61% of kids who take vouchers in Florida drop out after two years and return to public schools, far behind their peers. x.com/adamlabay/status/16426…

Republicans arm child killers. The GOP must not just be defeated in the next election but, bit by bit, destroyed forever. The GOP is an armed death cult. The USA will not survive them. It is us or them. Questions?

Gov DeSantis if one black parent complained that they did not want George Washington's image shown in their schools because their child was made to feel uncomfortable (because Washington enslaved people) would the image be forbidden in that school system?

They had to portray Natives as “godless savages.” Because when you dehumanize an entire race of people — it makes it much more easier to genocide them. Native history IS U.S history. Teach it. All of it. To hopefully — prevent its repetition.

If I were white, I’d want my kids to learn about Indian boarding schools and the Native American genocide. Not to make them “woke.” But to help them grow into intelligent, compassionate, well informed adults.

Opinion: Republican state officials and legislators in Indiana and elsewhere now routinely apply 'woke' as a slur against proponents of more liberal social policies. indystar.com/story/opinion/2…

If ANYONE had a legit right to be pissed about an election being stolen, it was President Carter. Republicans told Iran NOT to release the hostages, that Reagan would win and give them a better deal. This news should have been revealed long before now, so that President Carter would be able to appreciate it. But he wouldn't have gone on a whine tour like trump. Instead, he'd just continue building houses for humanity. 💙 nyti.ms/3YTLQ52

Is there anything as unpatriotic as undermining a sitting present with a foreign country? The Republicans, at the very least, seem to lack a moral compass of democracy and fair play. Secret: One Man’s Story of Sabotaging Carter’s Re-election nyti.ms/3LzfWaR

BREAKING: Axios has fired journalist Ben Montgomery simply because he replied to a press release from fascist Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, calling the propaganda-ridden press release “propaganda.” This is an attack on free speech. Ron DeSantis’ team literally got Montgomery fired for the mere action of him expressing his free speech. DeSantis is the same Republican hypocrite who repeatedly and obnoxiously claims how much he supports “freedom.” This is just another shining example of how Republicans support freedom only when it benefits themselves, but they also support fascism when it benefits themselves as well. I beg all of my followers to please go and give Montgomery (@gangrey) a follow on Twitter to show you support Free speech and please share this with your friends.

McCarthy called TFG to stop the 1.6.21 insurrection. He knows what happened that day. Carlson knows what happened and still backed Trump. Fox knows what happened and allowed Carlson to fix the tapes provided by Kevin to show a peaceful gathering. Liars! #StopGOPLies #Fresh

Can you tell who is legally able to carry a gun and who isn’t? The answer: You can't until it’s already too late. We placed this full page ad in the Miami-Herald to show just how dangerous and negligent Governor DeSantis’s permitless carry bill is. #flleg

Take 6 minutes to watch Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL) tear into House GOP’s proposed “Parents Bill of Rights.” “You are crafting a ludicrous, fake, waste of time, a bunch of bull that you call a Parents’ Bill of Rights ... Your third grade teacher’s shaking her head in shame.”

The greatness of America is found in its people and how we peacefully transfer power from administration to administration. The Presidency is not and should not be an office of vengeance or retribution. Instead, it should be an office of consistent and unwavering leadership.

Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump, & the MAGA cult would like us to believe this is a video of peaceful tourists, and somehow the J6 Committee are the ones committing treason. George Orwell could never have imagined this level of gaslighting, & doublespeak.

You may not be LGBTQ, Black, an immigrant, woman, student, teacher, professor, blogger, newspaper, elected prosecutor, a business with an opinion, or gun violence victim… …but eventually the black hole that is Ron DeSantis’ culture wars will consume you and your freedoms too.
