“In practice, this means any nonprofit, faith group, or donor working on causes the administration dislikes can be accused of aiding “domestic terrorism.” It’s an enormous and chilling expansion of government power over civil society, free speech, and freedom of religion.”

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.

…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.

…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.

The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

Your child did not choose to be gay, but did choose to be honest with you about it. 🏳️‍🌈

Showing unconditional love and acceptance will have a huge positive impact on their life.

Your child’s journey to coming out is a personal decision that should only occur when they are ready.

@whitehouse.senate.gov I was so upset to see her talk to you the way she did that it took me a while before I came to that simple conclusion: she couldn't bring herself to simply say no. Kudo to your self restraint.
THERE ARE PICTURES. OH YES.

Israel has carried out murderous assaults on Gaza for decades, cynically, “mowing the lawn.” No peace accord …has ever gotten in the way. This one will be no exception.
This bloody saga is not over. Israel’s goals remain unchanged: the dispossession and erasure of Palestinians from their land.

There will be no peace in Gaza. Only the temporary absence of war.

Who gave the U.S. the authority to send to Gaza an “International Stabilization Force,” a polite term for foreign occupation?

How are Palestinians supposed to reconcile themselves to the acceptance of an Israeli “security barrier” on Gaza’s borders, confirmation that the occupation will continue?

“I mean, sometimes books happen. And more than any other book this book happened because I thought it HAD to happen, right? There was something in me that thought it had to happen. This HAD to happen.”

LESSON]

Investigate.

Figure things out for yourself. Spend more time with long articles. Subsidize investigative journalism by subscribing to print media. Realize that some of what is on the internet is there to harm you. Learn about sites that investigate propaganda campaigns (some of which come fron abroad). Take responsibility for what you communicate with others.

"What is truth?" Sometimes people ask this question because they wish to do nothing. Generic cynicism makes us feel hip and alternative even as we slip along with our fellow citizens into a morass of indifference.

It is your ability to discem facts that mokes you an individual, and our collective trust in common knowledge
that makes us a society. The
individual who investigates is also the citizen who builds. The leader who dislikes the investigators is a potential tyrant.

In 2016, an American presidential candidate claimed on a Russian propaganda outlet that American media has been unbelievably dishonest." He banned many reporters from his rallies, and regularly elicited hatred of journalists from the public.

Like the leaders of authoritarian regimes, he promised to suppress freedom of speech by laws that would prevent crificism. As president, he used the word lies to mean facts not to his liking, and called journalists enemies of the people (as Hitler and the Nazis had done) Where the Nazis said "Lugenpresse, he said "Fake news.”

That president was on friendlier terms with the internet, his source for erroneous information that he passed on to millions of people.

In 1981, 65% of households could live in the middle class on a single paycheck. Today, after the shift to “reject socialism” and cut taxes on the rich, only about 47% manage that even with two incomes. Rebuilding a broad middle class is not nostalgia; it’s the foundation of a functioning democracy.

As Americans lose faith in capitalism, Trump’s economic nationalism looks less like free enterprise and more like state control…
