The Ides of April (for the most part)?
Though hopefully the most recent event in the history of this date signals that a current nightmare will soon be over.

April 15 is a curiously fraught day in American history. In 1861, President Abraham Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers to put down a rebellion in the southern states. In 1865, Lincoln breathed his last at 7:22 a.m., and Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, who adored the president, said, “Now he belong..

A story from HCR from the 1850s which has a similarity to what's happening today, and which first got her interested in history.

Why are push mowers so expensive? This reminds me when I was a kid I wanted a Ken doll, my dad didn't want me playing with a girl's toy. So he bought me one of those water ring toss things. You know the one where you push the button and it shoots rings up and onto pegs? Anyway. Mowers are expensive.

Dan Wentzel @DanWentzelIt's insane that teeth, eyes, and ears were left out of regular health insurance in America. Support the Medicare and Medicaid Dental, Vision, and Hearing Benefit Act
They should be declared essential benefits for the ACA too. #Medicare #Medicaid #healthinsurance #healthcare01:59 PM - Jun 21, 2023

DOJ believes there are GAPS in the security tapes Trump handed over.
How do they know? Because they ALSO received the tapes from the security vendor.
If we read between the lines -- DOJ has caught Trump trying to doctor the security footage.
Obstruction of justice. Slam dunk.

Never forget that we moved heaven and earth to bring Osama bin Laden to justice. Not because he flew an airplane into the World Trade Center on 9/11, but because he incited his followers to do it for him.
Now the world is waiting for us to hold Donald J. Trump accountable.

Donald Trump could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot someone and six years later we'd all be going "where the fuck is the indictment already"

Christopher Bouzy is giving us the opportunity to recreate the online experience. No more targeted harassment, no fascist propaganda and no white supremacy. No selling ad space to foreign adversaries. If this site lives up to its promise, think of the positive implications it will have for 2024.

I. AM. RUNNING.
You heard it here first! I am officially launching my campaign to unseat Lauren Boebert and restore dignity to #CO03 representation.
We lost by a mere 546 votes in '22 — the closest race in the country — and know we can make that up in '24.

In response to Michael J Elston.
IMO, they are reticent or unwilling to think the unthinkable, to say the unspeakable, that the republican party is hostile to, and a real threat to, democracy. So they attribute their general unease to easy things.
