I have a question about hyphen usage from some court reporter friends and their proofreaders who all rely on MW. They/We ask: Why is “step-by-step” always hyphenated in MW but not “day by day” or “line by line”??
TIA

Doug Jones reading this live just now was a wake-up call. Niemöller’s words aren’t just history—they’re a mirror. If we keep “shaking our heads” without action, we’ll find there’s no one left to stand with us.

Speak up. Get involved. Before it’s too late.

This executive order is bad — cartoonishly so. But it is also a wake-up call for those who believe the danger of election subversion has passed.

To the contrary, it has only just begun.

And so has our fight.

'This isn't your granddad's KKK.' Inside the influential hate group that's expanding in Tennessee
They are the largest hate group in America, wrapping themselves in the red-white-and-blue of the flag, marching into the middle of American cities and claiming to be patriots.

to be fair 77m Americans voted for an alliance with Russia instead of NATO and another 90m who couldn’t be bothered to vote were also fine with that. Because we are a nation of lazy minded religion obsessed bigots who could have been enjoying the American renaissance now: economy, health, and allies

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Of course Trump wants to eliminate the Department of Education. It’s the one thing that won’t impact his base.

Reposted by 😎Just Me😎
As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.

Really think about how twisted this all is.

How it happened...

Oligarchs: The next great frontier of unlimited wealth for us is crypto.

Trump: Sounds like a scam. Don't get me wrong. I love scams. How do I get in on it?

O: We produce the crypto. We become like the largest banks, more powerful than the federal reserve...

With Elon Musk, an unelected plutocrat, six weeks from becoming co-President of the United States, many people are just starting to research who he really is—that is, beyond the basics most already know.

Or, rather, think they know—as most of those basics are untrue.

This thread reveals the truth.

Oh, I want much more than this. I want everything any intelligence agency has on Donald Trump declassified as well as anything the Department of Justice has.

Our intelligence community sat on its ass and did nothing to help us with a walking national security threat for 10 years.

Let that end now.
