A man, near the White House, who describes himself as a "retired disabled combat veteran," after burning an American flag tells bystanders "I am being detained because I expressed my First Amendment rights."
This is the kind of courage that is embarrassingly absent in the ranks of U.S. Republican lawmakers
One can only hope that the brave few who *have* spoken out will soon be joined by others...before it's too late
Because I'm shocked at the pace with which things are getting out of hand in the States

If you don’t vaccinate your kids, you don’t go to public school. That’s the trade. If you want the benefits of living in a society, you make concessions to what the collective needs. If you can’t or won’t do that, no public school for you.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, but the administration has continued jailing people indefinitely.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.
