Everyone saying fine as long as they pay taxes should remember how much tax corporations end up paying every year, which is to say not enough. And it won't be long before churches lobby to change tax codes in their favor even if they do. Taxing them isn't the solution. Separation is the only answer.

I have a few that didn't work out as I'd hoped and now are bolting, cilantro mostly, some lettuces too. I am letting them go to Seed so I can try again next year.

Honestly, no one cares if you are taking ketamine FFS, for God's sake, or for your own sake. We care that you were taking it while within arms reach of the nuclear football.

When is a gift not a gift?

When it is filled with the latest tracking and eavesdropping technology.

Putin himself may not be but Truth Social is probably 1/3rd Russian bots and trolls. Another 1/3rd are alt right bots and trolls. The other 1/3rd are bots and trolls from other countries.

Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

It's interesting that Trump ended his truth post this morning with his initials when he normally does not. "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT" Then, four hours later, he puts a 90-day hold on the tariffs and the market rebounds. Was it a tipoff to his oligarch buddies who were getting "yippy"?

They only needed 60 to move it out of debate. An all republican party line vote is all that is needed to actually pass it.

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.
