Gerald Ford and America’s “moral obligation” to refugees
I mean, yeah, sure, he pardoned a criminal president, which gave us the crimes of Reagan, Bush the Lesser, and now Trump, but Ford wasn’t *all* bad.
At least he wasn’t a raging racist POS.
It’s happening here: when book bans hit home
Never…EVER…side with the book burners and banners and censors. They do not have your best interests at heart and are using group ignorance to lie, steal, and eventually kill you. And there are here in Minnesota as well.
SPLC: Veterans on Patrol
If you saw pics and video of a family being terrorized last week by a bearded “ICE agent” bashing in their windows to abduct them, it wasn’t a federal agent. It was a militia member cosplaying as an officer of the law.
He is head of a terrorist organization called “Veterans on Patrol“, which apparently is allowed to abuse people on the word of the president.
Feeling great again yet?
Update: of course ICE now says it isn’t him, despite the concept of an agent not adhering to dress standards. Which means they condone this behavior. Clown show all around.

Trump’s National Park Service Brings Its Revisionist History to the Underground Railroad
Do not tell me you are a proud American and are also a Republican.
You are not. You are a liar. They erased Harriet Tubman from an Underground Railroad NPS website. You know, the lady that would currently be on our $20 bill if Trump hadn’t stopped it from happening.
DOGE, our public lands, and the future of America’s national parks
Hopefully they will update this with the audio. I only caught part of the story but yet another in our damning current history of a nation sliding towards economic collapse as well as a loss in valuing things that matter more than money.
We Cannot Ignore the War on Free & Fair Internet
I was waiting for this.
Ugh.
Fucking Ajit Pai is back and trying to kill our net freedoms, such as they are after his last pass.
Elon Musk’s Family History in South Africa Reveals Ties to Apartheid & Neo-Nazi Movements
“The Best People” always seem to end up meaning autocrats and racists. Often both.
