Bernie is Right On once again! Strange that there are such stringent measures being taken to hobble and even eliminate the Postal Service just when it is being so seriously considered to execute a critical role in the functioning of our Democracy. Wonder how Vlad feels about this

@drantbradley That father’s comments; “there’s good and bad in all groups of people” reminded me of my own parent’s teachings, word for word. Sounded like my own Dad talking. Also, people are attracted to disturbances, especially kids. A few comments can make things even more exciting.

I’ve been saying for years that the reason most blacks are Democrats today is that conservatives in the 1970s resisted integration. Had they taken a more libertarian position, America would look very different today. A missed opportunity. 1970s conservatism equaled pro–Jim Crow.

@PawlowskiMario We’ ve been thru this bullshit before. Pre-World War 2. If the isolationists had won; we’ld be speaking German or Russian. Every policy the Republicans come up with hurts everyday Americans. The Cold War wasn’t waged vs France. Or the Netherlands. Spain or Portugal. It was ???.

USian🇺🇸🇷🇺(noun): Definition: An American sub-Russian; a citizen of the United States who, knowingly or not, supports policies and leaders that align with Russian interests, effectively making them a second-tier satellite of the Kremlin. Usage: •“The USians voted for leaders who weakened NATO and echoed Kremlin propaganda, turning their country into Putin’s pawn.” Characteristics: •Blindly parrots Russian disinformation while claiming to be ‘patriotic.’ •Votes for policies that undermine U.S. sovereignty in favor of authoritarian regimes. •Accuses others of being un-American while embracing foreign influence. Origins: Derived from the observable phenomenon of certain Americans willingly adopting pro-Russian stances while draped in the American flag, creating a Hyparadox of nationalism and submission. Example Sentence: “USians don’t even realize they’re cheering for their own demise while Putin laughs from his bunker.

@LauraLoomer How stupid and gullible do you think the AMERICAN PEOPLE are!? Radical Islamics don’t control the media; lamestream OR independent. How is their message going to get out? Is it an attractive message? Hell no.

WE ARE GOING TO LOSE THE MIDTERMS AND OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY WILL BE FLOODED WITH ISLAMIC PROPAGANDA! WAKE UP!

@TrendyVids7 @krassenstein Which is intrinsically Pro-America!

OH MY GOD? What's Happening at Mar-a-Lago?

@RachelBitecofer You put your finger on it. Well said.

If America wants to purge distorted history, let’s start with the biggest, ugliest distortion of them all: the Lost Cause. Because the Lost Cause isn’t some quaint relic of “Southern heritage.” It’s the longest-running con job in American history — a mass-scale gaslighting campaign that rewrote treason into honor, slavery into benevolence, and violent white supremacy into nostalgia. When I was at the University of Georgia, someone cracked a joke — “Oh, are you teaching about the War of Northern Aggression?” Everyone chuckled, including me, because it sounds absurd. But here’s the thing: it isn’t a joke in the South. That narrative, that “alternative history,” has been engineered. And it’s been taught, reinforced, carved into granite, and literally set in bronze on courthouse lawns for more than a century. The Lost Cause insists the Civil War wasn’t about slavery — no, it was about “states’ rights.” Right. States’ rights to own people. States’ rights to rape, whip, sell, and kill human beings as property. Let’s stop pretending otherwise. And this myth goes further — it paints the Confederacy as a noble David facing down the Northern Goliath, supposedly fighting off economic domination. In reality? They were fighting to preserve a slave empire that was the economic backbone of their wealth. They gambled the Union, and when they lost, they cried victim. And here’s the kicker: they weren’t just rebels. Men like Lee and Jackson were U.S. Army officers. They swore loyalty to the United States of America, and then they broke it. That’s called treason. They weren’t freedom fighters, they were traitors. And yet, because of the Lost Cause, Americans still drive down highways named for them, send their kids to schools named for them, and until very recently, trained soldiers at federal bases named for them. Imagine Germany naming a barracks after Rommel. The South didn’t just lose the war — it won the memory of it. I know because I’ve seen it up close. I taught students in Georgia and Virginia, and I watched firsthand how deeply this poison runs. Generations have been raised on textbooks scrubbed clean of slavery, on statues that glorify men who fought to destroy the Union, on church sermons and political speeches steeped in Confederate nostalgia. It isn’t harmless myth-making — it’s the foundation stone of Jim Crow, of segregation, of modern white nationalism. And here we are again. The same forces that once dressed treason up as honor are back, marching under new banners but preaching the same gospel of racial hierarchy. The Lost Cause isn’t just history — it’s the live virus still coursing through our politics. It’s why “heritage not hate” gets trotted out to defend Confederate flags. It’s why MAGA rallies echo secessionist rhetoric. So yeah, if we’re going to start fixing distorted history, let’s rip this one out first. Let’s call the Lost Cause what it was: a propaganda campaign to launder slavery, treason, and white supremacy into something honorable. And let’s stop pretending it’s anything but a Big Lie.

