I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”
It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

Since winning a PA Supreme Court majority, Ds have:
- Erased GOP gerrymander
- Upheld mail voting
- Rejected Trump bid to overturn results
So you can imagine why Rs really want to seize the majority ahead of ‘26 + ‘28.

Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania's Supreme Court - Bolts
The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democrats’ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.

I was recently asked why I wouldn’t want the Ten Commandments in my classroom since they’re about being a “good person.”
The first commandment tells kids that if they’re not Christian, what they believe is wrong.
That’s Christian Nationalism, and it’s the exact opposite of being a good person.

The Lord of the Rings films are older than ICE.

ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment.
Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.

The COVID-19 vaccines are the closest humans have come to a scientific feat like blowing up an asteroid headed to Earth in real time and saving millions, if not tens of millions, of lives. And conservatives are like, "Witch!!"
Once viewed as the path out of the pandemic, mRNA vaccines are now being vilified — & not just by fringe figures. The attack on this important platform could render the US far more vulnerable in the next pandemic & trailing China in the field of scientific advances. www.statnews.com/2025/06/02/m...
mRNA, once lauded as a scientific marvel, is now a government target

Of all the awful stuff in this reprehensible bill, the fact that your children stop being considered dependents at SEVEN may be the most horrifying detail.
The Ag Committee's part of the Reconciliation Bill raises the SNAP work requirement age for able-bodied adults without dependents from 54 to 64. It also changes the definition of "dependent child" from under 18 years to under 7 years old to determine "Able-bodied adult without dependents."

The Trump administration is rushing to bring the first group of white South Africans classified as refugees to the U.S. early next week. Meanwhile, they’re trying to deport other refugees already here. Make it make sense. Oh wait, Elon’s homeland. Got it.

Bigots always imagine children, families, and schools as fundamentally separate from queer people. To them, LGBTQ books "expose" children to ideas that originate outside the classroom. They do not understand schools as places where gay and trans students, families, and teachers exist.
