You’ve Got To Be Carefully Taught
from South Pacific

You've got to be taught
To hate and fear,
You've got to be taught
From year to year,
It's got to be drummed
In your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught.

In line to become U.S. citizens, they were asked what country they’re from. If they were from certain countries, they were pulled out of line. Just horrible. The very antithesis of what America is. Every Republican should lose in 2026 bcuz of this. Every single one.👇 www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

On this day in 1932, German physicist Albert Einstein was granted a visa to enter the United States. He became an outspoken civil-rights advocate and a sharp critic of McCarthyism. All this to say, who knows if Donald Trump would have allowed him into the country…

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

There’s no telling how many similar stories are not being told for fear of retaliation.

By now, everyone should realize Trump is not going after violent criminals or the worst of the worst—he is terrorizing everyone, including U.S. citizens, and their loved ones.

What we are watching - as U.S. citizens are dragged out of cars and illegal war is waged in the Caribbean - is the corruption of the most sacred power we give the President - the power of violence.

We are no longer a democracy if the regime can use violence without restraint.

Dear Sen. Cassidy,

You chose party over lives.
You violated the Hippocratic oath.
And your Senate oath.
You looked RFK Jr. in his insane eyes & said yes to the wholesale destruction of our vaccine system.

You should resign.

That’s how profound your failure is.

p.s. Fuck you for being weak. #GOP

Trump threatened ICE raids at the World Cup. I wonder if the silly "FIFA Peace Prize" was to buy him off so he wouldn't interfere. Both FIFA & Trump are so corruptly transactional, it would work that way. Or course, money may have changed hands, too.

All the renewable energy projects Trump cancelled would be be bringing energy prices down over the next few years, but instead we'll all pay more to keep polluting the planet. And who will benefit? Evil forces like Exxon-Mobile, Russia and the Saudis.
Suozzi: Prices are up. Why? Because of the tariffs. Prices are going up in health insurance because of the cancellation of the premium tax credits. Prices are going up in energy because there’s new demand for energy at the same time they cut supply.

I found this brief & poignant explainer very important-among others. Think relatively young Nick Fuentes, Politico YoungGOP chats (and then some!)
Suffice it to say that there is a dire need to educate younger folks that may even be first time voters.

Laurence Rees warns in his 2025 book ‘The Nazi Mind’ that Hitler & his goons saw ‘investment in youth’ (corrupting youth, rather) as a crucial element ‘to finally bend the future in the tyrant’s favor’.

In Chicago, a Nativity scene features a zip-tied baby Jesus and Roman centurions in "ICE" vests.

Near Boston, Mary, Joseph, and Jesus are absent from a Nativity scene, replaced with a sign reading "ICE was here."

It's all part of growing religious blowback to ICE. religionnews.com/2025/12/05/i...

Childhood vaccination rates were falling before Trump took office.

But RFK Jr.'s latest attacks on vaccines will make new outbreaks of old diseases even more deadly.

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We do not want to go back to that era.
