If Adolf Hitler were suddenly reincarnated and installed inside the American government, one of the first things he would do is start investigating organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The SPLC is America's early warning system for fascist, white supremacist takeovers of our country.

PATTY MURRAY: What happened to childcare in this budget?

RFK Jr: Ok, let's talk about childcare then instead of the war

MURRAY: Just so it's clear, the president is requesting $1.5t in defense which cuts our non-defense incredibly

RFK Jr: It's not my department

A reminder as the skyline becomes filled with performative Earth Day posts tomorrow, that companies which profit from genocide are also contributing to environmental destruction and ecological loss in Palestine and Lebanon.

Completely normal

ICE detained more than 70 Minnesota children, data reveals Immigration officials detained more than 70 Minnesota children between Dec. 1 and March 10, a Sahan analysis of court records and federal deportation data shows.

Trump claimed "Operation Metro Surge" targeted the "worst of the worst." In reality, ICE ripped 70 kids away from their families, friends, and schools.

Our children deserve justice and accountability. That starts with abolishing ICE.

-- people who demand blue no matter who voting

funny how y'all have electoralism backwards and expect voters to show up for politicians rather than politicians to create platforms worth supporting

we pay them

our taxes and society support THEM

we owe them nothing

and when our system can't hold anyone accountable for genocide, it has failed

The flu epidemic is inextricably linked to World War I. The first cases in the U.S. were identified in soldiers living in close quarters in Army barracks before heading to Europe to join the war, which the United States entered in April 1917. Even the name that we use to identify the disease, the “Spanish flu,” is inaccurate, according to historian Kenneth C. Davis, author of More Deadly Than War: The Hidden History of the Spanish Flu and the First World War. “Fear driven by propaganda, censorship and lies were so much a powerful part of the spread of the Spanish flu. People were misled, often deliberately, by officials,” Davis said. “Newspapers were censored. The reason it is the Spanish flu is because of censorship. [During the war] Spain was a neutral country. It didn’t censor its news reports as rigorously as some of the warring countries did, so the first report of a massive epidemic comes out of Madrid in the spring of 1918 and that’s the reason it was reported by Reuters in London that Madrid was under a mass epidemic. That’s the reason it was called the Spanish flu. It certainly didn’t originate there.”

"The reason it is called the Spanish Flu is because of censorship."

George Washington's decision to have his troops inoculated (a crude technique that predated vaccines) against smallpox is considered by historians to have been a major factor in the Revolutionary War.

Wait, how? (I'm just getting into the game)

it’s so funny that the drunk tv host in charge of the military is like “real warriors don’t need vaccines” when all the greatest generals in history would have done anything for a jab that kept their armies safe from disease

Netanyahu......"We NEVER KILLED children in GAZA".

The truth...

At least they are offering it still, if the soldier wants it
But are they informing the soldiers it's available??
