The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Because rooftop solar gives homeowners control of their own power, electric companies are fighting back against solar incentive programs -- even in Minnesota. Hopefully, Gov. Tim Walz can veto this anti-clean energy bill. @timwalzparody.bsky.social www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol...

Pope Francis was a mere human… Yet, he managed to set an example for all of humanity. Tolerance. Respect. Inclusion. Generosity. Let’s follow his lead. We can be strong change makers for the good of our nation. Rest in love, Pope Francis.

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

Instead of reigning in a lawless president, Republicans remain in lockstep behind him. Congressman Jason Smith led a delegation of six other Republicans to El Salvador to have their photos take in front of the prison that holds Abrego Garcia. Assholes. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

I can't understand how Marco Rubio can be so unsympathetic to immigrants, cruel even. His parents did not become citizens until 1975 - he was born in 1971. His beloved maternal grandfather entered the U.S. illegally, w/o a visa & was about to be deported but then was allowed to remain as a parolee.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

The Supreme Court has unanimously ruled the Trump regime must facilitate the return of a Maryland man wrongly deported to El Salvador. How lawless do your actions have to be for even Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito to rule against them?

Can we stop calling these forced removals "deportations". Deportations involves a court process that wasn't used here. These people were illegally snatched up and sent away. They were essentially kidnapped.
