Today's teachers and professors regularly use "slides" in their classrooms. I wonder how many use these slide projectors. It's called a Magic Lantern projector.

I’d be happy if they just had common sense.
We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.
A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”
Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

Trump and Republicans claim they want to "protect children."
But they've rolled back child labor laws and environmental protections, blocked gun safety reform, and spread lies about vaccines that save children from deadly diseases.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Trump is blatantly weaponizing the justice system to attack his political enemies while handing out pardons to his crooked allies and those who will commit violence on his behalf. So much for “law and order.” [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

lol. I live in Texas. I’m surrounded. I’ve done events where I’m the only non Trump supporter. I actually understand their perspective. Do you ?
