“The right has this great ability to rally around the people they think are righteous warriors,” .... "When someone shows courage on our side, we can often 'leave them standing there by themselves.'”

The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned
Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?

If you have a screenshot of a US politician or leader blaming the left, or declaring some war, or anything before we knew who the shooter was, please post in the comments. We will need to keep these

How do we know if these “ICE” agents in sweatshirts & masks are legitimate? The Minnesota assassin disguised himself as a police officer. Their desperate tactics are wrong, inhumane, & illegal.

I do feel like this isn't being talked about enough (by lawmakers). Rep. Goldman asks the right question: if what you're doing is lawful and above board, why are you hiding?

I haven't seen any other members of Congress taking about ICE (and whoever else is helping ICE) wearing masks and removing badges to hide their identity.

Call your Rep &. Senators! Ask them to talk about why ICE / DHS are hiding their identities!

I see we're back to wishful thinking in media coverage. So much of this feels like re-visiting 2016-2020 without lessons learned.

No, it's not falling apart. No, Musk is not truly out of government, just adjusting.

We can't confuse comforting lies with hope. Doing that in the past led us here.

This, as the Department of Education, now on life support, will use its remaining power and staff to begin collecting on student loans paused since the pandemic.
A tweet by matthew ( @matthewpheta ...) posted 5 hours ago reads, "the right thinks you’re a parasite if you can’t afford to pay off your student loans during a housing and cost of living crisis, but they’re totally fine with loan forgiveness when it applies to them." The tweet includes an image listing "10 Republicans who took advantage of PPP loan forgiveness but blocked student debt relief." The list includes: Marjorie T. Greene (R-Georgia, $180,000), Roger Williams (R-Texas, $1.43 million), Matt Gaetz (R-Florida, $476,000), Brett Guthrie (R-Kentucky, $4.3 million), Carol Miller (R-West Virginia, $3.1 million), Vern Buchanan (R-Florida, $2.8 million), Kevin Hern (R-Oklahoma, $1.07 million), Vicki Hartzler (R-Missouri, $451,200), Mike Kelly (R-Pennsylvania, $974,100), and Greg Pence (R-Indiana, $79,441). The image is branded with the logo "VL."

As ugly as this seems, it also means the charade of societal equality for people of color is mercifully over.

Illinois is the nation's number one soybean producing state — it's what made us the perfect home for the Soybean Innovation Lab.

Thanks to Donald Trump, the lab will close on April 15.

Innovation lost, jobs lost, and education lost.
