President Trump said that regulators should consider revoking the licenses of broadcasters that air negative coverage or commentary of him, indicating that his assault on critics’ language is motivated at least in part by personal animus. nyti.ms/3W2Jz8p

LOOK AT THIS: A French mural now shows Lady Liberty burying her face in disgust—unveiled the day before America’s fireworks start.
When the country that literally gave us the Statue of Liberty starts airing us out publicly, you know the rot’s too deep.

Frederick Douglass' anti-slavery speech remains relevant

One might have thought that last November, when Missourians voted to enshrine “reproductive freedom" in the state constitution, that would have been the end of the conversation.
Alas, the Missouri Supreme Court doesn’t seem to be inclined to listen. This week, the court halted abortions.

We do not have 6 months. Being complicit in the dismantling of our government will be willfully capitulating to what Trump, Maga and Republicans want. I did not recite The Pledge of Allegiance to white Supremacy.
