@AnaPalacio_C@BillPrecht My heart is 💔 too. We went to Marathon last week, and I was looking forward to snorkeling. Naively, I was expecting what we used to see back in the 80's and early 90's. Sombrero was a complete shock. It was already bleached and very few fish, other than Skip Jacks.
Let me get this straight. The FBI has over 80,000 pages of evidence on George Santos. Kevin McCarthy says that is not enough for a House Ethics Committee investigation of George Santos. The FBI has zero pages of evidence against Adam Schiff. This evidence on George Santos was gathered during his 6 months in office. Adam Schiff has been in Congress for 23 years. And has had zero pages of evidence gathered against him by the FBI. George Santos is accused of committing crimes defrauding the government. Stealing unemployment funds. Defrauding investors and being part of a Ponzi scheme. All perfectly acceptable to Kevin McCarthy and the House GOP. Adam Schiff said something that made Donald Trump mad and he was censured by the McCarthy GOP led House. Schiff has served the country for over 23 years in Congress. Santos has less than 6 months and is under indictment. Who should be censured and who should be in good standing ? Kevin McCarthy will pay a hefty price for the damage he has done to the reputation of the Peoples House. Just to please Donald Trump and his Extreme MAGA House members. #DemVoice1
BREAKING: NBC drops bombshell, reveals that Republican 2024 presidential candidate Governor Ron DeSantis just abused his power by demanding that a federal judge delay Disney’s massive lawsuit against him until AFTER the 2024 presidential election.
But it gets even worse…
DeSantis also demanded that the judge simply THROW OUT Disney’s lawsuit against him because he claims that he has immunity that “shields” him from being sued for creating laws that target Disney for supporting America’s LGBTQ+ community.
Disney is accusing fascist DeSantis of acting like a dictator by using the power of the state to “weaponizing the power of government to punish Disney for its protected speech.”
DeSantis wants the judge to delay the trial until August of 2025, a whopping THREE years, because he knows that Disney is going to win their lawsuit again him — and he doesn’t want to be embarrassed in front of voters ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that the judge MUST DENY DeSantis’ shameless demands — and consider investing in Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is currently doing a round of equity crowdfunding and just blew past $2.1 million raised from 5,300 of its users.

THIS IS HUGE!
🚨🚨🚨 BOOM: Republicans are LIVID that today’s news shows the economy has recovered more quickly than most experts thought possible and #Bidenomics trends!
It’s about time Democrats broadcast our accomplishments.
Let’s BLAST this great news from space! 👇
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projected it would take until 2026 for unemployment to drop back below 4%.
Instead, unemployment fell l below 4% in 2021—five years ahead of what was estimated—and it has stayed there for the longest period in more than 50 years.
There’s even more. 👇
The economy has also added more than 13 million jobs since President Biden took office.
What is astounding is that this includes nearly 800,000 manufacturing jobs, something most people thought was impossible.
While unemployment rates for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and people with disabilities have reached record lows. a recent survey found that job satisfaction is at its highest level in 36 years, as employers are offering better pay, better benefits, and better schedules to attract and retain workers.
Employers just added a robust 339,000 jobs last month in a sign that the economy appears poised to keep growing.
Republicans are talking about EVERYTHING but the economy these days because they know things are improving faster than they want.

When I heard white supremacist Ron DeSantis’ crazy plan to end birthright citizenship, it reminded me of the fact that Natives weren’t granted citizenship (of our own country) until June 2, 1924.
Immigrants who work hard and obey the law should be granted a path to eventual U.S. citizenship. Agree?
“We treat Moms for Liberty like the KKK. If you knew that a KKK meeting was happening in a church down the street from your house, everyone would be alarmed.”
Flushed with hate. Mouths agape:
Moms for Liberty is a far-right hate group that engages in anti-student inclusion activities while purporting to be a modern parental rights movement. Moms for Liberty are the notorious, right-wing zealots who terrorize the nation with their beliefs, their demands, and their dangerous ubiquity.
