"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Our local paper reported on Friday that The University of Tennessee has 4 students that have had "surprise change to immigration status" and are now at risk of deportation. The Chancellor is working to help them figure out what is going on.

FUCK THIS GUY

Been thinking about this Zappa quote a lot lately.

Half of the United States has been slowly and carefully inculcated by Fox News to believe that the other half of the country is their enemy and out to ruin their lives. Once this was established, it didn't take long for those viewers to value hurting these other Americans over helping themselves.

THIS is the energy we need right now. I can't quit my job yet but my vacation days are being saved for protesting.

Hegseth & Waltz got Loomered.

A lot can happen in five months. 🇺🇸

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

How do you know you're on the right side of history? Because your side is peacefully protesting by buying Costco memberships.
