⚠️ NEW: Trump’s DOJ says it will target Black and Latino-majority voting districts nationwide — using the Supreme Court’s recent ruling as its weapon. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/tr…

"No … Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State". Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the U.S. Constitution

Trump telling Congress the Iran War is "terminated" on the exact anniversary of Bush's Mission Accomplished speech is a bit on the nose

🔊 SOUND ON for another video from today's first post-restoration flight of our Grumman Avenger!

Trump says Cuba is next for take over after Iran. “On the way back from Iran we'll have maybe the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, the biggest in the world, we'll have that come in.”

It’s so weird that every time SCOTUS declares racism to be no more than the Ghost of Voter Suppression Past, a bunch of states leap at the chance to do more racist voter suppression.

Spirit Airlines can keep flying if Mike Pence has the courage…

I used to work with somebody who admitted that she never studied history while homeschooled because her parents only taught her English and math. I still can’t believe you’re allowed to do that to a kid.

The gerrymandering saga only ends when Democrats retaliate so much that Republicans have an incentive to support a federal ban.

“ratify the voting rights act”

✈️ AIRSHOW NEWS ✈️ Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress 🇬🇧 has been confirmed for both days of the Shuttleworth Festival of Flight 🇬🇧 2026. Based at IWM Duxford, Sally B is Europe’s last remaining airworthy B-17 and continues to fly as a living memorial to the USAAF crews.

Fascinating example of how social media works today… (LONG POST) Saw a display in the BHM airport honoring the Tuskegee Airmen. Like 99.999% of Americans, I’m Team 🇺🇸… especially over Nazis. Posted it. Most responses were what you’d expect likes, RTs, patriotism. Then the algorithm shifted. Started seeing a wave of replies saying: “Tuskegee success was a myth. Just PR. DEI BS” The argument? They had fewer aerial kills than other escort groups, so therefore it was all BS. So I paused and did a real deep dive looked for actual historical data from the official Air Force accounts and historians. Here’s what I found…. They were right. They did have less aerial kills the other fighter groups. However….. The SAME data being used to discredit them tells a completely different story if you read the whole reports. Yes, they had fewer kills. But here’s the data that they omitted: Bombers lost under escort (same theater, same aircraft): • Tuskegee Airmen: 27 • Other groups: ~49, 68, 88 That’s not spin. That’s the mission. Escort fighters weren’t there to run up kill counts, they were there to protect bombers. And by that measure, the 332nd was one of the most effective groups in the war. Why did they have less aerial kills? Was it because they were less skilled? Historians pointed out the 332nd was known for staying disciplined and stuck with the bombers while others groups tended to often peel off chasing kills. So both things can be true: • Fewer kills • More bombers protected But here’s the social media lesson: Same report. Same data. One side cherry-picks “lowest kills” = “they weren’t good” But they “conveniently” left out the part where they protected bombers better than anyone. What I observed? 2 things. 1) Most of the accounts pushing the “myth” angle? Burner accounts, fake names…,people that hid behind a vague account names 2) Setting the record straight wasn’t the goal of the “myth” posters, it was for them to get their personal beliefs off without the actual information they claimed to have used. Anyway… Team America 🇺🇸🫡

Go, Buddy, go! Let’s join Buddy Tymczyszyn this #FlybyFriday flying his family’s 1931 Buhl LA-1 Bull Pup. Captured by Bob Tymczyszyn, it’s great to see this 1930s aircraft still in the air.

@TimWhite3030 @RedPencilScript That sounds great as a tweet, but it is simply not how the world works.

@MahiArchipelago @RedPencilScript “If funds exist.” They exist, it’s a matter of priorities. The arts are not “extras,” they are fundamental to human existence and development.

The school board voted unanimously to get rid of the drama and dance program. Fired the two teachers in front of all of their students. So many tears.

@CameronCorduroy Impeccable credentials 😂

"former AP Gov student here"

Miami Airbnb owners are in shambles

This is a coup.

The Trump administration is completely destroying this country’s international standing.

@RedPencilScript To be clear, I support these programs. I feel that if cuts have to be made, core educational classes should always be prioritized.

@RedPencilScript Potentially unpopular opinion (especially as a liberal), but these types of programs should be treated as “extras” along with athletics. If funding exists, great. If it doesn’t, they need to go. Schools should never prioritize these things over other academic programs

@alisadoc1 @RedPencilScript Again, I think that music/art/theater are important, just not as important as core academic subjects for 97% of people.

@MahiArchipelago @RedPencilScript Hilarious to think that Leonardo da Vinci, a genius in both art and mathematics, should be something no one should aspire to become. And the synergy between music and math proficiency has been widely published. Should we ignore that data?
