Why would anyone trust helping the US ever again? Also interesting that this story is not posted by NPR in their feed.

Rescuing children from the public school system, "ideological indoctrination facilities." That's the movement in Vermont. Active shooter drills to teach children to fear guns and to make them future anti-gun voters. Big Bang is a fantasy. Starting around minute 40. www.youtube.com/live/4dd2IoS...

It's a poll tax on women to deter them from voting. It's clear.

Is there ANY good news today At All?

Who will be the first US system deported on a political speech issue?

The headline about how the economic mess "could work" grabbed me. Then I read about the upheaval of the 80s, and how the "world shaping" led to a reordering of the world economy. It is an article one might expect from someone focused on macroeconomics. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This country has become a very depressing place to live.

What's the plan to protect the judiciary and judicial independence? Inquiring minds want to know.

News flash: Those already retired don’t want to hear ‘wait out the market’ -‘stay for the long run.’ We are already withdrawing funds. What are we supposed to live on while we wait it out? How long?

How can the Underground Railroad be described without mentioning slavery? What do we call this? Historical negationism. Revisionism. Retrospective falsification. Backwards manipulation. Retroactive distortion. (Power Thesaurus helped me express my absolute disgust).
