My dinky, rural school district is being faced with an onslaught of these "candidates." One of them was so outre in her behavior that the school board meetings were moved permanently to Zoom (link below).

Luckily, the teacher's union and better-informed parents are speaking out against this nonsense.

BIG sign today that the Mar-a-Lago case is headed toward indictments and trial:

Trump lawyer Evan Corcoran is recusing himself from representing Trump in the case.

Why is that important? Because a lawyer cannot rep a client at trial if they will likely be a WITNESS at trial.

I DON'T WANT SELF DRIVING CARS!!!!

✔️ I want boring things like public transit that comes so regularly I don't need to check a schedule.

✔️ I want fast passenger rail so accessible and easy it's preferable to suffering airports.

✔️ I want cities that aren't built around cars-as-default

✔️ I want the country to own it.

Trump says if he's elected he will force federal workers to pass a political test — then fire anyone who doesn't meet his standard

So, anyone who wants to uphold their oath of office? Fired.

Anyone with knowledge of the constitution? Fired.

Passing the civil service exam? Fired and sent to the Gulag.

It's fascism folks!

Slavery is a bloody mark of shame on this country’s history. To ban or curtail the study of this extremely important subject could only benefit those who seek to further injustice and inequality.

This stuff is not controversial.

It's a big deal now because conservatives need a marginalized group to hate and bully. And Republicans in power know how to keep their seals clapping.

#Fox seriously did this during the #Dominion lawsuit. They actually took out a full-pager that starts with “Trusted Now. More than ever….America is watching.”

We sure are!

Should access to sufficient food for you and your family be a basic human right?

@chad So the leader of the Canadian conservative party just attacked our national broadcaster with the help of foreign influence? Not exactly prime ministerial material, is he.

A real “pro-life” movement would ban assault rifles while enacting Medicare for All, paid sick leave, universal childcare, and a living wage.

Atheism isn't a religion.
It's a personal relationship with reality.
