When the wreckage and dust of what these people are doing to our country has settled and the people have finally had enough to throw these jackals out of office, we will never forget the people who enabled it, despite their protestations they weren’t willing accomplices. Never.

Posted minutes after the Commander of the ISS said Musk lied about the stranded astronauts in his Fox interview with Trump.

My mother, Janet Doub Erickson, was born into a pioneering western Maryland farming family in 1924. As a child she heard her grandmother tell of destruction the Confederates did to the family farm during the Civil War. This is one of her oldest drawings, of Reeder's Store in Boonsboro in 1940.

It appears our Manchurian Candidate President is giving Putin exactly what he wants in exchange for the two terms in the White House Trump got through colluding with Russia. Eternal shame on America, if this is the deal. Eternal shame on all Trump supporters.

Mitchell Jamieson's memory should haunt us. After painting "An Incident of American Life," Jamieson became a celebrated U.S. combat artist, then NASA's official painter. Trusted by the Pentagon to record the Vietnam War, he drew the horrors he saw, returned his medals in protest, and killed himself.

"This broad caricature is grotesquely hyperbolic even when it touches on real problems. But, perhaps most insidiously, Vance coupled it with a contemptuous dismissal of the threat from Russia." www.thebulwark.com/p/jd-vance-f...

Семестар који сам провео у Првој београдској гимназији 1979 - 1980. био је почетак мог политичког образовања. Ја сам лево на овој фотографији. Мој друг Боран је десно. Била је великодушна од школе што је младом калифорнијцу попут мене дозволила да се самостално упише и учи. #beograd #prvabeogradska

Well, this is the GOP strategy in a nutshell: don't record problems. If we finally get out of this Trump nightmare, in the future the GOP will use this selective approach to argue how great things were under Trump, "if you don't count Black women," for example.

The vicious cycle of American political life: reactionary lock-holds on poor states keep their populations in deprivation and ignorance to maintain their lockhold. Trump's GOP's obsession with killing the Dept. of Education is partly about spreading deprivation and ignorance to Blue States.
