I heartily concur with these recommendations. 👍

Reporters: stop using the deferential term "detaining" when talking about ICE goons' abduction of innocent people from US streets. You proper term would indeed by "abduction", but if you want to pretend neutrality you could use "capture", which at least says nothing about the captors' motives.

Indeed, it was shameless. Shamelessness is a characteristic of narcissistic sociopathy.

Of all the previous Nobel Peace Prize laureates, I’m of the opinion that all of them didn’t pursue the distinction overtly. Rather, they pursued passionately the work of building peace, usually over years or decades, and then were bestowed the peace prize. What’s his name should take notes 📝

Fun facts: SCOTUS has twice affirmed that burning the American flag as a form of political protest is expressive conduct PROTECTED by 1A.

The two landmark decisions, Texas v. Johnson (1989) and USA v. Eichman (1990), struck down both state and federal laws criminalizing flag desecration.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs.

2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar.

3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 13d

Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Fox: "We're announcing today expanded programs to help the American coal industry. We're helping it because for years it has been under assault. It was out of fashion with the chardonnay set in San Francisco, Boulder, and NYC ... coal just makes the world go round."

#Patriotism
Seems so simple to understand, but for the oligarchs spending billions to subvert, pervert, and corrupt its true meaning.
