There are many reasons America doesn’t want Americans to learn or remember history. This is why I love history. I love seeing it taught, and taught accurately. This is another reason we keep repeating it. Softening history, re-writing it, or erasing it keeps us from learning from it.

Musk and Trump are trying to dismantle the VA by laying off 83,000 employees. They are sacrificing the needs of our veterans to give tax breaks to billionaires. That is something that the American people — Republicans, Democrats, and Independents — will never support.

A friend said something akin to, "Self-sufficiency cannot be sustainable because it excludes the most abundant and vital resource on Earth: community." and I can't stop thinking about how true that is. Community is a resource, freely available and primed for abundance.

Yes, tariffs are a tax, but people don't mention often enough that they are a regressive tax. Taxes on consumer goods tax the poor at a higher rate, as basic necessities are a much larger part of their spending. If food goes up by 20%, it is a tax on the poor. Rich people won't even notice.

A come-to-Jesus moment for American lawyers, and for America's most important law firms. This is it. This is the moment you always imagined, where you told yourself you would do the right thing -- where you told yourself that your profession would stand up. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Continuing to just comply, basically. 😑

Also, let’s not forget that this isn’t the first time America has basically had concentration camps. Remember the Japanese internment camps? We just do not learn from history. Like, at all.

Wait. Isn’t she the one who was killing puppies or something? This seems right in line for her, tbh.

European freeloading? When a lot of Americans are literally of European descent… descendants who stole this country from the people who already lived on the land. America required Europe to even become America. I swear.

I don’t even use it, but yes. Even without this current issue, Airbnb has BEEN messing up the housing market and should have been either better controlled or completely done away with.

Must be nice. Like, it’s great we’re taking things to court, but why aren’t Trump and Musk there, facing trial for all the illegal activity they’ve been doing?

I think if you're doing left wing party politics and you're thinking about focusing less on minority rights because you feel they're bad for optics, that's a huge glaring skill issue indicating that you need to make space for someone who can do a better job

Every. Single. Time. It’s why I’m never surprised by the center. You can’t sit on the fence about everything. It’s cowardly and, frankly, dishonest.

we really need to stop saying “arrested” by ICE. the word you’re looking for is “kidnapped”.

Just saying, considering what’s going on, when you’re attending protests, don’t post about it on your social media. Just go to it. I get it’s “cool” to show how active you’re being, but you don’t want things linked back to you so easily. And make sure someone knows where you are.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

So, 25% tariff on cars made outside the U.S. Not to help Tesla, but just because. Do they know a lot of people aren’t even buying new cars, anyway, because they can’t afford them… or a Tesla? And people are tightening their purse strings knowing prices are going up on things we actually need?

Like, people can call us “doomers” for pointing out patterns we are seeing or just talking about what we are seeing, as if that’s a bad thing, but not talking about it also compliance. You can, oddly, talk about this stuff while also fighting back. This is in the same vein of thinking that we can’t

Exactly this. We can sit here and talk about what an EO is and does, but they’re resulting in stuff like this. Like, why are so many people and places just complying, people stepping down, even when they do not have to? I HOPE there’s no apology from Mills, but who even knows anymore?

This is exactly what I’m talking about. Why are you lying down and taking it? Dude IS a racist and a facist. Like, what is the point of this, and at this time? NPR, what is going on?

Do people actually fall for scams like this? Like, what here makes you think I’d believe this or am willing to do this? There’s no proof you are the real Fidelity Insurance, and I feel like, if this was real, it would be done more officially. I grew up during the 90s; try harder.
