Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
—Harry Truman, 1952
Just a reminder that patriotism isn't holding a bible and wrapping yourself in the flag while you violate the Constitution and plunder the country.
Happy 4th of July, stay cool and safe!!

Codifying Roe, passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and holding members of this administration criminally accountable are important goals, but none of it sticks without Supreme Court reform.
The editorial cartoonist's pen is one of the sharpest tools in journalism, whittling issues down to basics for satire or rage. I'm proud to say that my long-ago colleague, Milt Priggee, is unafraid to shock with a tough point of view.
Melania - Your husband was gleeful about the deaths of Robert Mueller & Rob Reiner, he yells at & demeans female reporters on a weekly basis, he encouraged a mob to endanger the life of his former Vice President. And on and on. . .
So, Melania, America is asking you to kindly f*ck all the way off.
A butterfly vigil was held today, the one year anniversary of Virginia's suicide.
She was a warrior for the Epstein survivors sisters & so many victims around our nation who did not receive justice.
Thank you Virginia & I hope you are at peace. 🦋

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx.
In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.
The President of the United States is Unhinged.
Frankly, many believe he’s crazy. The GOP lets this demented old man remain in power. SHAME!
Another night of ranting... as we gear up to attack Cuba!
The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.
This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.
Mayor Mamdani chats with New Yorkers while walking the six miles from City Hall to Gracie Mansion, fulfilling the promise he made in his inauguration speech to “be outside” as Mayor — “because this is a government of New York, by New York, and for New York.”
Donald’s grandfather didn’t serve (which is why he was kicked out of Germany).
Donald’s father didn’t serve.
Donald lied to get out of serving.
None of Donald’s children served.
But Donald, Don Jr., and Eric Trump expect you to sacrifice your family members to serve in Donald's illegal war.
To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️
It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.
Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.
The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.
$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".
Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s call to stand up against injustice still rings true today.
As we confront the many challenges our state and nation face, his powerful example remains an inspiration that demonstrates the impact we can have by uniting across our differences.
On MLK Day, we’ll hear a lot of quotes from people actively dismantling his legacy, including the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.
Dr. King’s work was never finished. It was interrupted.
Q: Americans for generations have fought and died for democracy. Are you saying the president finds the idea of canceling elections funny?
LEAVITT: Where you in the room? Only someone like you would take that so seriously
I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
“Bible teaching, he noted, is to have ‘special care for strangers, aliens and sojourners.’
‘It is not rocket science, but the Word of God’…”
