This stone is actually at the FDR Memorial. Even so, I hope the next lawfully elected president, should we ever have another, pursuant to and in accordance with a statute duly enacted by a functioning Congress, should we ever have another, will have it permanently displayed in the Oval Office.

When trump talks about jailing critics or calling protestors “terrorists,” he might not do it immediately. But just saying it out loud shifts the Overton window, suddenly, the idea exists in public debate. That’s the first step toward making it real.

How do we know Trump didn’t order Kirk’s assassination as a distraction from Epstein — and a tactic to start the civil unrest he needs to declare Martial Law and delay the 2026 midterms?

Sesame Street will be putting a huge collection of episodes on YouTube starting in January 2026
This is a fantastic way to educate children
It’s a form of resistance.
Shows like Sesame Street teach love, tolerance, acceptance & more.
These lessons are crucial for the long fight ahead.

Donald and Marco are protecting pedophiles. This Israeli cyber security expert was in the states to meet with NSA counterparts and thought he could do whatever he likes.
He was right, because nothing happened to him when he was caught in a sting.

I detest that in just one week this story is gone from the media cycle.
An Israeli citizen & report of Netanyahu was charged & arrested for attempting to rape a 14-year-old child. He was bailed out & flew back to Israel, despite an Aug 27 court date.
WHY???

We’re 7 months in, and “Pentagon plans military deployment in Chicago” is a headline in the Washington Post. And because it’s city number three, we’re already numbing to it.
If you read this about any other democracy in the world, you’d conclude that it was well on the road to a dictatorship.
