I was a front line nurse during Covid.
Wearing trash bags, wet masks, NO adequate PPE to protect me.
I worked a 60 day stretch over the holidays because staff were sick or had died.
I pronounced more people dead than I can count.
Donald Trump didn't give a damn if we lived or died.
Now THIS?

Burns' six-part documentary uses voiceover, reenactors and drone footage to tell the story of America's founding. And it reminds viewers that the quest for a more perfect union is far from over.
Ken Burns' 'American Revolution' will make you think differently about U.S. history

I want a government that doesn’t sound like a deeply damaged, bratty boy when it communicates with citizens exercising their First Amendment rights.

Because Republicans and the Supremely CORRUPT Court of Donald Trump.
They work for HIM, not the American people or the Constitution.
A disgrace.

Media’s asleep. Trump’s $75B ICE plan isn’t “immigration enforcement”, it’s a loyalist army for martial law. Bigger than FBI, DEA & ATF combined. 10k agents, National Guard, military prisons. Not border security. Federal takeover. Wake TF up America.

Happy b’day, “American Idiot” — released as a single 21 years ago today, and written in the wake of the Iraq War.

I just returned to Maine from 5 wonderful days in Prince Edward Island 🇨🇦. What a tranquil time it was - beautiful beaches, bountiful farm land, excellent seafood, and friendly, welcoming people. Thank you 🇨🇦!! Then I turned on PBS News Hour tonight, and BAM. Welcome back to the USA. UGH.

As somebody who grew up conservative homeschooled, (and who had Michael Farris' Con Law primer as a HS kid) I can say from experience that if anything Talia is underselling the creepiness and fervor of the HSLDA.
why destroy the department of education?
would you believe there's a creepy evangelical organization operating in broad daylight but under the radar whose meteoric rise goes a long way towards explaining it?
