I'm a retired Alternative-Education teacher. I believe everyone can learn. I hope that is true in all things, even politics. Critical thinking skills are so important.

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it.

Iโ€™ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

Trump on sending American prisoners to El Salvadorian prisons: 'I love that' Trump told reporters he would be in favor of sending American prisoners to El Salvador Sunday but that he doesn't "know what the law says on that."

Am I the only one who finds hypocrisy in sir orange wanting pay to ship (American!) prisoners to El Salvador when he is wreaking havoc on the economy because we import more goods than we export? Why would we not want to employ American guards?

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folksโ€ฆ

โ€œThe opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.โ€ @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and theyโ€™re the ones running the government.

I've seen a child with tetanus, I've treated near fatal infections after chicken pox, and I've pronounced children dead from COVID whose parents refused to have them vaccinated.

We have lost our minds... and are about to lose so many of our precious children.

On this day, in 1979, scientists declared that smallpox had been eradicated. Prior to vaccinations, the disease had been spread from human to human for a few thousand years. Amazing! Thank you to those who work to eradicate diseases!!!

I agree with him! I think Biden should pardon DonOld. He'll never have a consequence. Charges have been dismissed. I think DonOld would be furious if Biden did it. Go for it!

I have relatives in that same conspiracy theory boat. I'm not even concerned about convincing them that vaccines are safe and effective. I just want them to stop spreading disinformation. The last post shared was from a fake news website. Because, they are such good Christians, right?

Biden pardons 'Peach' and 'Blossom' in White House Thanksgiving turkey tradition Peach and Blossom are the two lucky turkeys from Minnesota who are escaping a fowl fate as part of a White House tradition.

I think, with Jack Smith dismissing charges against DonOld, Biden should pardon him. It would infuriate the orange one to be indebted to Biden and he's never going to have any consequences anyway. Why not pardon one more turkey?
