Restoring Confederate monuments and renaming military bases after Confederates because, um, honoring armed treason in defense of slavery isn’t political?

There are two weeks left of recess. The economy is beginning to go south. Right wingers really don't like tariffs.

One thing I think we all need to think about (myself included!): the fascist regime is trying to crush our spirit of resistance by escalating to the highest possible degree. But, they are massively vulnerable to a counteroffensive.
If we nonviolently match their escalation, they could crumble.

The Trump DOJ isn't meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell to facilitate letting Americans know more about Jeffrey Epstein. Just the opposite.
It is meeting with her to tamper with her testimony or, better yet, shut her up entirely, possibly with the offer of a pardon or reduced sentence.
