Gavin Newsom: The day after he talked about a beach photo and an indictment of his enemies. He talked about his Kremlin ballroom. He's not doing anything to try to unite this country The biggest reflection of this moment is the sewer that we're living in because of Donald Trump. The deviation of normalcy is off the chart. This is a guy cosplaying as the Pope, as Jesus, putting his face on Mount Rushmore. None of this is normal

.@JamesTalarico: We are living in an era of corruption. I don’t just mean illegal activity. I mean corruption in the deeper sense — the rotting of something from the inside. Politicians serving billionaire megadonors instead of their constituents. The top 1% owning more wealth than the entire middle class. For-profit social media algorithms sowing division and turning neighbor against neighbor. Our systems are rotting from the inside out. The most powerful people in this country are profiting off our pain, our division, and our disconnection from one another. This is, at its root, a spiritual crisis. And it will require a spiritual solution.

J.B. Pritzker raised IL's min wage to $15 while red states cling to the $7.25 federal minimum—$14k/year, unlivable even where costs are lowest. Trump gave billionaires tax cuts while workers drowned. 50-state data proves red states exploit the poor.

When working hard still doesn’t cover your rent, your groceries, or a little breathing room—something’s broken. Affordability is what Democrats should be fighting for. Full stop.

This type of clothing weaving has been going on in most parts of Africa for centuries. Yet some people wrote in their history books that most Africans didn’t wear clothes until they arrived in Africa. Hypocrites!!!

She’s evidence that it is not too late for anyone to achieve their dream.

Instead of spending $50 billion to bankroll Trump’s criminal war on Iran, we could: -Extend ACA subsidies for one year -Restore SNAP benefits for 2.4 million people -And ensure Medicaid coverage for nearly 2 million people It’s not about what we can afford. It’s about priorities.

Mockler on Cost of Iran War: So in New York, they did free school lunches for $300 million a year, put that against the $50 billion, which is a conservative estimate for this war. We could have funded this across the country. How about in Connecticut? They have paid family leave. It was $450 million a year. And it is $5 million to start up. Put that against the $50 billion. It is a no brainer. What about one more in New Mexico. It costs $1.5 billion for free college. We could do that 20 times over with the $50 billion that we've spent.

BREAKING: Trump casually declares “Cuba is next” and threatens to send the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier to force them to surrender “on the way back from Iran.” In yet another unhinged rant, Donald Trump openly talked about invading and taking over Cuba “almost immediately” after dealing with Iran. He described sending one of the world’s largest aircraft carriers just offshore and forcing them to give up their sovereignty and capitulate to the mighty USA because we told them to. This story should be getting more attention. The President of the United States is treating the nations of the world like personal conquests in a game of Risk. He’s not even pretending to have good reasons anymore. Trump is openly fantasizing about using the most powerful military in human history to expand American territory and topple governments he doesn’t like, like William McKinley did at the turn of the last century. Trump’s a fan. Inspired by expansionist presidents of old, Trump looks at geopolitics as a fun might-makes-right exercise that threatens to undo the 80 years of discipline and strategic diplomacy that established the United States in its historic role as the benevolent leader of the free world in the blink of an eye. The most insane part is that no one else in the U.S. government seems to have the mettle to challenge and attempt him beyond ineffectual rhetoric. Republicans in Congress have abdicated their responsibility, and Trump’s own Cabinet is filled with sycophants who will rubber-stamp whatever he wants. From bombing Iran to now openly eyeing Cuba, Trump is acting like Mad King Ludwig rather than an American president bound by the Constitution as all before him had been. This reckless, imperial warmongering is bound to get more Americans killed and destabilize the entire world, not to mention depleting our military of its stores of weapons and equipment, which of course Trump believes he can restock on credit with a wave of his hand. If Trump’s casual threats to invade Cuba on the way back from Iran infuriates you, please like and share this post.

Why Nigeria urgently needs a total overhaul of its academic curriculum. For too long, our schools have functioned as extension centers of foreign thought, repeating Western models, histories, philosophies, and value systems while neglecting the rich intellectual, moral, scientific, and cultural heritage rooted in our own soil. A nation cannot truly develop when its children are educated to admire distant civilizations more than they understand themselves. From primary school to university, students should be exposed to indigenous core values such as communal responsibility, respect for elders, environmental harmony, craftsmanship, entrepreneurship, oral literature, local governance systems, conflict resolution methods, traditional medicine, African philosophy, and the histories of our ethnic nations. These are not relics of the past but living resources for nation-building. Why should a Nigerian child know more about European wars than the achievements of the Benin Empire, Oyo Empire, Kanem-Bornu Empire, or the intellectual traditions of Igbo republicanism? Why must our graduates memorize imported theories yet remain disconnected from local agriculture, industry, languages, and problem-solving? This is not a call to reject global knowledge but to balance it. Nigerian students should learn science, technology, and global history through a curriculum that also centers Nigerian realities, indigenous languages, ethics, inventions, economics, and social systems. Imagine universities where students research local crops instead of relying on foreign case studies; law faculties studying indigenous justice systems; psychology departments examining African family structures and communal healing; and architecture schools drawing from climate-smart traditional building methods. Education should not produce strangers in their own land. A reformed curriculum would build confidence, identity, innovation, patriotism, and practical relevance. It would reduce mental dependency and raise a generation equipped to solve Nigerian problems with Nigerian wisdom and global tools. Until we decolonize the classroom, we will continue producing graduates with certificates but without cultural direction. May we never lose ourselves in search of ourselves. Credit: Maazi Dibia

James Baldwin said it in 1965 and it has not aged a single day: The reason Americans cannot face their history is that the history indicts their identity. And you cannot ask someone to accept the evidence that destroys who they think they are. White Americans, he said, need the Black American to remain inferior, because their own superiority is the only thing that makes sense of a country built on those terms. The same structure applies outward. Americans need the rest of the world to remain in need of American guidance, American intervention, American rescue. Because without that story, what exactly was all the violence for? The empire doesn't just extract resources. It extracts meaning. And the people who built their inner lives on that meaning will fight as hard to keep it as any general ever fought to keep territory. Harder, maybe. You can negotiate territory. You cannot negotiate with someone's need to believe they are one of the good ones.

Nashville was given the Nickname ‘Music City’ by England's Queen Victoria after receiving the Fisk University Jubilee Singers in her court in 1873. The group, made of mostly those formely enslaved, put Nashville on the musical map.

This unhinged rant would solicit anger if it wasn’t coming from a criminal, who has 34 felony convictions, held accountable for rape and accused of being a pedo. I still don’t know how anyone would willingly humiliate themselves like this but here we are. Btw, the pedophile protection party should find new material for their deflection 💁🏽‍♀️
