Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal."

That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

Now a PA resident, meeting new people and looking to get involved in my new community. (Conshohocken, just up the Schuylkill River from the East Falls section of Philly where I grew up.) Oh, and riding my bike on the SRT as much as possible!

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

Rep. Lance Gooden ripped a โ€œThis is NOT Normalโ€ sign out of Rep. Melanie Stansburyโ€™s handโ€”on live TV, right before Trumpโ€™s speech. When they have to silence you by force, theyโ€™ve already proven your point.

Trump has canceled Biden's ethics rules. Critics call it the opposite of 'drain the swamp' Donald Trump took office eight years ago pledging to โ€œdrain the swampโ€ of the dominance of Washington influence peddlers.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

He just started believing his own propaganda about being a scientific genius rather than a canny businessman good at marketing who caught a few lucky breaks. Itโ€™s the story of the entire conservative movement writ large. They started actually internalizing the stuff written for external consumption.

These women didnโ€™t sit down, stay quiet, or ask for permissionโ€”they broke the rules and changed the world. Role models.

We're now entering the era of the corporate media making money off of reporting on "shocking" developments that the rest of us knew were coming but the corporate media failed to warn us about so they could make money off of reporting on "shocking" developments.

I've been warning about this for a while. Sooner than you think U.S. economists may have to go Argentine, cobbling together alternative estimates of inflation, employment and so on because the official data have been corrupted.
