For the 1st time in my 17 yr career as an English teacher, I have started to give a spelling test. They had a week to study and we covered it in class every single day of the week before they took the test. Just 5 words. I even have a giant “imagine” John Lennon poster in the room. 🤪😭

If you’re in Anchorage, Alaska, swing by Eva‘s cupcakery located in Mountain View. Absolutely delicious. Make sure you get yourself a coffee while you’re there. The Glenn Square businesses have really been suffering from some vandalism issues. Support small businesses in Anchorage. 🩷🙏🏻

We were all talking and just wanted to say thank you for supporting the resistance and for keeping up the fight every day. Some days are tough and it can feel like we’re getting nowhere, but we are winning. So seriously, thank you!

Happy Labor Day! Today, we celebrate the victories we often take for granted: the 8-hour workday, the weekend, paid time off, fair wages, and safe working conditions. Thank you to the labor movement and unions everywhere for fighting to build the middle class and protect all workers. ✊

Fetterman is not only a terrible, lazy senator who was supported by his parents until his mid-40s, he’s just a garbage human being. No surprise he ended up as a regular Fox contributor where he feels most at home.

Imagine trying to scare me “Sharia Law” while I live under a GOP supermajority trying to reinstate an abortion ban, while writing bills to put the 10 Commandments in public schools and ban books and free speech. I have nothing to fear, except the Christian nationalists in front of me.

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

While working at a Planet Fitness, I was watching our local Fox channel playing a homage to African-American leaders for a Juneteenth celebration. Then I looked over to ESPN and their version of celebrating Juneteenth was to play a documentary of the summer of 1994 when O.J. Simpson killed his wife.

Just spent $66.05 at McDonald’s for a family of five. 🤯 Nothing extravagant was ordered. Everybody got a value meal and it had a couple of desserts. W.T.F! Does it actually cost that much or is McDonald’s trying to take advantage of the economy situation? 😭

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates. Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them. The system is rigged.

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October. Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year. Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce. Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress beforehand, or our allies, or coherently explain to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

Bill Hill is so close. But he can’t say he won’t caucus with pedophile protectors, war mongers, and moral bankruptcy. He’s just so close, but he still dances around the truth. That makes me sad. For that I’ll rank him second unless this changes.

About 70% of the U.S. economy runs on consumer spending. But as wealth concentrates at the top, the richest 10% can’t spend enough to sustain it — while everyone else can’t afford to. Reminder that trickle-down economics simply doesn’t make sense. It’s a hoax.

Just like Venezuela does not send fentanyl to the U.S. and Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction. It’s all been false flags to justify military aggression and war.
Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting CNN: “We’re told that Pentagon briefers did make a stark acknowledgment, and that was that there was no indication that Iran was preparing to preemptively strike U.S. bases.” Below is a CNN split-screen segment showing a female anchor on the left and a male correspondent on the right. A red “BREAKING NEWS” banner reads: “SOURCES: BRIEFERS TO CONGRESS UNDERCUT WHITE HOUSE CLAIM OF IMMINENT IRANIAN THREAT.”
