You can ban DEI, erase the Tuskegee Airmen, gut Medicare, and ignore climate change—but you can’t erase our memories or silence our truths. Dumb down your MAGAs all you want. Our communities will keep learning, teaching, and fighting. We will never dumb down. #FactsMatter #TruthMatter

Similar surveys have been done in the US in Canada. It seems like dumbing down the generations is really working to the advantage of the Nazis.

The number of people who think that the Nazis only put the Jews into concentration camps is alarming.

Trump supporters are already spinning excuses for why he can’t lower egg prices. Their mental gymnastics to defend his broken promises are wild. It’ll be fascinating—and tragic—to see how far they’ll go, even justifying starving to death for him. Cult loyalty knows no bounds.
Eggs may be expensive forever
It's not just bird flu that's causing egg prices to soar. Here's why they've gotten so expensive — and are likely to stay sky-high.

If you see someone sleeping in their car, no you didn’t. People just trying to find a safe place for the night aren’t your problem. What kind of person reports that? Mind your business and let folks rest. The world’s hard enough without you making it harder.

On the last day of a Democratic presidency, you can’t help but wonder: how many decades before we see another? Will Trump cement his hold on the GOP, or will someone like Vance challenge him? The future feels uncertain, but history shows nothing stays static for long.