I’ve been to those museums. They did an awesome job of providing balance; without whitewashing. Frankly, why did it take so many years to build an African American museum. Why did it take so many years to teach about the imprisonment of Japanese Americans in early WWII. Why do so many American histories focus on the white railroad builders (with all due respect to their accomplishments and sacrifices) wo mentioning the multitude of Asian workers - I could go on. Having guts and courage to realize that as a country our history has lots of crappiness; as well as lots of goodness.

@ScottJenningsKY @realDonaldTrump Trump said the Smithsonian spends too much time on "how bad slavery was." You've turned that into something more benign but it isn't working.

It's true that slavery is one of the DARKEST chapters of American history. But it's also true that lot of brave Americans fought a war to END it. The question President @realDonaldTrump is asking is: Are we going to define our country based on our worst moments or our best?

@ScottJenningsKY @realDonaldTrump Dude - We need to take the Bitter with the Sweet. There needs to be honesty and integrity. Suck it up. Deal with it and move on. That’s how we truly grow. Recognizing and admitting to our fuckups; and and not hiding the fuckups.

@OldManLefty1 CRAPPY

It's just so....... what's the word I'm looking for?

@jongault_523581 @Tim_Walz True. But, news flash when two businessmen get together it’s because they have a common business interest. We ALL know what Epstein’s business was; and we ALL know Trump. Was he getting a cut of the action…or was he just there for the conversation.

I, for one, am shocked.

@tweetsbyJoy ?

People were asked “What is the cr*ziest thing you have done while being h*rny?”. Their replies will leave you in shock.😳 A Thread 🧵

@Oh_DatDudeCJ 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽Way to go! U R THE MAN!!!

Today marks 2 years since my last taste of liquor and drugs. I am proud of myself. No matter how many times I wanted to relapse, I knew if I did, all the work I put into my sobriety and the gifts that came with it would have went to waste. #RecoveryPosse #Soberversary

@atensnut The problem isn’t RINOs and DINOs; it’s Citizens United! We used to have the power to LIMIT money in politics. The Supreme Court took that away from We the People. Trump should sign an Executive Order limiting big money in politics!

WTF? He’s good as gone.

@bri35341840 @atensnut He’s a REPUBLICAN! Ie loyal only to his pocketbook.

@TheRichFromCali Security clearance- Yes Citizenship - No

@TheOnlyEsta Yes.

HYPOTHETICALLY‼️ Would YOU support this ticket again in 2028? YES or NO

@proudelephant Hell yeah. Trumps actions indicate that he is not of sound mind; he needs oversight. He is not to be trusted.

JUST IN: Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) just proposed a bill that would REQUIRE the President to get Congressional approval for new tariffs. Do you support this bill? YES or NO

@RossKneeDeep The data indicates this is very possible.

Let's revisit this. Do you believe that this guy "hacked" the election?

@icons_women @USAFencing Maybe there could be an Open division - allowing both Women and Men. Especially in sports relying on skill and speed, and maybe endurance rather than bulk muscle; women could probably compete very well.

🤺🚨Historic Protest: Female Fencer Takes a Knee in Bout Against Male Opponent, Faces Immediate Disqualification After receiving a black card for refusing to compete against a man, Redmond Sullivan's female opponent was expelled from the @USAFencing event at the Univ. of Maryland over the weekend. Sullivan fenced for the men's team at Wagner College last season before switching to the women's team this season.

@tay78798 @krassenstein Check your math.

@krassenstein Democrats need to get out of the way. They know how many people voted for Donald Trump and why we voted for Donald Trump. They are defying what 90% of the country voted for.

BREAKING: 34,000 people have showed up in Denver, Colorado this evening to see Bernie Sanders and AOC fight oligarchy and authoritarianism. Impressive! People are clearly angry at how things are going.
