Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Kaine: "Last week the president signed an emergency order regarding energy. There's an energy emergency and he just put a 10% tariffs on energy from Canada? He is increasing prices at the pump at the same time he's saying there's an energy emergency. The emergency is self-created."

Fellow Washingtonians: If you see ICE activity or any marked vehicles, please report it immediately to Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network at 1-844-724-3737. Know your rights. Do not open the door. “ICE warrants” alone do not give authorities rights to enter your home or worksite. 1/2
