This Is Ground Zero in the Conservative Quest for More Patriotic and Christian Public Schools Oklahoma has spent years reshaping public schools to integrate lessons about Jesus and encourage pride in America’s history. By the time the second Trump administration began espousing its β€œAmerica Fi...

Oklahoma’s social studies standards, written with the help of the right-wing group behind Project 2025, now include roughly 40 points about Christianity that students should learn as well as skepticism about the 2020 election and COVID-19’s origins.

I think they're competent, just not in the way they should be. They're extremely competent in being lap dogs for Project 2025's nihilist dismantling of civilization to set up fascist theocracy

Whenever the GOP complains about a practice by the Democrats, they've either started the practice or will be soon.

Somehow "feminist cancel culture" is more of a threat than masked pseudo-police abducting people without due process.

Your local food bank is likely running low on inventory due to the expiration of SNAP benefits. Please consider donating.

The GOP is willing to take both your healthcare AND food to appease Donald Trump.

This administration has taught me that the meaning of words no longer matters, and if anything needs to be said, it has to be the most exaggerated form of your message conceivable

I absolutely loathe anyone who supports Donald Trump at this point in time. You're either part of the solution or part of the problem.

@developers.google.com Stop developing for a company that supported tearing down the East Wing of the White House.

I guess you could watch the last 10 minutes of "Old Yeller" to get the same emotional experience. Except the version where the dog doesn't have rabies.

What math is that? And which candidate are you talking about? My frame of reference in these comments was the situation as of early fall 2024. Assume we know nothing past that time and you've got my context correct.

The timing of Biden's withdrawal, in retrospect, was a huge problem. Given that reality, I don't have much blame to put on her shoulders.

Thank you for continuing to stand firm during the shutdown to prevent even more gutting of health care benefits for working Americans.
