Judge person’s character by how they treat people who can't reciprocate, who can't increase their social standing and, most importantly, how they treat people who can’t fight back.

When I was hungry, you passed a city ordinance against groups who would have given me free food.

When I was thirsty, you removed the public water fountains.

When I was tired, you made sleeping in public places illegal.

When I was a stranger, you told me I had better leave before you came back with your gun.

When I was sick, you said "Maybe he'll die and that'll be one less we have to worry about."

When I was in prison, you said "He is finally where he belongs, thank God."

When I was executed, you said to everyone, "This is why we follow the Lord and obey the Good Book in my house."

“Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums and the arts — to prevent us from learning. It’s Fascism 101.”
~ Robert Reich

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Back at Broadview where conservative stream Ben Bergquam and Proud Boy Terry Newsome stopped by to harass protesters. ISP separated them and made them come across the street by press.

Bergquam was embedded with ICE last month — my story: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

The Republicans want to go back to when women experiencing problems "down there" were too mortified to go to the doctor despite their discomfort and didn't have the language to even describe what was happening, because "down there" was a mystery. You know, MODESTY.
