Gov. Stitt today called for cutting then eliminating the state's personal income tax. Who would benefit the most from these cuts? And how much would it cost in state revenue?

(Answers: Mostly the richest 1%. And, a lot.)

Keep in mind that an EO authorizing a detention camp isn't a done deal. That said, there's a reason I went to Gitmo twice while researching the last chapter of my global history of concentration camps.
Trump announces an executive order authorizing a 30,000 capacity migrant detention center in Guantanamo.

"Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back, so we're going to send them out to Guatanamo Bay."

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

It was never about creating better situations for kids. It was always a scam to line the pockets of vendors and a way to give rich folks a coupon for rich folks activities.

It’s as if people have forgotten the reason they’re living so much longer than Americans did 100 years ago is because of the current healthcare system based on science, public health policies, and medical evidence 🇺🇸

One party decided that evolution was partisan, that climate change was partisan, that public health and the biology of sex was partisan. It wasn’t in response to any action or behavior of scientists. If your answer is to be apolitical you’re asking for more abuse.
