Philadelphia’s slavery exhibit is restored at President’s House Site “This is the American people fighting back and saying we will not accept this,” said one Independence Mall visitor. “Will not allow history to be rewritten.”

The legal resistance is working. We will continue the fight to protect American history and science at all national parks sites.

More snow in the forecast? If I ever see that groundhog I will have some exceptionally unpleasant words for him.

How dangerous is it really to work for ICE? According to ICE’s own data, none of its officers have been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s history.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Reminded of Roger A Freeman (advisor to Reagan). During a press conference on October 29th 1970, he stated "We are in danger of producing an educated proletariat", adding "We have to be selective on who we allow to go through [higher education]".

Folks, saying ABOLISH ICE isn't hard. Quite easy. The water is warm here. Jump in. Mainstream it. People will follow.

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

The Moldovan people have spoken. Sunday's election results are clear: the Moldovans are united in our desire for peace, democracy, and Europe — and in the courage to defend them.
This is not just a party's victory — it is Moldova's victory. The European path is our way forward.

Is the Wild Card round #good? I dunno.

Is the Wild Card round an enjoyable 2-3 days of television? You bet your sweet bippy.

I don’t know this general, but his thousand yard stare is ALL of us since this Regime began. Imagine having to sit through Trump floating using the military on Americans & his Secretary of “War” ranting about fat soldiers & grooming. It gave seriously awkward SNL skit vibes. 😳

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.

Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.

We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

The boat full of civilians Donald Trump mass murdered in the Caribbean had already turned around by the time the US decided to kill them.

Rear Adm. Donald J. Guter: “If someone is retreating, where’s the ‘imminent threat’ then?” “Where’s the ‘self-defense’?"

Holy shit! If your package doesn’t show up, this might be why…

Approximately 67 shipping containers fell off a cargo ship at the Port of Long Beach on Tuesday morning, the U.S. Coast Guard confirms. No injuries have reported.

Yes, they did. And what can be done, realistically, to demolish this corrupt institution, and start anew?
