I'm working hard to stop hating. People don't purposely join CULTS. They are duped. We have to be ready to welcome back anyone who finally gets fed up with MAGA.

ICE point gun at father in front of son—drag him out of truck by smashing window.

"Please put the gun down! That's my dad!" son cries. "You're hurting him... Look he's bleeding!"

"Why did you break window? He wasn't doing anything."

Ok BlueSky: what are your favorite history books in terms of sheer page-turning, narrative propulsion? Thinking along the line of Killers of the Flower Moon, etc. Nonfiction chronicles that read like novels or movies.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.

The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

It’s amazing that the House passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. But even though the bill bans redactions for embarrassment or political reasons, it still includes several exceptions that could allow key names to be withheld:

“Even if the measure passes through the House and Senate and is signed into law, it's unlikely the Justice Dept would release the entire Epstein file. Any materials related to ongoing investigations or WH claims of executive privilege will likely remain out of public view.”

While the #Florida State #BOE spends time signing on to billionaire-backed declarations, educators & parents are focused on what actually matters: helping students learn, grow, and thrive.

It's past time for Florida to put students before politics & invest in fully funded public schools.