Moms for Liberty made their national debut in America on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
The GOP LOVES MFL: Of late, this extremist group has exploded in GOP popularity — propelled by opposition to public health regulations for COVID-19. They’re also notorious for opposing LGBTQ+ culture and racially inclusive school curriculum. MFL advocates book bans. Republicans are thrilled with all of the above, of course.
This anti-student inclusion hate group has waged a wicked war against public schools, with watchdog members pouncing to seize hundreds of school board seats across the country.
Moms for Liberty rail against teachers’ unions — condemning them as “terrorist organizations.” The Moms have called for the Department of Education to be crushed and eliminated.
Moms for Liberty’s attacks on the LGBTQ+ community are plentiful and poisonous.
Members of MFL even helped Gov. Ron DeSantis develop Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill. Moms for Liberty publicly championed the bill.
Moms for Liberty are fangirls of Adolf Hitler, quoting and saluting him on the cover of their June 2023 newsletter.
Purportedly on a mission to protect children, Moms for Liberty pack and attack school board meetings all across America. During the COVID crisis, they decried science and demanded an end to masking in schools and vaccine mandates.
MFL promote book bans, and denounce curricula infused with the critical race theory they deem so deeply offensive. The Moms stand opposed to inclusive curriculum: targeting critical race theory and social emotional learning with particular vitriol.
TIES TO AN INSURRECTIONIST: Trump campaign megadonor Julie Jenkins Fancelli — heiress to the Publix grocery store chain — contributed $50,000 to a Moms for Liberty political action committee. Never forget, Fancelli also donated millions to finance and support the January 6 rallies which lead to the violent storming of the Capitol Complex.
One chapter of Moms for Liberty took issue with a book by Ruby Bridges on the subject of school integration — detailing her experiences. The Moms also protested a book on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., which they bashed as “Anti-American, Anti-White, and Anti-Mexican.” Rather than these books, which they deemed unacceptable, the Moms advocated for books with what they describe as a more positive historical perspective: books that focus on American “heroes” like Clarence Thomas.
Moms for Liberty also recommends books by Birchers: supporters of the John Birch Society.
Moms for Liberty is not an isolated anti-woke, anti-government hate group. The Moms are quite socially active and have strong connections to fellow anti-woke, anti-government hate groups: White nationalists, election deniers, and participants in the January 6th rallies and attacks are all among MFL’s regular contacts.
In fact, Moms for Liberty connect with QAnon, Three Percenters, White nationalist Proud Boys, and more. Moms for Liberty have even been prominently pictured with various Proud Boys, flashing White power signs.
Many more details below:
Josie (6 years old), Bertha (6 years old) and Sophie (10 years old) worked regularly at the Maggioni Canning Company.
Work began at 4 AM and the three would make from $9 to $15 a week. Sophie would do six pots of oyster a day and her mother who also worked with her said "She don't go to school. Works all the time."
Through such photos, Lewis Hine documented the harsh working conditions borne by thousands of children, who were sent to work soon after they could walk, and were paid based on how many buckets of oysters they shucked daily.
Mr Hines wrote of one photograph: ‘All but the very smallest babies work. Begin work at 3:30am and expected to work until 5pm.’ He covered around 50,000 miles a year, photographing children from Chicago to Florida working in coal mines and factories.
These photos helped to raise an outcry against child labor and made the American public become widely aware of the scope of the problem. This resulted in the establishment of organizations such as the National Child Labor Committee, in 1904, which led the fight against child labor.
PSA: Senate Republicans just blocked a vote to pass legislation to protect every American’s fundamental right to use birth control. Yes, birth control.
Turner Classic Movies has been a fixture in my life for as long as I can remember. It’s a holy corner of film history — and a living, breathing library for an entire art form. Please don’t fuck with @tcm. https://t.co/k37stLFOTN
