Saw a car with "Unborn Lives Matter" and "Free Derek Chauvin" stickers. Fetuses are more human than black men to this POS.

I told my daughter she could marry anyone she wants--man, woman, black, white, christian, muslim, but never a repugnican. She is 8, but she gets it. Also, she married our cat and I'm ok with that too as long as they don't try for kids.

We need an army of Luigis.

I wouldn't be surprised at this point. And they wouldn't have to be Russian operatives - there are enough homegrown to take over the job.

Incorrect - kindergarteners are the sweetest, kindest, most careful people you can meet. Don't disparage them by describing fascist dictators that way. You are confusing Kindergarten with 7th grade. Now those kids are mean.

I hope everyone realizes that scrubbing historical references from web sites is no different than burning books

Next stop in America's descent into totalitarianism, Erdogan's Turkiye. Then arriving at Putin's Russia, with final destination Stalin's USSR.

I've noticed that using children as political props is popular with a certain type of politician.

How can you hate your child for being who they are? If he hadn't already his soul, I'd say there is a special place in hell for him.

The scroll across the bottom of CBS This Morning is filled with stories of Trumps horrific actions and statements, yet the news talks only of basketball.

I live in NC. I get the obsession. But we need real, unafraid, unapologetic news coverage going out to every home.

Visited Acadia many times in my childhood. Parks sponsored by one of the world's richest families for the benefit of all. Nothing like the mega-rich of today.

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same

When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state

WTF?!? Elon Musk reposted this on X before quietly deleting it:

β€œStalin, Mao, and Hitler didn’t murder millions of people. Their public sector employees did.”

I agree. I want to believe Goods Unite Us but the data it uses doesn't give a good picture of corporate contributions.

When thinking about a username and display name, is it ok to use real info, or should it be coded for more anonymity?

I've noticed fewer showing off his bumper stickers where I live. Cowards. Show yourselves so we can shame you publicly for your actions.

Some positive vibes: we are at my 8 year olds school dance. We are a very diverse school, with lots of parents born outside the US. The kids are jumping together to Party in the USA, showing what the best of this country is. I hope that they will never lose this spirit.

Three done. Complained about rich kids getting diversity vouchers, Italian getting credit for discovering America (it was pretty racist, I despised myself for those kind of words), and that brown and black are being given equal billing in the color wheel.

Amazon slashed prices to lure us in. They are hearing it.

Shopped (last week) Costco online for something I normally would source from Amz. Felt good.

I read a post that a one-day blackout won't do anything--long-term is needed. And yes, keep fighting until it changes. BUT, it is working--filled my AMZ cart to abandon it, and all of my regular items had slashed prices. They want to lure us back, to break us. So they are hearing us. Keep it up!
