Differences of Opinion I. He Tells Her He tells her that the earth is flat - He knows the facts, and that is that. In altercations fierce and long She tries her best to prove him wrong.

Forever relevant in the age of social media. Thank you, Wendy Cope.

US immigration is manipulating Google to create a mirage of mass deportations.
Top searches bring up thousands of decades old enforcement actions, all updated with a timestamp from after Trump’s inauguration.
Creating fear.
It is malicious and on purpose.

Who do you think the felon/GOP/oligarchs are ILLEGALLY terminating from our government, military, U.S. aid, scientific agencies, education etc.? It’s women, people of color, LGBTQ+, & working class Americans! This layoff payoff chaos is a SCAM to funnel USA riches & resources to felon/GOP/oligarchs!
We are more powerful than they are. NEVER forget it.
The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.
Republicans have introduced a bill to abolish OSHA.
As a former labor secretary, I know firsthand how crucial this agency is to protecting workers from bosses who cut corners on safety to pad their own pockets.
This is the party of corporate greed, not the party of workers.
Some good news for a change…👇
Pay ATTENTION, now!
Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.
This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Just because there isn’t a bonfire, don’t trick yourself into thinking that the purging of gigantic databases isn’t the modern equivalent of burning books
Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries.
They're eventually paid by us at the check out line.
The tariffs Trump is unleashing tomorrow on Mexico, Canada, and China — our biggest trading partners — are estimated to cost households an extra $1,250 annually.
I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
They love their little code that allows them to say only white men are capable.
The inevitable keeps happening again and again. We don’t learn SHIT from history.
