I would say this: I don't care what you think about trans people. The essence of America is that people here get to live their lives however they want, as long as they're not hurting anyone else. You don't get a vote on that. Trans people aren't hurting you, so leave them alone.

Here’s my proposal: We declare August 25 a national holiday, dedicated to children’s literacy. Every year, on Dolly Day, we spend the day exchanging books and listening to music. In the meantime, here’s the link to donate: donate.imaginationlibrary.com

Make a donation and support Dolly Parton's Imagination Library in communities around the world and help put more books into the hands of more children.

This man gleefully and illegally caused the premature and painful deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He was told at the time his actions would cause their deaths, and he thought it was funny.

I’m glad Congressman Landsman & his team were able to help this specific constituent, but the Trump administration is deliberately delaying DACA renewals, and it’s affecting hundreds of thousands of hard-working people who don’t deserve to be treated this way.

The thing is, legislators know that their vague laws don’t cover cases like this. They’ve been told. If they actually cared about women, they’d seek out experts to ensure that their laws protect exceptional cases. They do NOT care. They are 100% OK with women dying or having horrific outcomes.

Trump called up his Brownshirts. He sent them to attack the Capitol. He pardoned them of crimes they were convicted of by juries of their peers. Now he’s rewarding them, using taxpayer money, & empowering them to commit violence on his behalf again in the future. Following the fascism playbook.

If we’re lucky, we’ll look back on these days as the third rebirth of our nation. Minneapolis will have national monuments like Boston, and Philadelphia, and Gettysburg, commemorating the everyday patriots who stood up for liberty and justice for all.

My kid has been on a band trip to Disney, and now they’re supposed to be flying home. There are about 80 kids, plus directors & chaperones, so they are traveling in two groups. My kid’s group has a direct flight home, which is currently showing a 1.5 hour delay. (🤞) The other group, however…

“Committee Chair Jane Timken (R) argued that they don't need to consider “fairness” when making a congressional map. "The word fairness is not in the Constitution, correct?" Timken was met with extensive laughter and shock from the audience. Democrats were stunned to hear her say that out loud.”

People who are looking for a way to fight Trump, I have it for you in one name: Kilmar Abrego-Garcia. He's the poor guy who got pulled off the street, declared a gang member for no reason, then sent off to that hell-hole in El Salvador. Fight for him because this case will unravel everything. 🧵

“Prof Rothstein said the damage would not show up immediately due to lag effects.
The ugly months will be in April and May, but by then secondary shocks will have spread far and wide.

"There are all kinds of spillovers. Contracts for external contractors are being cut.
Nobody knows how much imports are going to cost next month, or if we are even going to have accurate weather forecasts any more.

"How could you hire in these conditions?
This is going to be very, very bad," he said.

Markets are implicitly betting that Trump's trade wars are just bluster, but he restated on Monday night that his 25pc tariffs against Mexico and Canada would go ahead next week, which would instantly snarl up the North American auto industry.”“Orville Schell, director of the Asia Society, says Trump is uncannily like his fellow agent of insurrection, Mao Zedong, who also revelled in permanent havoc as a governing method.

“The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution launched in 1966 weaponised the fanaticism of indoctrinated youth, urging them to rise up and "bombard the headquarters" of the deep state.”

People who are scholars of European history, as I am not, point out parallels to 1930s rise of fascism there. I have spent more time learning about China. Which is why I keep thinking about parallels to Cultural Revolution nihilism. (Article Jeremy Mayer) thehill.com/opinion/tech...
