@brickmason3006@AOC I'm pretty sure that Twitter wasn't created until 2006. Maybe you should check your resources before posting since this photo is apparently from May of 2000...
This time of year, I am always reminded of the Thanksgiving scene painted by one of my favorite artists, Norman Rockwell. Many people don’t know this, but Rockwell actually lived for a time in Arlington, Vermont, and painted some of his most well-known pieces there, including his “Four Freedoms.” He even used many of his Vermont neighbors as models and inspiration in his work.
Rockwell’s “Four Freedoms” series was published in the Saturday Evening Post in 1943. They were paintings that reflected the vision that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt articulated in his 1941 State of the Union speech: Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Worship, Freedom from Want, and Freedom from Fear.
In that speech Roosevelt stated:
“In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.
“The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world.
“The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way—everywhere in the world.
“The third is freedom from want—which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants—everywhere in the world.
“The fourth is freedom from fear—which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor—anywhere in the world.
“That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.”
In my view, Roosevelt’s vision from 1941 remains relevant today.
On behalf of Jane, my children, and my grandkids, let me take this opportunity to wish everybody a very happy Thanksgiving and a wonderful holiday season.
@Vistohlm @jeanmagsmarie @TheManOfHonor69 @RepKatiePorter It would be impossible for people in war zones, away missions, etc. to cast a vote the same day. Spouses aren't allowed on some bases abroad. You would have to have American polling stations inside another country. The logistics of that would be more involved than by mail.
CNN immediately dissecting Kamala’s economics speech and claiming she needs more detail. The same CNN who airs Trump speeches where he’s not once provided a detail on a single policy issue.
This is why she doesn’t owe them any interviews.
@DiopterF3 @OogooBoggins@MessiEra10_@POTUS When we vote for those representatives, they are supposed to vote in the interest of their constituents. That means what we say, i.e. votes, should be the way they vote. That's the way it works. Our voice is carried by the representative. It's their job to do what we want.
@Magiccarpet110 @RepKatiePorter It would be good to have similar panels at the schools to help run electricity there. It would be good to have them at the bus depot as well, which is where the buses spend the majority of their day.
@marketmoves11 @newlymadeb @ForTexasHoujami@POTUS It's almost like there's evidence that manufacturers have jacked up the prices since the 2020 and never stopped even when production was back up. Gee.
Keep licking that stale Cheeto dust.
What the actual hell @uhaul!! Only a day or so ago the price for a 20 ft truck from Prescott, AZ to Huntsville,AL was $2700. Now it is $4700. That price felt like robbery, now it's like you want my vital organs.
@heidistimbus @ScienceUnikerrn @SpencerJCox I highly doubt that. When I met Karin over a decade ago I was a member. We've been great friends through all these years. I'm pretty sure it isn't Karin that's to be blamed.
