It turned out that things like morals, empathy and dignity are like trees---they take decades to grow. They can also be clear cut just like trees: when ppl are doused daily with fear, bigotry and hate.

It started with everyone being fine with throwing immune compromised under the Covid bus ...on their way to brunch.

Full on apathy and don't give AF led to this mess.

Wearing a mask to protect others was just too "weird".

We did indeed carry the American flag. We understand its meaning. We also talked about the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights. The three distinct branches of government. How our military and Department of Justice are to be non political.

- $172 million for two jets
- $200 million for Trump White House
- $40 billion for Argentina.

Americans struggling with rent, to buy groceries, and have affordable health care? F YOU, says Trump.

The Trump administration is spending $172 million on two jets for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and other senior officials

DHS Purchase Of Business Jets During Shutdown Draws Democrats’ Ire

The department said it would not allow the federal shutdown "to slow down this process" of replacing the jet, but Democrats want to know where the money is coming from.

Watching a thing on the English Civil War, it strikes me that now that the People have marched against Kings, Democrats should likewise stand together and compile a Petition of Right, outlining all the dubiously "legal" things President Trump is doing that we don't want to see legal anymore:

Totally agree!
We love seeing the big city crowds but the courage small town folks have at these #nokings rallies is amazing.

Shout out to all the small town protesters out there.

There is no anonymity in a tiny town. No strength in numbers or hiding in a crowd. When you stand up for democracy in a small town, EVERYONE knows. Y'all are brave as hell. #NoKings

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Bari Weiss nurtured the anti-vaxx rhetoric that directly contributed to 6 million children developing Long Covid. Her rise to head of CBS News is deeply disturbing. The Free Press promotes the most toxic neoliberal, climate denying, MAGA adjacent trash you can find.

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas

With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.
