Social Security Administration takes a step too far with deceptive email on megabill

I love this quote from Matt Haig: "The world is increasingly designed to depress us. Happiness isn't very good for the economy. If we were happy with what we had, why would we need more? . . . To be calm becomes a kind of revolutionary act." #donothing #booksky #books #peace #contentment

Republican Infighting Erupts Over Whether Trump Bill Beautiful Or Handsome
I guess we're going to start replacing real history with conspiracy theories, what the overlords want us to believe.
Beginning next school year, Oklahoma high school students studying U.S. history will learn about conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election thanks to the state's new social studies standards.
New standards for Oklahoma high school students promote misinformation about 2020 election
Leaders in the Republican-led Oklahoma Legislature introduced a resolution to reject the standards, but there wasn’t enough GOP support to pass it.

Whatever happens, I'll never forget that when Republicans began to break with Trump, it wasn't because of the rule of law or human rights abuses or anything like that. It was because they were losing money.
