Well, Dems messaging is failing, so that is not "so called". But the No Kings marches should have been the front page of every newspaper around the country.

And even that headline was too much. They changed it and the entire article is Israel's propaganda.

Trump: "I'm allowed as you know as president, like 50% of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act. Everybody agrees you're allowed to use that and there is no more court cases, there is no more anything. We're trying to do it in a nicer manner, but we can always use the Insurrection Act."

Just for the record, the "if Kamala won we'd all be at brunch" signs are the most tonedeaf fucking signs ever. Don't co-opt an important moment where people are fighting for their literal existence by saying that neolib shitbags are better. Fight for what matters, not Dems who literally DGAF.

I feel like the dipshit who starred in Religulous shouldn't be quoting the Bible as a history book.

Yes they actually love Hitler, yes they actually want a king, yes they actually want to jail the people that disagree with them.

A middle total revenue split with owners. There would be no poor teams in small markets. Everyone would play under the same rules. But the media, even the fans put this on players for a salary cap. No. This is on the owners, all of whom are rich enough to spend more but don't because profits>winning

As a Brewers fan, I get to hear other fans bemoan the inequities of a system without a salary cap. Nobody ever forces the owners to decide on a 100% revenue sharing split across all teams like the NBA or NFL have. If you had those a salary cap might be possible because players could negotiate

What do you think made America great?

I’ve traveled the world, and every time I come home, I’m reminded of what makes this place special: the culture, the mix of people, the constant diversity. I love this country.

And I also know who truly hates America:

• The KKK
• 3 Percenters
• Proud Boys

South Koreans held their government accountable earlier this year. And now they’re protesting for American’s rights and democracy on No Kings too!

Thank you South Korea! #NoKings ❌👑

No kid should ever have to protest or advocate for their friends’ basic humanity.

But they’re standing up at No Kings anyway.

A little boy holds a handmade sign with hearts glued to it. It reads, “leave my friends ALONE Donald Trump”. He’s bravely protesting at the No Kings Evanston protest.

It's worse than this. K12, the biggest school learning software company is using AI to build their lessons now, with no human checks to see what is in said lessons. Those are compiled from pieces of real curriculum at least, their plan is AI writes all curriculum in near future.

All religious laws are incompatible with the constitution, that includes evangelical right wing bullshit.

Kerry deserves all the credit for the Iranian deal. Obama had a number of staffers that were unhappy with him over brokering it.

Valid point

The basic explanation was Obama wasn't Bush and Bush and Cheney were globally detested for fabricating evidence to start a war of choice that destabilized a region and handed it over to terrorists.

It wasn't a valid reason.
