On average, it might be a tax cut.

But for 95% of Americans, it'll be a tax hike.

BOOM. Jessica Tarlov just wiped the floor on Fox after her colleagues promoted lies about President Biden’s hurricane response: “And there’s only one president who has denied relief to states…Trump denied 99% of what North Carolina wanted.” She is so good

Strong pushback on from Jessica here

Nazis are marching in Madison, Wisconsin.

This is where we’re at in 2023. The rise of anti-Semitism in our country is horrifying.

[Taylor Twellman @TaylorTwellman]

As horrifying as anything I’ve seen and it’s crazy to think it’s actually 2023, and not 1940. If on a personal level, this doesn’t make you sick and you stay quiet, and you are as complicit as these cowards that won’t show their faces. This is NOT a Democrat vs Republican issue.

The biggest mistake people make is letting their bodies get to a level where they need pills to fix the problems that their lifestyle created.

I am 55 years old.
America is the only country I've ever known.
And I love my country.

When I was in school, I learned about the horrors of slavery. Sure, it was a limited education, but I totally got the gist of it.

We learned how people were taken from Africa, and how many DIED during the journey here, forced to labor in hot fields while being whipped, raped, deprived of education, and murdered.

In fact, when I was young, there was a mini-series on TV called Roots that depicted the brutality of slavery in horrifyingly explicit detail.

And then I did my OWN research, reading more books and watching more documentaries and movies.

But somehow, I was able to maintain my love of America. Despite all of the cruelty and brutality I had learned about, I was somehow able to figure out that the people alive in America today had NOTHING TO DO with slavery 200 years ago.

Somehow, I can still say the Pledge of Allegiance and sing the Star Spangled Banner, no problem.

But dishonest fascists like Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Ron DeSantis want to deprive American children of the knowledge of slavery, and African American studies because they say it's "propaganda leftist agenda" designed to teach kids to “hate America.”

That's a preposterous lie.

There are PLENTY of evils and horrors America is responsible for, and if you don't teach kids what happened in the past they may be DOOMED to repeat those horrors in the future.

Today's kids are being asked to treat as normal these "shooter drills" where the possibility of being shot with bullets that make them unrecognizable is a very real possibility, but we think they can't handle learning the truth about what happened 200 years ago?

If you ask me, those of us who learned the truth about America, and STILL love our country, are even more patriotic than those who are trying to whitewash it and hide the truth from kids.

Don't minimize it.
Don't rationalize it, with bullshit like "oh, it wasn't all bad because some people learned skills."

RESPECT THESE KIDS.
TELL THEM THE TRUTH.

The Bible, at different points, is against:
tattoos
cutting hair at the temples
eating shellfish
charging interest
rejecting immigrants
working on Saturday
wearing poly-fiber clothes
praying in public.

It never bans abortion.
Jesus commands you to treat LGBT as you'd treat Him.

This is true for me right now, too.

If I search for "cat" on Twitter, I get "cat in a blender full video." If I search for "dog" I get "dog getting stabbed" or "dog screwdriver full video" as the first suggestions.

Clicking through leads to animal torture videos.

A new breakout study compared ChatGPT vs. physician responses to patient questions.

The results were insane.

Here's how AI is about to revolutionize health care:

Love this. The world needs more people like Keanu.

This thread right here… A clear explanation of how libraries actually function in this society. Not some bullshit being propagated by a politician with a penchant for punching down. ⬇️

@petegenovese Hard to go wrong with Palau, but some great vegetarian dishes as well. I think one with beans and one with eggplant.
