Congrats Canada! Still #1

Now here’s a way to cut taxes-just let people and businesses cheat, and fire the tax collectors

We need more of THIS www.huffpost.com/entry/chris-...

If only someone (actually all of us) had warned everyone.

“Republican senators find themselves in an unusual position these days: begging Trump officials to release funds they themselves appropriated.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

"One of the most concerning things that we discovered in this process is that the Hanceville Police Department's evidence room was not secured,"

TRUMP: *machine-guns crowd of pedestrians at Fifth Ave* NYT: President's most daring argument for population control brings new scrutiny.

The last 8 years have seen the United States implement some of the most extreme right wing policies from abortion bans to border walls and migrant detention to a flagrantly, extreme right wing SCOTUS. If you think “leftists” have made the country “woke” then you are stupid and need new media sources

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

A deportation flight leaving the U.S. Thursday carrying 135 mostly Asian undocumented migrants is expected to land in Costa Rica in the afternoon. Almost half of the migrants will be children.

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

This is bait, and it’s particularly ridiculous bait. I’m a progressive trans woman and wear a cross around my neck every day because I love Christ. My faith is the most important thing to me. But people like Karoline Leavitt view Christ as vehicle for brand and image. It’s sad.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Here’s an example of the fraud and waste Trump and Musk are creating

If you’re wondering who the Elon Musk staffers are, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has several Musk staffers, including Amanda Scales, Brian Bjelde, Stephen Duarte, Christina Hanna, and Bryanne-Michelle Mlodzianowski.

Last night @60minutes.bsky.social opened an otherwise superb segment on Germany’s approach to online hate speech by saying “in the U.S., most of what’s said on online [social media] platforms is protected by the First Amendment.” No.The First Amend protects us against GOVT infringements on speech.

Thus far DOGE operatives have have full read access to govt payments system at Treasury (yr tax refunds, bank info, etc); full access to all CMS data (anything tied to your Medicare or Medicaid); and now they are seeking full access to everyone's tax returns. Feeling safer?
