Hate crimes are more than acts of violence — they target people because of who they are. And the impact goes beyond the victim, affecting entire communities. This #HateCrimesAwarenessMonth, take time to understand what a hate crime is, how we can help prevent them and more: bit.ly/4hnxRRs

To be fair, it is not a new issue. I made the argument that our defense budget was subsidized through poverty eradication programs in a debate tournament in 1980. I won.

Since the whole 250 celebration was a washout i think we need to rethink. After all, 1776 was just the US recording some homemade demos with no record deal. Followed by years of violent touring & a first contract no one could agree on. 1789 was the real debut album for America. See y'all in 13 years

According to a press release, the DOJ has renamed "one of its divisions" the Energy and Natural Resources Division. The release does NOT mention the previous name of the division — Environment and Natural Resources — because that would give the game away. First civil rights. Now the environment.

The only upside of today’s SCOTUS ruling that Mango for Brains can fire independent agency heads willy nilly is that the main reason the president has not had that power for the last century is that a denied job applicant shot and killed a president.

The only saving grace of this indictment is that it points out how this administration, amazingly, is more incompetent than evil. But it’s still a close race.

In some ways, walking through D.C. today was distressing. The Claw hovers in front of the White House. The Ellipse is a huge barren pitching mound. Barricades block the way between the Washington Monument and the Reflecting Pool, which is turning black. But Union Station is still beautiful.

We are still fighting to have Royal, Florida, properly reflected on the National Register of Historic Places. Although it has been placed on the Register, the DeSantis administration has resisted the nomination at every turn. Now the challenge is to get all of the historic property protected.

Historic listing for Black Florida community a step forward, but more is needed
Many residents of Royal, Florida, believe that what has complicated the community’s efforts to secure an accurate listing does not rest on its history.

All you need to know about how far the Republicans Party has fallen: a day after Texas voters selected Paxton as their Senate nominee, both his opponent and the leader of the Senate — traditional Rs who are supposed to be the adults in the room — have endorsed his candidacy. They are all spineless.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

Rather than being a block against audits, the fact that that fucking mango ass wanted his family’s tax returns exempted from scrutiny makes an extensive probe of the entire Trump family — and entourage — a prerequisite for the next administration. Prosecute every single infraction.

@sicilianrick.bsky.social this isn't a new insurrection any more than the latest violence in Iran is a new war. This battle has been going on since the 1970s. In fact, I'd say this whole effort began in earnest on Aug. 6, 1965 — the day the Voting Rights Act was passed.

I had a conversation yesterday with a guy who argued that blue and green make purple. He’s not colorblind. But he is also a solid MAGA conspiracy preacher. It takes a special kind of commitment to your own belief in the face of empirical evidence to do either — or both — of those things.
