Way past time. The damage done by Fox (and other RW sites) impacts millions & has incalculable costs to this nation on dozens of topics… from climate change, to gun safety, to abortion, & to taxes. Taking NO action is NOT an option.

"DeSantis claimed he "wasn’t involved" and attributed the curriculum to "scholars." But the so-called "scholars" were a work group that was hand-selected by the DeSantis administration."
DeSantis can run, but he can't hide.

Meet the "scholars" who created Florida's new Black history curriculum
To comply with the Stop WOKE Act, a 2022 law championed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R), the state needed to create a new curriculum for Black history. The law required the curriculum to "celebrate the inspirational stories of African Americans who prospered, even in the most difficult cir..

The MAGA vandals - The Warning with Steve Schmidt
America is being vandalized. Specifically, the American people are being abused and denigrated by their politicians. More precisely, they have become the targets of systemic gaslighting from the MAGA radicals and fascists who seek power by overturning democracy — lest they be forced to share it with..

People using “not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character” to deter discussion of, teaching about, and protest against racism are not students of the comprehensive #mlk . My father’s dream and work included eradicating racism, not ignoring it.

I pity anyone who has to drag around "We're the greatest!" baggage and make everyone else listen.
Imagine a pro QB with a great past at a new team; he says he's the best ever. But they played against him and saw the 5 picks in a playoff and the 3-win season.
Come to help the team instead.

Don't mayosapiens ever get tired of trying to replace VP Kamala Harris or diminishing her accomplishments?
Short answer - NO.
Long answer - they'll keep looking for their "Great White Hope" because misogynoir is a hell of a drug.06:08 PM - Jul 23, 2023![Picture]()

Six years ago today, I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, Hodgkin’s lymphoma. After six months of chemotherapy & a month of radiation treatments, here I still am.
The Affordable Care Act paid for the treatments that saved my life. But Republicans are still attacking it.

1. History is not there for you to like or dislike.
2. History is there for you to learn from it.
3. History offends you? Even better. Then you are less likely to repeat it.
Please read this out loud, then read it again. Then teach it to your children and grandchildren.
