Save Your Child from Autocracy and Poverty! In 1917 the U.S. started the war savings stamps program, with incredible poster such as this. Sadly, this is us here and NOW! It is an internal message. Autocracy wants poverty and dismantling of rights for a one-party, one person rule. #resist

New in PN: Make America Weak
"It's become clear that Trump's efforts to sabotage America’s economic, political, and defense relationships with major democracies abroad are part and parcel of 'policies' he’s been pursuing at home — all calculated to make our nation more susceptible to autocracy."

Bad move for the Kansas City Chiefs. The Legends area is where the NASCAR track and Sporting KC stadium are located there's no reason to go out there, zero. They should have found a place near the state line or river, like the new KC Current stadium, at least the branding stays Kansas City. 👎

Income isn’t supposed to play a role in how much housing assistance FEMA gives families.
But in some North Carolina counties, the highest-income homeowners received two to three times as much money after Hurricane Helene as those with lower incomes.
