I had a dog and when he was a puppy I refused to buy the Post to use the pages to potty train. I intentionally spent more on the Daily News. The Post isn’t good enough for a dog to pee on.

On this day 225 years ago, John Adams moved into the still-not-quite-complete White House, becoming the first president to occupy it. His blessing was carved into the State Dining Room mantel in 1945: "May none but Honest and Wise Men ever rule under This Roof.”

Unlikely he can find Nigeria on a map. He 💯 has no idea the country of 220m is nearly evenly split Muslim/Christian. He knows nothing about its history and conflicts. He 💯 knows Nigeria has oil and minerals.

Bill Moyers first hand account of LBJ in TN. "I'll tell you what's at the bottom of it. If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

Someone want to tell Mikey here that 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities?

Or that almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children?

And that Whites account for 37% of SNAP recipients?

He seems to perpetuate myths and insinuates the poor are only minorities in cities (“ghettos”). Meanwhile too many of the white rural folk who rely on SNAP and Medicaid will suffer and cheer this guy on. LBJ was right. Sad. PS - the party of family values doesn’t give a sh*t about kids.

If it’s as destructive as it could be, USAID would be on the ground to assist. No longer. Hopefully other countries can fill the gap.

How is this legal? Why is this not front page news? The fourth estate is not doing its job. For all we know the anonymous donor will expect an ROI by our military.

Trying to coverup history. What are they so afraid of?

ProPublica @propublica.org · 11d

Changes to Oklahoma’s curriculum rules make it so teachers aren’t supposed to tell students that the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 — a defining incident of racial violence in Oklahoma history — was perpetrated by racists.

➡️ Full story: https://propub.li/3WXTkFm

Article excerpt with a section of the second paragraph highlighted: State social studies standards for years have included discussion of how white Tulsans murdered as many as 300 Black people. But once the 2021 state law that restricted teaching about race and gender passed, some teachers avoided the topic.

The law prohibits teachers from singling out specific racial groups as responsible for past racism. It specifies that individuals of a certain race shouldn’t be portrayed as inherently racist, “whether consciously or unconsciously.” In addition to teachers’ licensure being on the line, repeated failure to comply would allow the state to revoke district accreditation, which could result in a state takeover.

When educators questioned how to teach about a race massacre without running afoul of the law, state legislators and the Tulsa County chapter of the conservative parent group Moms for Liberty weighed in to say that white people today shouldn’t feel shame and that the massacre’s perpetrators shouldn’t be cast as racists. A Moms for Liberty chapter representative did not respond to questions from ProPublica.

I just don’t think most people care. How many actually know this is happening? There is barely any interest or knowledge of history in this country. The only culture too many are interested in is gun culture and returning to the 50s.

So here's something everyone saying "just let him pay the troops" needs to consider.

Giving a President the ability to repurpose money meant for other things towards paying people means giving him the ability to repurpose money meant for paying people towards other things.

Bobby Kogan @bbkogan.bsky.social · 20d

Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything.

It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in.

Long thread.
