If it’s true that, “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it,” then it is also true that if the history we learn is biased, heavily edited, and sanitized, we risk missing key lessons or misinterpreting the lessons an honest and accurate history can impart.

I have a question about our orange wannabe dictator's statement about reversing Biden's ban on plastic straws.
Did Joe Biden ever ban plastic straws and if not why does our media, both social and mainstream, repeat his claims without that disclaimer?
All, I've found is that the National Park Service proposed phasing out single-use plastics for their vendors by 2032.

I just noticed that www.disability.gov is gone now. I never used it but it was a good resource for folks who are newly disabled. Another example of govt sites disappearing. Makes me feel physically sick.
Last cruise I came home with double pneumonia. This time my mother and I have both tested positive for flu. 🙄

A Gentle Reminder for Black History Month and Superbowl Sunday:
Colin Kaepernick took a knee for social justice and the NFL blackballed him for life.
Now the NFL is taking a knee for Trump, erasing their message of "End Racism" from the Superbowl field. - Ward Sutton.

@thepoliticalcat @w7voa Trump's that qualified for public office & any business office, he even believes tariffs would make "America' rich.
No wonder Trump bankrupted at least six times, at the cost of the public.

Who is he to “allow” anyone to do anything there, especially anything this idiotic & dangerous 🤦🏻♀️- #delusional 1/…
“ #Trump on Sunday said that he is committed to buying and owning #Gaza, but could allow sections of the land to be rebuilt by other states in the Middle East.”

@DemocracyMattersALot Supreme designer of sabotage of U.S. government Russell Vought is one more reminder to the fact, that obstructing the government's work & functions for the endgame of installing a manipulable puppet of the subversive right-wing/fascist camp will never make you a constitutionally tolerable individual.
@seanf @TMRuppert And we arrive in Nola, completing a week long cruise. I hope it doesn't take too many hours to get to I-10.

Deporting "DREAMERS"💔is emblematic of the Trump-Musk regime.
A middle school science teacher in Miami-Dade detained by ICE.
The teachers union confirmed today that the teacher attended his #immigration hearing & was detained.
He'd been in the US since his youth & had DACA. He'll likely be deported.
"ICE has arrested scores of migrants in the US who've no criminal records."
🚨Many ppl ICE is targeting are TPS, DACA...

Don't sleep on the importance of state and local government in opposing the dangerous policies of the current federal administration.
Pa. reacts to Trump closing White House gun violence office - WHYY

You'll all be pleased to know that we did not get off the ship today, so no photos. Had a great time in the hydrotherapy suite in the spa though.
Let’s not forget, also, that Tuberville was FIRED from coaching. Hardly a great coach. https://www.al.com/news/2025/02/patrick-mahomes-disputes-tommy-tubervilles-texas-tech-recruitment-claim-after-trump-flub.html
