The phrase "one nation under God" was officially added to the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance on June 14, 1954. Get rid of it.
Separation of church and state.

imagine blaming immigrants for taking your job when they had to start from scratch in a foreign country, learn a new language, build connections, and still compete for the same jobs. maybe the problem isn’t them. maybe you just don’t want to admit they are better than you.

Perhaps people have forgotten or were too young to remember but when conservatives swear to you that Obama was a divisive president, it’s because of stuff like this. He would say the most innocuous thing and we would get days of “Dem elitist” commentary from conservative media and pundits.
Again, it’s not lost on me that Obama compared Trump’s taste to that of Saddam Hussein in the same breath, and that Trump literally said he didn’t care about high gas prices the same day, yet none of that broke through. Because perceived threats to white cultural hegemony are actually what most of the last 10 years of politics have been about.
It’s the same reason why a Democrat’s career would be over for trashing Toledo, Ohio, why we still talk about Hillary’s “deplorables” gaffe, but Republicans say awful things about America’s largest cities and deny them federal funds and there’s barely a whimper of outrage.
the cheesecake factory discourse a back to the future reminder of what 2008-2016 was like on here. Obama makes funny joke revealing he's like the average American (fluent enough in gaudy chain restaurants to jest about a specific chain). GOPers decide it means he's not #oneofus. This goes on for days...

evergreen.
In a new poll, 15% of Americans said they believe between 1 and 5% of NCAA athletes are transgender.
14% think between it's between 6 and 25%.
Meanwhile, an NCAA spokesperson confirmed that the current number is "effectively" zero

You have to realize that every single billionaire is doing this shit in literally every single election, but on the down low. Musk is just too stupid to hide it.
America is an oligarchic dystopia.

Do we think it's a coincidence that after two rounds of Trump tax cuts for the richest people in America, the world got its first trillionaire—who's now dumped a record amount of money into influencing our elections?
This is all by design, folks.
Tax the rich. Immediately.

I keep telling you guys the Trump regime is not a government it's a criminal enterprise. We're living in a mobocracy

Very definition of an impeachable offense
Trump admitted he blocked energy funding to punish blue states he lost in 2024, including $586 million for Illinois.
Courts ruled it illegal. He's still blocking the money.
Bipartisan permitting reform won't work if Trump ignores the law. He must reinstate the grants first.

So this guy's passport was canceled. He's the literall definition of an illegal immigrant running from the law. (Money laundering)
Hand him over to @ICEgov as soon as he crosses the boarder.

CNN Brasil reports that Trump personally authorized Flávio Bolsonaro's entry into the U.S., and that American officials knew about the Brazilian passport order BEFORE he fled.
Folha is now reporting that Marco Rubio actively participated in arranging his departure, citing sources connected to both governments.
If that reporting holds up, we're looking at the U.S. helping a defeated presidential candidate evade another country's judicial authorities.
That's one hell of a diplomatic scandal.
There are major questions about how Flavio Bolsonaro left Brazil this morning with his family for the US without detection by Brazil.
All morning, Brazilian authorities were utterly confused and clueless. As rumors circulated that Bolsonaro had left Brazil, they had no idea if it was true. At one point, they thought they had located a plane in Argentina, but Bolsonaro wasn't on it. That seems to have been a decoy.
Some Brazilian media outlets are now reporting that the US Govt did not merely agree to allow Bolsonaro to enter, but actively planned, participated in and even executed the exit of Bolsonaro and his family from Brazil to the US: meaning that it was a covert extraction operation by US officials carried out right under the noses of Brazilian intelligence and law-enforcement agencies, who had no idea it was happening.
(Bolsonaro has now arrived in the US, but the secrecy of all this means the US Govt has not publicly spoken on it. Everyone, including me, is working on finding out their version).
There are lots of questions for both governments, some pretty serious implications as well, and ultimately lots of embarrassment for Brazilian officials no matter how it happened (to say nothing of the authoritarian and anti-democratic stench of having Brazil's globally notorious tyrannical judge order the passport seizure of Lula's opponent a mere 7 minutes after Lula was declared the winner).

Bolsonaro had his passport seized. He is a criminal illegal alien. The American taxpayer will now foot the bill to protect his crime family and their jet-setting across our country. All at a time where Trump says we have NO MONEY for *OUR** healthcare. Pathetic. Democrats must defund anything associated with this after the midterms and put the Bolsonaros NUMBER ONE ON THE DEPORTATION LIST when Trump is gone!!!!!!!

Hey @Microsoft , I will give you an idea to do layoffs.
1. Open youtube... Search "Day in life of a Microsoft Engineer".
2. You will get list of people who only eat but do not work in office.
3. Layoff them
