Just one man retweeting what needs to be heard, and occasionally adding my own two cents.

America’s democracy problem is also a literacy problem:

“More than half (54%) of Americans between the ages of 16 and 74 read below the equivalent of a sixth-grade level, according to a piece published in 2022 by APM Research Lab.” @snopes.

Just brainstorming here, but maybe Supreme Court justices should not be allowed to hear cases where they have a conflict of interest.

Lindsey Graham used $350,000 of campaign money to pay Jones Day, the law firm that unsuccessfully tried to get him out of testifying about attempts to overthrow the 2020 election in Fulton County, Georgia. @Forbes

NEW: Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, pressed 29 Republican state lawmakers in Arizona to set aside Joe Biden’s popular vote victory and “choose” presidential electors.

Tax cuts for the wealthy have long drawn support from Republicans who argue that such measures will “trickle down” and eventually boost jobs and incomes.

A study by LSE* says 50 years of such tax cuts have only helped one group — the rich. (2021)

BREAKING: Republican House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy gives his WORST defense yet of Trump’s theft of top secret documents.

When a reporter asked him today if it’s a “good look” for Trump to have boxes in a bathroom,” McCarthy’s responded by telling the reporter that, “A bathroom door locks.”

Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin immediately responded to Kevin McCarthy, laughing and telling CNN, “Well, that’s the first that I have ever seen that particular defense, but is he suggesting that these boxes of classified documents got up and locked the door after people left the bathroom? I’m not quite sure I follow the logic.”

Simply laughable…

Trump is desperately lashing out and circling the drain — and he’s going to take Kevin McCarthy and the rest of his Republican enablers down with him.

Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Kevin McCarthy is a dangerous fool — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new Twitter competitor that is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKj4Hp

Wanna know a secret?

90% of the GOP Congress wants Trump to be indicted and permanently out of their hair.

They won’t tell you that, because they also want to be able to go on TV, pretend to be outraged and fundraise off of it.

BREAKING NEWS: Rolling Stone drops bombshell on Trump, reveals that he has been demanding that his “close advisors” find out the “names of senior FBI agents and Justice Department personnel who have worked on the federal probes into him” so that he can retaliate against them by “immediately purging the FBI and Justice Department’s ranks” of each and every single investigator who has investigated his deadly insurrection, Big Lie, and theft of highly classified documents.

But it gets worse.

Rolling Stone continues, “Separately, the twice-impeached former president has been saying for many months that on “day one” of his potential second term, he wants FBI director Christopher Wray “out” of the bureau” because he has refused to “purge the FBI of non-Trump loyalists.”

Rolling Stone continues, reporting that, “During some of the conversations this year, including at Trump’s Florida club Mar-a-Lago, some of Trump’s close political allies told him that they are working on figuring out the identities of the FBI and DOJ staff and forming lists.”

This should strike fear in the heart of every single American, who gives a damn about our struggling democracy.

BREAKING: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is humiliated as students from Florida’s prestigious New College defy him in the best way possible.

After DeSantis conducted a “takeover” of the left-leaning college through his fascist anti-LGBTQ+ policies, the students struck back by putting together an “alternate” gradation ceremony where they can celebrate the graduation of their LGBTQ+ classmates without being punished by DeSantis.

The college’s LGBTQ+ students say that they have been specifically targeted by DeSantis, which is why they made sure their graduation ceremony featured ample rainbow and pink-and-blue flags.

But it gets even better…

The alternate graduation ceremony, which was attended by the vast majority of the college’s students, is just one of many events that the students have organized to protest against DeSantis.

VICE News reports that, “Students at the school have also defied DeSantis by hosting inclusive chess tournaments, dances, garage sales, rallies, and, of course, protests. In February, about 300 students and parents, some dressed in Handmaid’s Tale outfits, protested a board meeting held by the new right-wing administration."

"The fact is that we are incredibly resilient students. We are queer students living in Florida," a student told Vice. “We have survived through this before and we're going to continue surviving through it.”

On a completely different note...

[Historic Vids @historyinmemes]

In ancient times, predating civilization itself, humans engaged in the creation of explicit imagery on cave walls around 7,000 BC. This particular artwork hails from Algeria, Africa, portraying two individuals. Let's not beat around the bush here—I'm the sole proprietor of this page, and it's quite evident what's depicted in this artwork. There's no need for in-depth historical analysis or profound philosophical reflections. I'm not being compensated for this, after all! It appears that an artist, perhaps feeling a tad adventurous, took on the role of the world's first Twitter artist, unleashing their imaginative ideas. And that pretty much sums up the essence of this post. Moving on to the second image, we encounter more provocative artwork, with a faint image on the right showcasing additional individuals engaging in some playful and risqué activities. The purpose behind these creations remains uncertain. They could have served religious or artistic motives, or simply resulted from a cave-dwelling individual in Algeria feeling rather nostalgic about an old flame.

I was lucky (?) to be born in the USA (1970) because of our universe acting in the unpredictable way of nature. My #Ukrainian grandparents overcame a world in crisis to make it here. Unfortunately, my grandmother's sister (age 17) met the same fate at the hands of #facist #Nazis

The courageous 17-year-old rebel who valiantly fought for freedom and was executed by the Germans, 1943. Lepa Radié, at the age of 15, witnessed the German invasion of Yugoslavia in 1941. Due to the country's strategic position during the war, it swiftly succumbed to the invasion. Yet, despite falling under the sinister grip of fascism, the people of Yugoslavia fiercely defended their honor and pride, even to the point of sacrificing their lives.

Following her arrest and imprisonment by the puppet government of Yugoslavia, Lepa Radic was liberated by Partisan fighters. She joined their cause, actively participating in the resistance movement's frontline operations, which sought to overthrow the occupying forces and establish a socialist government. Her role involved transporting wounded fighters to medical facilities for treatment. Tragically, her involvement in the resistance movement ultimately led to her demise.

Radic took part in a mission to rescue 150 women and children, engaging in combat against enemy troops. However, she was captured and condemned to death by hanging. During the three days preceding her execution, she endured torture in an attempt to extract information about her fellow partisans. Despite the torment, she remained steadfast and refused to provide any answers. Just before her hanging, she was given a final opportunity to disclose the identities of her comrades, to which she defiantly replied, "I am not a traitor to my people. Those whom you inquire about will reveal themselves once they have eradicated every single one of you evildoers."

With those unwavering words, the support beneath her feet was abruptly taken away, and she was hanged. Lepa Radic was posthumously honored as a national hero in 1951. She stands as an enduring symbol of freedom, resistance against oppression, and unwavering loyalty.
