They lynched Allen Brooks—and sold postcards of it. 10,000 watched. Kids cheered. No one was charged. They called it justice. We call it genocide. Now they’re banning books so you never find out. 📚 ERASED tells the truth they fear. Read it before they erase that too: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

One of my favorite advertising tropes from the early-mid 60's, was the insistent shoehorning of the Beatles and rock n roll music into ads by people who clearly had never actually seen or heard of the Beatles or rock n roll music (Family Fare in Holland, Michigan 1964)

“Mr. Trump is already undercutting the separation of powers at the heart of the constitutional system, and the right question now is how it will transform the nation” — not whether we are undergoing a constitutional crisis, which understates how deep the problem is. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/u...

My fraternity, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, has a creed you have to memorize and try to live up to called “The True Gentleman.” Curious if you think our current president is a “true gentleman”?

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I think Marco Rubio probably needs to be sent back to school.. When you arbitrarily rip up trade agreements, threaten a country, and say you’re going to break it, that’s an act of war. And Canadians have responded in kind.

French MEP Raphaël Glucksmann says the US should give back the Statue of Liberty: "We’re going to say to the Americans who have chosen to side with the tyrants, to the Americans who fired researchers for demanding scientific freedom: ‘Give us back the Statue of Liberty.’"

Let's not be glib. This is harassment. There should be a class action suit at Elon Musk for sending an unauthorized threat letter to thousands of individuals who do not work for him. Period. He's making everyone stressed. 🚬😎

If I had to respond to an email as a federal employee asking me what I did at work last week, I'd make sure to list all the duties I had to absorb because of mass illegal firings, followed by a description of what the EPA's Walter Peck did in Ghostbusters.

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

There is no such fucking thing as being “too woman” to pilot a helicopter, “too gay” to land a plane or “too black” to be an air traffic controller. There is however, such a thing as being too hateful, too stupid & too sociopathic to be president. And we call that Donald Trump.

Tucker Carlson calls President Zelensky a “dictator” in the same interview where he criticized Churchill, blamed him for WWII, and declared, “Putin isn’t my enemy.” The fact that this man has the ear of the president and vice president of the US, should alarm every freedom-loving American.
