The EO that included restoring monuments/memorials on federal property is a full-on embrace of Confederate ideology. Beginning Monday @uncpress.bsky.social will make my book No Common Ground available to read FOR FREE for the next two weeks. Educate yourself about what this embrace means. ✊

The silence of most Republican members of Congress on the Trump tariffs tells you two things:
1. They know it is a terrible idea.
2. They are so afraid of Trump that they won’t say anything even though they know how much it is going to hurt their constituents and the country.

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

I see the only fans creators have found bluesky. I've had over a dozen following me today alone. I have zero problems with what they do, I'm just not interested at this time in my life. I'm happily cohabiting.

The media is failing tremendously by not stating at the end of every single interview with these lunatics that “the science is clear, no debate is needed, vaccines work, and if we do not use them, many people will die.”

Trump wants to cut the corporate tax rate to 15%. This would give...
-The 5 largest banks a $4.1B tax cut
-The 5 largest drug makers a $3.1B tax cut
-The 5 largest US oil companies a $2.5B tax cut
-The 5 largest grocery stores a $1.7B tax cut
Some populist, huh?

Republicans have used public concern about Social Security’s future solvency as a cynical excuse to demand cuts in benefits.
But Social Security could easily pay everything it will owe to everyone for the next 75 years if the cap on income subject to SS taxes were eliminated.
Let me explain.

Christian Nationalist wanted this to be available, but only for them. I'm not well aligned with TST, but I acknowledge how great this is.
This isn't about being petty like they are with "owning the libs." It's about showing the hypocrisy and how problematic religion in school is.

The Satanic Temple will give kids in an Ohio public school the chance to skip class, with no penalty, in order to learn more about their beliefs.
And Christians deserve all the credit for making it happen.
