Imagine having so much money that losing $30,000,000,000 in one day had no impact on your quality of life.

This is from a grocery store in Denmark. The star indicates that the product is European so that Danes can more easily avoid American products.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people.

We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

Keep downplaying the protests at your own peril.

Keep threatening Americans.

The protests will only get bigger.

Trump is hated.

Musk is hated.

The political winds have shifted.

People are fed up.

This is only the beginning.

It’s a good day to stand up for democracy.

β€œThey didn’t assault.”

That Trump is allowed to deny the reality we saw with our eyes on Jan 6th, that is on tape!, & just ramble on with lie after lie, is a total indictment of our failed media industry. How reporters can just stand there as he says this stuff is beyond me. Have some self respect!

I've been teaching high school English for 21 years. Sometimes, my students and I read things like "Letter from a Birmingham Jail," and we have conversations about American history, but in no way am I, or any teacher I've ever met, telling students to hate America.
