I never knew that in the United States literally the president can do anything as long as everybody agrees not to stop them. Very weird, realizing the entire thing was made of cotton candy

This is the kind of open corruption and theft of citizens money that ends governments forever.

I for one am not comfortable paying taxes to Trump or the fascists running the country and if he is just stealing our money in this way I feel no need to give the government taxes.

Breaking News: President Trump wants $230 million from the Justice Department for investigating him, people familiar with the matter say. Any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit. nyti.ms/4hmIi5X

PHILLY: Apparently there’s a protest “against gun violence scheduled to start at 3pm today and go from the Art Museum into Kensington. The chuds *will be armed and open-carrying* and several local schools have already sent students home out of caution. Cops are already at the Art Museum.

Email text:

Good morning Freire Families -
Freire Charter High School will dismiss at 1PM today. All students must go directly home and all after school activities are cancelled.
At 10:30 today all Center City Schools were called to an urgent and unscheduled meeting around school safety.
Law Enforcement has advised all schools in Center City to dismiss early. They didn't give great detail, but shared that there is a planned protest happening today at 3PM and some of the participants have Open-Carry permits and may be brandishing firearms/assault weapons down the Parkway and into Center City.
There is some level of uncertainty and the potential for counter-protests.
We are working with the other schools in the area and law enforcement for a staggered dismissal. Freire Charter High School will dismiss at approximately 1PM after they report to their 5th period classes. With the protest planned for 3PM, there is not any indication of immediate safety concerns and dismissing at 1PM.
This allows for time for the other center city schools to dismiss (starting at 11:30) and for the crowds to thin out before our community dismisses.
The current plan is for students to report to their 5th period class at
1PM and classrooms will be dismissed individually so we can have a safe and orderly dismissal.
I apologize for the inconvenience and I can assure you we have moved swiftly and thoughtfully in how to pivot on short notice.

All after-school activities will be cancelled or postponed. The Philadelphia Police Department
(PPD) will be in the area of the planned protest.
I want to reiterate that the safety and wellbeing of our students and staff are our top priority.

Sincerely,
Tomás Hanna

We have a lot to do and not much time to do it. Basic media and political literacy is the absolute bare minimum because it means understanding the problem and what needs to happen. This constant state of chosen amnesia isn’t going to cut it anymore.

And even if the shutdown ends, they won't seat her. Mike will never seat anyone. So don't end the shutdown.

Also this is prep for midterms 2026. Remember this? This is from before the 2024 election when Trump thought he might lose. We never found out what this secret plan was.

It is a scandal totally unprecedented in history that the Vice President has shared a video depicting the President as king. It’s an obscene violation of every founding American principle.

And nothing will come of it. It makes me physically sick.

The polar bear was in Wayland in the morning and I believe I heard her say she was going to Concord (or Lexington) next. Props for a long day in a big suit.
