And then, in a bizarre twist of ironic fate, recently pardoned J-Six rioters realize their initial targets were incorrect and self-correct their mistake, thus ending a crazy coup and capitalist oligarchy, and become actual heroes.

Ordered by POTUS, the USAF curriculum has removed the Tuskegee Airmen. Tomorrow, as an extension in Stamped (For Kids) by Ibram X. Kendi @ibramxk.bsky.social & Jason Reynolds @jasonreynolds83.bsky.social I'm teaching about the Tuskegee Airmen & the erasing of Black history. Education is resistance.

This is not okay.
President Trump just shut off funding for law enforcement, farmers, schools, veterans, and health care.

We are working diligently to reverse this, but we are preparing for every outcome to help Minnesotans weather this storm.

Minnesota needs answers. We’ll see Trump in court.

First, they came for the immigrants, and while we were speaking up for the immigrants, they came for our coffee, and we were like NOPE.

After President Petro of Colombia denied entry of two US repatriation flights of Colombian migrants, President Trump has announced these retaliatory measures.

Petro said he wouldn’t allow the flights in until Trump establishes a protocol for the dignified treatment of migrants.

Knowing who you are when nobody's looking is a pretty good indication of who you really are.

Propaganda is not just misinformation; it’s a tool to shape perception, silence dissent, and control societies. Its danger lies in its ability to make lies feel like truth and manipulation feel like choice.

I didn't realize the US Constitution was just a list of suggestions.
Why are we ignoring the Fourteenth Amendment-Section 3?

FOLLOW THE DATA! VOTES HAVE BEEN SWAPPED!
Iowa District 1: Ballots with only President filled-in (dropoff/bullet ballots) total around 8% for Trump and -8% for Harris #BeatTheCheat
I live in Iowa so I did an analysis of dropoff ballots for Iowa’s District 1. The results were striking and weird.

This will make for an interesting inauguration. RIP President Carter.
Thank you President Carter. Half mast flags for you and the impending death of Democracy when a felon is sworn in
