Ty Cobb: "The simple theme is rewriting history. Trump wants to rewrite history so the next generation may not know that he incited a violent insurrection... America needs to learn from the mistakes that we've had. And one of the biggest mistakes that America ever had was reelecting President Trump"

Hey Netflix, now might be a good time to add Roots (1977 miniseries) to the livestream library. A dose of Kunta Kinte is what America needs right now. #history #remember #museum

“To say that human beings are binary is a failure,” Fuentes argues. “It’s not biology. It’s philosophy.” Biology isn’t binary, but our politics keep pretending it is.

What if the “male/female” divide we’ve built our laws, sports, and politics around… isn’t really grounded in biology at all?

IRS just cleared churches to endorse candidates without losing tax-exempt status, blowing up 70 years of precedent.

Faith now becomes a direct political weapon, officially sanctioned.

Expect supercharged election sermons and a new flood of dark money cloaked as “faith.” This changes everything.

DEMOCRATS WOULD BE WISE TO PAY ATTENTION TO THIS…

There’s a new alignment happening and it’s not about left or center. Rank-and-file Dems want two things:

📌Leaders who stand with workers
📌And who stand up to Trump

If you’re not doing either, expect to get primaried.

Watch…

Paul: They started out at 145% got down to 80% now 30%. It is 30% more than we have on currently. It will be a 30% rise in goods coming from China, and somebody will pay that, it will be the consumer.

If Kamala Harris—a Black and Southeast Asian woman—were president during this level of economic chaos, inflation, and global instability, Republicans would be screaming for impeachment hourly.

Trump gets a pass because he’s a white man throwing tantrums for their team.

Former Vice President Gore rips Trump during Climate Week in San Francisco:

“Our Constitution, written by our founders, is intended to protect us from a threat identical to Donald Trump, who seeks power at all costs to get more power.”

Keep calling him out for what he is: a power-hungry dictator.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”

He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.”

Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up.

Marriott still has my business.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,

Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

This and the anticipation of other exemptions to follow will reinforce the view that it is only a matter of time until the main narrative on the tariff regime will be how and when to secure concessions.

Is this from the movie "Idiocracy"?
“I mean c’mon” is not the answer we should be getting from anyone in the Trump administration when asked why they’re putting tariffs on uninhabited islands.

These are not serious people.
