I’m sure everyone hurt by Trump’s policies would like a government bailout, but apparently those only go to farmers who can’t sell their products to other countries.

It is really, really hard to get your head around the raw hubris of the majority. They really will be destabilizing the operating structure of the entire U.S. government. Why? Because they believe they have a better idea about how the past century should've been done.
Justice Gorsuch: Is it possible--"just maybe"--that we're setting our sights far too low and we should be blowing up many more structures of modern government?

RELEASE THE ENTIRE VIDEO

The more we learn, the harder it is to deny it was a war crime.

📌 The Atlantic: Footage was so graphic it made viewers nauseated. “Worse than we were led to believe.”

📌 NBC News: Pete Hegseth ordered the military to kill all 11 people on the boat.

Finding a way to make people “other” and using that to instill fear and control.

That has been the cycle throughout history.

Those without substance or the ability to lead have no other tools.

It will continue as long as we allow it.

We have to stay vigilant.

"Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one"

"I'm sorry, sir, we were hoping to get an informed opinion. For that we will go to Congressman Raskin. . ."
Republicans use the "I'm not familiar with that" dodge several times a day now, and if a reporters or anchor isn't ready and willing to shut them down as soon as they try it, that means they're either incompetent at their job or a willing accomplice to the lies.

Either way, never trust them again.
If they pretend they haven’t heard about the story of the day, end the interview right there.

“I’m sorry, Senator, we wanted to get your perspective on this story, but it seems you’re not fully aware of what’s going on.”

When I taught Civics, I used Supreme Court cases to trace our expansion of rights to demonstrate democratic values.

If I were still teaching Civics today, I would need to place the concepts of 'precedent,' 'stare decisis,' and 'rule of law' in the trash bin.

This SCOTUS is corrupt.
