Apparently, Florida’s school voucher program wasn’t meant for everyone after all just Christians. Who knew? Muslim families trying to use the program for their kids’ education have apparently committed the unthinkable: exercising the very freedom the vouchers are supposed to guarantee.

Florida Republicans are furious that Muslims are using a voucher program meant to boost Christianity

The same lawmakers who voted to send taxpayer funds to private Christian schools are panicking now that Muslim schools are participating in the program

In education politics and policy, we are repeating the tactics of the early Nazis that led to the downfall of democracy.

‘It’ always starts with words. We can track the genesis of genocide in similar ways. First they stereotype and discriminate. Then they become prejudicial. From there it’s ‘easy’ to dehumanise, divide, and attack. Once there is an ‘us’ and a clearly stigmatised ‘them’, then persecution is fair game.

I’ve spent the last 3 days tracking right-wing influencers morning and night. What I found is a machine, not a movement. Every day follows the same rhythm of fear, outrage, and punishment. It’s emotional conditioning disguised as news. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

It's no coincidence, they targeted SNAP months ago.

House Speaker Mike Johnson signed bill cutting $186B from SNAP in July 2025

Users shared this true claim amid uncertainty regarding whether Americans would receive federal food benefits during the 2025 government shutdown.

“A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.”

-John Adams

People should sit with this.
Because the warning wasn’t about kings in 1776.
It is about us, and what happens when we decide one man is above the law.

For the past 10 years, the right wings have owned the narrative on social media. The democrats lost contact with the ground especially the young generations by being way too conventional.

Mamdani and AOC are breaking that wall and challenging them on their field.

U-turn starts today! ↩️🇺🇲🌍⚖️

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.

I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

Many of the propagandists of Autocracy, Inc., have learned from the mistakes of the twentieth century. They don’t offer their fellow citizens a vision of utopia, and they don’t inspire them to build a better world. Instead, they teach people to be cynical and passive, because there is no better world to build. Their goal is to persuade people to mind their own business, stay out of politics, and never hope for a democratic alternative: Our state may be corrupt, but everyone else is corrupt too. You may not like our leader, but the others are worse. You may not like our society, but at least we are strong and the democratic world is weak, degenerate, divided, dying.

It’s worth remembering that Nigeria has a population of 233 million in a country about 1.5x the size of Texas — up about 50 million in the past 15 years. Roughly 1 in 4 black Africans is Nigerian. It contributes about 10% of the sub-Saharan African economy.

Trump, Hegseth, and senior military commanders murdered 3 more people last night and the homicides near 100 people, and they expect you to take their word for it that they were transporting drugs and accept it. They murder whoever they want whenever they want.

Fwiw Nigeria has a functioning if flawed democratic government recognized as legitimate (US included) isn't under major UN or US sanctions or any other way considered a 'rogue state' or failed state or other typical justifications for the use of armed force. Nor is the US being attacked.

The president does not have authority to set tariffs by abusing an emergency power. 200+ members of Congress filed an amicus brief in our tariffs lawsuit, agreeing.

We’ll be at the Supreme Court next week making the case for why the court needs to hold the president accountable.

These two morons have us gearing up for war in Nigeria and Venezuela after previous strikes on Yemen and Iran and intervention in Gaza, we are beginning nuclear testing for the first time in 33 years, and all this comes after threatening Greenland, Panama and Canada.
