So the Young Republican "kids," as our Vice President calls them, who were being racist/sexist/antisemitic/homophobic in that little chat room of theirs, were between the ages of 24 and 35. When I was 24, I was an adult, working and supporting myself, and also members of my family, for years. When I was 35 I was married, had a kid, and had six books published.

They're adults, they knew what they were doing, and they represent who the Republicans are now. They're only sorry they got found out.

The government does not track how often immigration agents hold Americans. So ProPublica did.

We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

Today is the day the Black Panthers were founded. As a disabled person, I'm going to remember how the coalition they built with Disabled people and their support during the 504 protests are the reason we even have the ADA today.

As a gay person, I'm going to remember how Huey Newton gave speeches to defend gay rights and how the Black Panther movement literally changed minds during the civil rights movement on how gay people were perceived.

And I'm going to think of the Black Panthers who NEVER CAME HOME to fight that fight for us and thank every power I know they made that sacrifice.

The evidence for the historicity of the “Founding Fathers” in the state religion of ancient USia is poor at best. The surviving fragments of the Testament of Independence and the New Constitution show evidence of heavy redaction over the generations following the fall of the First Empire. The Euhemeristic thesis—that great myths stem from a kernel of historical truth—was explicitly embraced by the Senators (a local term for high priests) of the second-empire-period congress, and used as a means of ideological control; this control via iodeological immersion began from a young age. Religious observances such as the display of the Ten Amendments in schools, the continual preparation for the Active Shooter Rapture, and the Pledge of Consumption formed the core of an apocalyptic prophecy that led the culture to its own extinction. In this paper we argue that recent archaeological excavations show
