year. A roundup from $9.01 to 9.05 for 2,000 transactions is $80.
If you are worried about currency safety ( as in the directive to the treasury to stop making Pennies, you are directly affected if you use cash to pay anything. Thus began the Handmaid’s Tale with the cancellation of women’s cards for paying. Think about how $19.36 cash transactions can work.
If you have a social security number, are a woman, have children or grandchildren, have health conditions, are a consumer and need protection against fraud, are concerned about national security, etc, you are directly affected.
They are stanewalling and blocking.
Georgia attorney general’s office is essentially blocked. Phone lines are supposedly jammed; no voice mail is available ; rules for sending forms do not include anything in terms of federal Interference for Georgians.
Here’s some advice for those outside our coalition, as the administration is actively leading a witch hunt for resistance members. If you’re a government employee, avoid using government devices to coordinate. Do not use standard messaging apps on Android or Apple devices.
