So I came across the UNC tuition history chart this morning which got me thinking how has college changed over the decades. Not only is Tuition 85% of a graduates pay today, but in the 1940's (numbers back then seem sketchy) but it was only 7% of a graduates pay.

Well looked at social media and news for 10 minutes guess I am done for the week. Seems like the only thing we have left is an uprising. For those who think this isn't going to impact you, it will not stop until it has to stop.

Presidents of both parties have abused Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to spy on Americans’ communications without a warrant. Tell Congress to protect our Fourth Amendment rights and vote NO on Section 702: aclu.org/stopsection702

Do I do enough? I vote, I speak out, I go to protests, but what do I do at home? I do speak out, but should I be doing more, and if so, what? When I go to a protest, it is only me I don't risk anything for anyone else. I don't do local protests because I worry about my job.

As an old white man if there is a revolution and afterwards they looks at old white men as tye problem that must be solved. I would have no argument other than it wasnt me, which would also be said by the guy in the maga hat next to me.

BREAKING: Tennessee legislators just voted to further erode the rights of Black voters across the state by redrawing our congressional districts. Voting rights and representation are not up for debate. We’ll see Governor Lee in court.

Congress is still debating reauthorizing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, a law the government has repeatedly abused to spy on Americans without a warrant. If passed without meaningful reforms, all of our rights are in danger. Congress must vote NO.

Jeff Bezos and his wife are the lead sponsors of tonight's Met Gala. Now seems like a good time to remind folks of all the ways Bezos is shafting American consumers and Amazon workers — and how his wealth is putting our democracy at risk. https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/amazon-ceo-jeff-bezos

SHARE If Americans vote overwhelmingly for Dems & give them at least 60 Senate Seats & at least 300 House seats not only could they Impeach & Remove entire corrupt regime- but they would have votes to remove the corrupt SCOTUS Justices Too! Hope that gives you some incentive to get everyone out.

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces. 249 years later, we have this idiot.
