Great news! Overnight, a judge enjoined the Trump administration from enforcing their gender affirming care ban executive order in the plaintiff states.

They want you to believe it’s right vs left, when it’s really rich vs poor

I think many of the scholars on authoritarianism believing the US would be a competitive autocracy like Hungary are wrong. Had DeSantis been elected, that would've been the case. This moment has much more of the makings of a downward spiral into totalitarianism.

It’s sad on the eve of Presidents Day it’s appropriate to have to post this.

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

from “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler

Absolutely!

But what a waste of money for these churches to have been lavishlishly built in the first place while people are homeless.

If there were a God, these churches would be repurposed as homes for those in need, paid in full by the priests, bishops and cardinals.

Not that our schools ever taught the whole of it anyway.

History is, unfortunately, written by the victors, not the historians.

Knowledge is power…

Seriously.

They’re just robotically repeating how they’ve been taught to process “freedom.”

Wealth does not equal intelligence. It does, however, equal sociopathy.

A news headline under the "Economic Policy" section reads: "Musk’s DOGE seeks access to personal taxpayer data, raising alarm at IRS." Below the headline, a subheading states: "The unusual request would put sensitive data about millions of American taxpayers in the hands of Trump political appointees." A timestamp indicates the article was posted 21 minutes ago. At the bottom, there is an icon showing an estimated reading time of "4 min." The background is black, and the text is white.

Musk is trying to gain access to everyone's tax returns. This is insane. He'll be able to do whatever he wants with it.

NAZISM is nothing new in America, this is MSG in NY in 1939. Hitler admired the success of American robber barons in suppressing organized labor, he was inspired by US & British propaganda during WWI, and he used the Jim Crow Laws of the South as a template in Nazi Germany.

And then when WWII ended, the U.S. gave clemency to 1500+ Nazi scientists along with new identities, lucrative jobs and luxurious homes.

The president is not above the law, and I don’t care what secret cult of people wearing bathrobes has to say about it.

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this.

Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

And when he grew up…

Furthermore, much was lost in translation, and parts purposefully altered and omitted to meet the patriarchy’s needs!

There is NOTHING holy about Scripture!

US is a one party state. The Ratchet: Repubs push the envelope right, Dems do nothing to stop it, which normalizes things. Repeat. Dems aren’t blocking Trump’s agenda bc they support most of it. Neither party really stands for much, other than shifting corporate interests

U.S. Park Service Strikes Transgender References From Stonewall Website The “T” was removed in references to L.G.B.T.Q.+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights.

They literally removed the T from LGBTQ and erased any mention of trans people who were present at the Stonewall Riots. They're trying to erase us from history.

Billionaires have cheated their way to the top, overriding any possibility of “survival of the fittest” by decimating our ecosystem.

In the end, there will be no winners.
