@manuginobili I love you, Manu!

I really long for the old spirit of the Texas i grew up in. I miss how our endless open plains symbolized limitless personal freedom & that feeling of having tons of space to carve out your own destiny.

I miss when the leather of our cowboy boots was as tough as our word & as strong as our diverse & vibrant communities.

When religion was mostly for the Sunday folk but our integrity still held Mon thru Sat. Becuz even without church, most of us were raised to know right from wrong & taught that bootlicking meant you had no spine.

I miss Ann Richards too. All that gumption & audacity & how she could put a man so squarely in his place if he didn't come correct. To us girls growing up here, she was the ultimate role model for learning how to be a boss lady in a world of men.

Maybe i just sound like those other guys on the other side of the aisle, wistfully pining for a past that'll never come again... idgaf. But tech bros & sycophants & fake Christians with their megachurches are rotting my beloved state now. And i'm mourning it deeply like a death. 💔

Antigone may be the origin of independent thought in Western literature.

Here is a young woman who stands against the king, against the state, against the consensus of everyone around her, because she believes a higher law demands it. She buries her brother knowing it will cost her life.

When I teach Sophocles to students, I don't start with literary analysis. I start with a question: "Have you ever known something was right even though everyone around you disagreed?"

Every student has a story. The shy kid who wouldn't go along with bullying. The teenager who questioned a rule that seemed unjust. They know what it feels like to stand alone with their own conviction.

Then we read Antigone, and suddenly a 2,500-year-old play becomes personal.

What Sophocles teaches, and what no amount of lecturing about "critical thinking" can replicate, is the lived experience of watching someone reason through an impossible moral situation and choose based on principle. Students don't learn independent thought from being told to think independently. They learn it from inhabiting the minds of those who actually did.

This is why I believe great literature is not a nice supplement to education. It's foundational. These texts are where young people encounter the full weight of what it means to think for yourself and accept the consequences.

@JezziiB Or tools. Anymore.

[Seth @fiercepatricks]

when a man is extremely homophobic for no reason, makes homophobia his personality, loud about how much he likes women. HE is GAY!

AOC: I believe in guaranteed single-payer healthcare. We need to drive toward an America where every single person in this country can see a doctor without fear of having to choose between their insulin and their rent.

I believe in an America where we are actively transitioning ourselves out of dependency on Russian and Middle Eastern oil, and the volatility of that, so our energy prices can be lower.

I think we need to be talking about universal gun safety and very common-sense measures—background checks, making sure that the people most likely to kill people with assault weapons don’t get those weapons in their hands, and holding people responsible who put those weapons in their hands.

We’ve got a lot of work to do, and I think that for me as a progressive, having a very clear vision for that means making sure we don’t get into foreign wars that are just endless entanglements, that we’re actually fighting for everyday people, and for the love of God, getting big money out of politics.

In today's episode of The Twilight Zone Redux, we see a philandering adulterer with his mistress and a pedophilic adulterer with his mail order hooker strolling the grounds of one of Americas most sacred places. It's such an iconic episode that it's airing worldwide...🙄

LMAO whoever made this it was the most brilliant roasting of Trump's WHCD event 😂🤣😭

Some Moron once told Trump that whoever controls the handshake, controls the negotiations.

And the idiots been doing this stupid handshake ever since. 😆

[NoelCaslerComedy @caslernoel]

“As I’ve said many times before - when all is said and done, Donald Trump will surpass any historical tyrant and rightfully take his place as the worst human ever to emerge from the privilege and relative peace of post-World War II America.

Trump’s withdrawal of the U.S. on climate change initiatives and treaties, coupled with his opposition to environmental conservation and cancelling of renewable energy projects alone will cause untold catastrophes, and compound both economic hardship and human suffering across the globe.

Future generations will inherit a far more dangerous and toxic world than the one we were born into - and many of us had hoped to nurture and improve.

POTUS is an enemy of progress itself: he has stolen over a decade of momentum and innovation while dulling the spirit of scientific and academic excellence - at a time it was most needed for the betterment of mankind.

The irony of it is Donald Trump may destroy what we have come to know as the United States, and much of the world beyond it in the process, and his particular brand of evil couldn’t have been created anywhere else but in America.

His french-fried fascism sprung from the greed and ignorance that men like him have not only gotten away with, they have protected and promulgated for centuries.

The kicker is that his vulgar mediocrity has become a cornerstone of his appeal to the ‘America First’ base and the craven corporations that bent the knee and allowed this awful and obscene autocrat to flourish.” https://t.co/3KMm59sFdX

It feels wrong to celebrate international women's day whilst men are getting away with the very worst sex crimes against women and girls, and also war crimes against women and girls, with seeming impunity.

The only way to celebrate women's day should be by ending patriarchy.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who agrees that this son of a bitch is way too casual about sending OTHER PEOPLE'S KIDS to die in an unauthorized war in Iran that's not "America First."

HE SHOULD SEND HIS OWN F*CKING KIDS.

[BythePeople @BythePeople18]

A Surgeon General nominee with an inactive medical license who never completed residency, an HHS leader with no medical experience who pushes quack cures, and an FBI head with no law enforcement experience fits perfectly with a president who is a fucking moron.

#ElonMusk you hypocritical, thin-skinned piece of shit. You bought this platform screaming 'free speech absolutist' while turning it into your personal ego fortress where anyone who dares criticize #MAGA or your bullshit gets quietly throttled into oblivion.

You lie straight to everyone's face: 'No shadowbanning!' 'Algorithm is open source!' 'Freedom of speech, not reach!' Bullshit. It's freedom for sycophants and bootlickers who kiss this regime’s ass, and digital gulag for the rest of us who see through the con. You say you deboost negativity —then endlessly whine about 'woke mind virus' or whatever enemy-of-the-week gets millions of views while real users get shadow-fucked for saying anything remotely critical of YOU or the Trump regime.

You're not a free speech hero, you're a petty tyrant with a god complex, manually or algorithmically punishing anyone who doesn't worship at the altar. The algorithm 'sucks' because you designed it to protect your fragile ego and push propaganda. Open source my ass—it's just theater so you can point and say 'see, transparent’ while the real knobs get twisted behind the curtain to bury dissent.

Fix your garbage platform or admit you're no better than the old Twitter cabal you claimed to hate. Actually, you're worse—because at least they didn't pretend to be the savior of free expression while stabbing it in the back. 🖕

Everything in this quote is the truth. Everything.
Notice how fast Ivana was buried in the golf course?
Didn't her children have any say about their mother?
The fat convicted felon made sure she was cremated so there was no autopsy. No proof as to cause of death.
No housekeepers in the house, a 3 story home with NO HELP?
I'm sure Ivana did all the housework, the cleaning, the laundry, etc.
Can't you see Ivana on her hands and knees cleaning the toilets?
NO WAY!
Where was her staff?
And Jeffrey Epstein killed himself? Right?
In a monitored jail cell?
Come on now…spare us the bullsh*t..

[West LA Résistance 🌊🇺🇸⚖️🗽 @45bestwords]

The USA went almost 250 years w/ only a handful of true traitors; Benedict Arnold, the Rosenbergs…

+ then w/in a decade, hundreds: Trump, McConnell, Vance, Rubio, Hegseth, Noem, Bondi, 6 SCOTUS, GOP Congress, Barr, Gabbard, Miller, Musk, Patel + an entire brainwashed movement.
