Quite a lot of kids will know a fair bit of science. Adults, too. Surely the problem is the tendrils of capitalism's religion reaching all corners of earth? Institutionalised Indoctrination. God save the King. In God we trust. God bless America. #GodIsUnproven #GodIsIllogical #GodIsImpossible

"The U.S. Postal Service is wildly popular with the American people and its service is essential and irreplaceable. Nobody voted for this. It is brazenly illegal, unconstitutional, and corrupt." - Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA08) bluevirginia.us/2025/02/frid...

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

A year ago this month, Trump said he would encourage Russia to attack NATO allies and "do whatever the hell they want" unless allies paid up. We thought it was so important, we ran it on the front page of the @mississippifreepress.org at a time when the New York Times and others didn't.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Seems like the Democratic candidate in 2028 will be a governor. Because they can act, whereas the Dems in Washington can't (won't) and I'm not seeing any brilliant DC strategies. It's that simple.

My younger brother just shared how cop cars just pull up to him (he take public transportation only) and tell him he fits a description no matter where he is. That is some demoralizing shit.

Trump/Hegseth foreign policy is not complicated. The goal is a global masculinist anti-woke autocratic alliance with China and Russia that serves as a global Molotov-Ribbentrop to divide the world. The US gets the Americas, Russia gets Europe and Africa, China gets Asia. That's the long-term goal.

At 4 a.m. our Republican colleagues voted against Warren/Kelly/King amendments that would have stopped further tax cuts for people making over $10 million; then $100 million; and then $500 million. No it isn’t a dream. 😴 They just did it.
