Florida wants to teach about "skills" slaves obtained in the antebellum south because "beneficent" slaveholders taught their slaves to read, write, blacksmithing, etc. They say this is supported by "scholars." Well, let's see what the scholars really say.../1

To use a child as bait? How much more vile can you get?

I would have more sympathy with web designers who refuse to serve certain people because of deeply held religious beliefs, if those certain people weren't always same-sex couples. Do they, e.g., refuse to serve people who are divorced, which Jesus himself condemns (Mt 19:9)?...

your reminder that the email lady was right about everything

The vast majority of the theft occurred in 2020. Worth noting that the Biden administration put into place the watchdogs Trump rejected.

Did not age well. Donald Trump in 2016: “ In my administration, I'm going to enforce all laws concerning the protection of classified information. No one will be above the law."

We have a national addiction problem. In 2022 Sean Hannity gleefully broadcast a private voicemail message: It’s Dad,” POTUS says “I’m calling to tell you I love you. I love you more than the whole world, pal. You gotta get some help. I don’t know what to do. I know you don’t, either. But I’m here, no matter what you need. I love you.” Hunter’s forced public path is about addiction. We saw what addiction can do- and it’s ugly. Hunter survived with love and support from his father and others. He is taking responsibility for his actions. Not everybody likes this. Some forces were pulling for him to fail. Joe Biden’s private words of support made public -bring hope and a pathway for those of us dealing with the same thing. I hope we can offer that to each other. #Addiction #DemVoice1 #FreshStrong

A good way to understand Exponentials: 1 million seconds ago was 11 days ago. 1 billion seconds ago was 1992 (31 years ago). 1 trillion seconds ago was 31,000 B.C.

As I said last year… If you’re starting with the premise that Donald Trump is a completely innocent, billionaire, ex-President then you have to ask yourself, where are all the lawyers?

This case fills me with such a pervasive sadness. That a president would do what Trump did and that his party would continue to support him should be unthinkable.

My Grandmother always cooked tasty food. But one day, she put a burnt pie in front of my Grandpa. Not just a little burnt, but black as coal. I waited to see what my Grandpa would say. But he just ate the pie and asked how my day was. Then i heard my Grandmother apologize to him for his dinner. I'll never forget his response. "Dear, i like ur pie." Later, i asked him if he had told the truth. He put his arm on my shoulder and said, "Your Grandma had a tough day at work." "She was tired." "The burnt pie didn't harm me but, a sharp word could've hurt her." We all make mistakes. We shouldn't focus on mistakes but, support those we love.

Domestic spending is 40% lower than it was in 1980. What has killed us is the Bush and Trump tax cuts, which have added trillions to the national debt.

While others are engaged in the business of bigotry, Michigan is doing things differently: ✅ Repealed our 1931 abortion ban 🏳️‍🌈 Expanded LGBTQ rights 🔒 Signed gun safety laws 💲 Boosted the Working Families Tax Credit Looking for a new state to call home? Come to Michigan.

POTUS took a dozen tax loopholes to MAGA McCarthy, and Republicans shot down every single one! Instead, a million thrown off Meals on Wheels, 30,000 law enforcement positions lost — oh and ~800k jobs lost plus possible recession *according to their own plan.*

It is particularly rich to listen to my GOP colleagues accuse anyone of being soft on crime while they defend a violent mob who attacked and injured 150 members of law enforcement on Jan 6. 5 months into this Congress and @GOPOversight has done nothing but waste our time.
