Ummm, someone watched Hunger Games last night...🤦♀️
Donald Trump just announced the creation of the “Patriot Games,” an “unprecedented four-day athletic event” with “one young man and one young woman from each state and territory.”

If Trump announces a new and illegal regime change war against Venezuela tonight pay attention to which elected Democrats stay silent and don’t vociferously oppose and condemn him for it - and then make sure those Dems are subjected to primary challenges next year.

A story I found about Haiti:
In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."

It all matters, yes, but this matters more than Susie Wiles, matters more, even, than the travel ban; more than all of Trump’s wars actual & looming (Venezuela, Ukraine, Somalia, Gaza) combined. It’s like the Cuban Missile Crisis, only U.S. is aiming it missiles at everyone, starting with itself.

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits.
If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.

when you dig into the history of menswear, you find the same stories repeated. men who moralize traditional aesthetics rarely consider how their "tradition" was considered a corruption by an earlier generation, who wore things hated by people before them
