No BS. I stand for justice. Old enough to remember when poll tax was legal and Help Wanted ads in newspapers were listed by gender. Young enough to earn my BA 3 years after I qualified for the senior citizen discount on my weed π€

It ainβt all boomers, kid. Kegbreath, Kushner, Rubio are not boomers just to name 3 with their fingerprints all over this mess.
Good news is that takes out all the white suprematist claims about βWestern Civilizationβ being the pinnacle of human achievement π€£
FAFO the only good part about the president being an idiot is that it feels good when he fails.
Too bad Mills played coy so long & then was anointed by Schumer, thus taking out any other viable options. Because this is not the moment for a high mileage corporate Dem weighed down by heavy baggage. I donβt want to have to vote for her, I donβt trust her any more or less than I trust Platner.
Itβs too late to consider literacy when the child arrives in Pre-K. The cuts to Head Start are criminal. Parents & caretakers are the first and most important teachers. Most Americans 0-4 are neglected & βtaken care ofβ by plopping them in front of a screen to watch - they all need Head Start.
I donβt click on .com articles about literacy stats. I have a degree in secondary education, worked in secondary education. I am painfully aware of the literacy rate in Maine. The biggest problem we face is the failure of support systems for low SES families. NCLB does nothing for them.
Anyone surprised by that hasnβt been paying attention to what has been happening in our military for the past few decades. The friggin AF Academy has been indoctrinating future officers in Christianity for decades.

Itβs natural to be sad and angry when you are living in a fascist regime and nothing you do seems to have much effect. But meek acceptance will never stop an authoritarian. Those who have no care in the world got us into this by not voting. Stay strong!
Sorry, theyβre planning to put AI data centers under the sea where they arenβt mining it. Either way the garden will be destroyed.
He and his father lied in the past, saying Fred Sr was born in Sweden. Itβs because his first language was German & accent was so thick. Two world wars with Germany ya knowβ¦
We should be more concerned about the effect of illiteracy on democracy and the world at large than whether people can write a post that others donβt take as intended. Illiterate people canβt maintain our current tech & medical system, let alone advance science.
Heβs voluntarily retiring. I donβt think he would be so honest otherwise. Thatβs the problem with most politicians, including Mills. Afraid of the opinion of the most wishy washy uniformed in the electorate rather than standing on their convictions. The haters gonna hate anyway so go for it.
βThis is just evangelical christian nationalist American fanatics vs. evangelical fanatical Shia Iran. A bunch of ultra religious apocalyptic loving assholes who have no business running a food truck let alone countries and wars.β
Though I agree there are too many with this opinion, same people feel free to say it about brown immigrants & trans people, liberals etc. Hate is the primary motive - saving βWestern civilizationβ βour heritageβ is the story they tell themselves. They want everyone in dead or in concentration camps.
E Pluribus Unum is reduced by MAGA to βfuck you unless youβre wealthy enough to own a luxury jet and an islandβ.
Feels like itβs on brand for Christian Nationalists like Huckabibi.
That tracks. The MAGA motto is Every Man for Himself - Leave the Women and Children Behind.
Did you read it? Trump and his family are greedy bastards who are being personally enriched by several foreign governments & paying the favor back by waging war, endangering Americans. And thatβs the stuff he canβt hide from us. Whatβs he secretly giving them in return for their support?
Why has Trump been pushed in this direction? Follow the money. UAE, Qatar, the Saudis and Israel paid him to.
The brain damage/personality change from stroke shouldnβt be underestimated. Iβve read that he canβt regulate his anger when dealing with staff.
I phone banked and door knocked for Goldenβs first campaign thinking he wasnβt gonna collude with a fascist cult. I didnβt think Mills would be foolish enough to run & take all the oxygen & funds out of the primary. Weβll never know who she & Schumer scared out of running.
Sheβs still using her birth name - her attitude is whatβs everyoneβs problem anyway?
Itβs analogous to putting Martha Stewart in prison decades ago for insider trading while allowing the entire Congress to continue trading on their insider knowledge.
MAGA has declared βliberal white womenβ as enemy #1. Liberals donβt like us much either. Simultaneously accused of being βtoo muchβ & blamed for being βnot enoughβ in every aspect. The entire political spectrum π© on liberal white women for simply existing.
Investors instructed the MBAs to put profit over quality, squeezing the food & labor budget. To an investment banker itβs a profit center, not a restaurant. Frozen pizza is as good or better for less than half the cost. No one goes in at 7am to make the dough and cut up veggies for the salad bar.
Worked @ Pizza Slut 35 years ago. The dough was made fresh every morning, placed in the pans and βproofed.β The long lost salad bars were stocked with fresh vegetables cut up daily, not out of plastic bags. Now itβs all preprocessed in a factory. Buy a frozen DiGiorno for half the cost.
They should look up what happened after the Redcoats fired on a crowd of hecklers armed with oyster shells and snowballs.

Trump wants FATO (Fascists Are Taking Over) to replace NATO.
