Forgotten - or ignored - American history: When the country was created, they wondered what to do with the Catholics. New England became five states, and Virginia became three - because Delaware wanted no part of being a refuge for Catholics. The Church of England went home with the British.

So when is the Everyone Sits Down general strike happening?

Pete Hegseth must immediately resign or be removed. His complete disregard for procedure and overall gross incompetence is an ongoing threat to national security.

and most disturbingly, revoke Social Security cards by falsely declaring migrants dead in government systems. This isn’t policy. It’s targeted erasure.

Folks freaking out over Kristi Noem having over $3K in cash in her purse should understand that this isn't that unusual for Rich People. It's a far cry from my uncle who used to have $5K in his pocket in the 1960s "in case he wanted to buy a car" which would be around $40K today.

A couple of things ... First, I'm quite happy that I took the money from our investments in February to do the work planned this year. Second, the Dow has not reached the level it was at this time last year (any minute now, though), so it's going to be a while before I panic.

So they're trying to say that they will make up the revenue from cutting taxes on Americans, by raising taxes on imported goods. Americans will be able to have lower costs as long as they don't buy imported goods. Such as, but not limited to, coffee, tropical fruits, rice, chocolate...

NEW: Perkins Coie, the law firm targeted by Trump in an Executive Order, has now sued the Trump Administration in federal court alleging the EO is unconstitutional on several grounds, including violations of the First, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Two days ago, after pondering what my best course of action was, I deleted, closed, canceled, pick a verb, my Amazon account. On to getting shipments from All The Other Vendors that ship to the tag ends of everywhere.

Folks need to divest of more than Tesla stock to impact Mush. His other major holdings include X, PayPal, SpaceX, Neuralink and OpenAI. I quit X a while ago, but PayPal had been a tool for getting money to friends and family. NO MORE.

I love this!! Actress Cassandra Peterson, better known as her horror hostess character Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, has donated her Tesla to NPR. Keep Reposting #Swasticar #ElonSux

Scary times over at the Department of Justice www.cbsnews.com/news/justice...

Things they don't teach in parochial schools: After the American Revolution, they sent the Church of England home with the government. They didn't re-brand it as the Church of America. Catholics were allowed to live in three places: Rhode Island, Maryland and the southern tip of Manhattan.

Look, T has a blueprint to follow!!!

America needs a new political party, devoted to the folks who earn less than $100K annually, and have assets under $1 million dollars.

Our Southern Excursion got canceled due to the exhaust pipe breaking off the rented RV at the front end, and then Steve cutting his hand badly and needing to go to the ER. The KOA in Bowling Green KY then canceled our reservation due to flooding. We came home.

“A former senior Soviet KGB spy chief has claimed that Donald Trump was recruited as a spy by Russian intelligence as early as 38 years ago by his department, and given the codename ‘Krasnov’.”

@thedailyshow.com I want to know why followers of That Other Guy aren't being called Muskovites. Or just plain Mushers, although that might be an insult to folks who race sled dogs.

I have noticed that older women and men who weren't allowed to be their Authentic Self are some of the most determined folks when it comes to preventing other folks from doing what they couldn't do, rather than helping society change. "If I can't, no one can," is not a good motto.

The Good Wife, The Good Fight and Elsbeth. On Paramount+ and other sources. These cover ten years in a Chicago law firm plus two years of the character taking a job with a police office in Manhattan. Go watch them all the way from the beginning. I can't describe them in 100 words.

New button just dropped.

Some real Marshall McLuhan "you know nothing of my work" energy here

So why is he huffing about the Time magazine cover? www.cnn.com/2025/02/07/m...

Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution grants Congress the power of the purse through the Appropriations Clause, which states, “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.” This constitutes a violation of our Constitution.

Folks scared of sharing bathrooms with various flavors of THEM better never go bar-hopping in France. Just saying ...

This cannot be posted enough!

Two days ago, a small group of Nazis demonstrated on an overpass by Lincoln Heights, a historically Black community near Cincinnati. While no actual punches were thrown, I think chasing off Nazis, taking their flag and burning it earns a spot on the Nazi Punch of the Day. #NPotD #NaziPunching

This should be on every news station front and center! youtu.be/BIOaxR_UHIQ

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.

In 1860s, the Rs were the Party of Lincoln, and the Democrats were pro-Slavery. By the 1960s, the Dems had ousted the Dixiecrats in favor of being the Party of Labor, and the R's weren't winning. They found the "Southern Solution" wannabe Slave Owners changed sides. 50+ years later, here we are.

NASA scientists have found the basic building blocks of life in a pristine sample from asteroid Bennu, including 14 amino acids used by living things and all five genetic code components. https://buff.ly/40HkVw0 #ShareGoodNewsToo

I haven't had an Indiana Jones Nazi Punch of the Day yet? Time to remedy that. This clip is from Last Crusade. Fun fact: When asked what Indy would do about the "debate" over Nazi-punching, Ford said, "He’d push em out of the way to get in the first punch. As well he should." #NPotD #NaziPunching

Today's Nazi Punch of the Day is an important lesson from the 1980 film The Blues Brothers: how to punch Illinois Nazis with your car. (Over on Tumblr, it was pointed out that NPD refers to a mental illness, so I'm switching that tag to NPotD.) #NaziPunching #NPotD

We have to stop dividing our problems into “left and right" and start seeing our problems like “top vs bottom.” 737 billionaires in the U.S. have a combined wealth of 5.5 trillion. And they funneled it out of the middle class. Then Trump keeps us fighting with each other while they steal more.

Five inspectors general fired by Trump all have one thing in common: their agencies investigated Elon Musk's corporations. Musk's crusade against the government isn't about "waste" or "efficiency." It's about shielding himself from accountability. Robert Reich

Remember when we thought we were finally safe 4 years ago?? 💔

Spotted at the protest, Trump a jester for the oligarchy. (📷 @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social ) #3E #USprotests #r/50501 #feb5

The ongoing actions by Musk and his followers are a coup. Elon Musk was elected to no office and there is no office that would give him the authority to do what he is doing. It is all illegal. It is also a coup in its intended effects: to undo democratic practice and violate human rights.

🙆‍♀️

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

Okay, they can’t have #blackhistorymonth and Black people shouldn’t have to carry the ball on this one. I’ll start by lifting up my hero, #PauliMurray (1910-1985): legal scholar who designed the basis of Brown v Board of Education (and didn’t get any public credit). …

Onceuponatime, to spark an argument with my dad, I said, "It seems like white men, when they're young, find the black kids are better at basketball, the Mexican kids are better at soccer, and their sister is better at math. They can only compete if they don't let the others play." Dad's reply: Yup.
