Will Charlie Kirk be the new Horst Wessel?

Jen and Teresa also sound like they may have issues!

I'll have to look into this! From your description, it sounds like Ciara is quite a handful!

Socialism is what they called public power. 

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

😳 what's going on here 🤷‍♂️

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both."

Wesleyan University president says Trump's antisemitism fight doesn't protect Jews Michael Roth, Wesleyan University's first Jewish president, says the Trump administration is using antisemitism as a "cloak" to get universities to be loyal to the president.

A tweet by Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren ) reads: "If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next? This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States."

We must make our stand here.

Same here. I understand why they want the tax process to be terrible and error-prone, but why is TurboTax itself so bad? It's full of bugs that any self-respecting software vendor would be embarrassed to put out in public.

Just make sure that your local tax preparer isn't using TurboTax.

History teaches us that the way to stand up to a dictator is to fight back against him, not capitulate to him.

Surrendering to tyranny invites more of it.

This moment we're in should not be met with a "moderate" response.

BREAKING: Trump's billionaire Commerce Secretary says that seniors won't care if they don't get their Social Security checks — and that anyone who does complain is a fraudster.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

A tweet from Ron Filipkowski outlining a satirical "Trump Recession Timeline." It humorously describes shifting narratives, starting with promises of economic prosperity and ending with blaming Biden for a potential recession.

Accurate.

This seems like a low-stakes loyalty test, allowing the Trump administration to identify and fire people who won't fall in line, before a high-stakes situation comes about.
