Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities.
They donโt care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.

Word on the street is Vance won't meet with the German Chancellor, Scholz, this week. Understandable. If I were Scholz I wouldn't hang out with a Nazi either.
Vance took the MAGA circus to Europe and spewed fascist lies at our oldest and surest allies

No women will lead a House committee for the first time in two decades after House Republicans revealed their list of committee leaders for the 119th Congress. No people of color were selected, either.
Text of poem - Luminary. My luminary, my morning and evening star. My light at noon when there is no sun and the sky lowers. My balance of joy in a world that has gone off joy's standard. Yours the face that young I recognised as though I had known you of old. Come, my eyes said, out into the morning of a world whose dew waits for your footprint. Before a green altar with the thrush for priest I took those gossamer vows that neither the Church could stale nor the Machine tarnish, that with the years have grown hard as flint, lighter than platinum on our ringless fingers.
