Listen to Malcom Gladwell’s podcast special on how this was a way elites to hold class and status over the poor (and people of color).

President Ronald Reagan vetoed the Fairness in Broadcasting Act of 1987, which aimed to codify the FCC's Fairness Doctrine into law. Reagan argued it was unconstitutional, violated First Amendment free speech rights, and hindered independent journalism.

GEORGIA β€” β€œbeloved teacher” Dr. Linda Davis killed in a car crash as ICE chased a man through the streets: www.wtoc.com/2026/02/16/s...

Even the ICE release (which blames DemsπŸ€”) says his only crime was being undocumented: www.ice.gov/news/release...

Anti-immigrant = pro-destroying a state’s economy β€’ every state that embraces immigrants and gives them legal paths to citizenship grows. Minnesota is a prime example.

Support small businesses
- F@ck corporations - not a single one is standing up and they have billions to do it.

"Here, finally, is a worthy use of the NIMBY impulse that is so easy to activate for worse reasons." Friends, you can use that. I highly recommend going full Karen for the right reasons.

Epstein survivors are sharing the most important ad you’ll see today. Please watch. Trump and his administration are trying to cover up this scandal, but we are not moving on from it.

Defunding the locally controlled police looks bad. Defunding a federal agency that has 75billion dollars for the next four years (double what all other federal law enforcement agencies have combined) is a must. A lot of friends and family are police. only proud boys, and incels with tiny d’s are ICE

My wife did this but with women for her business (we live rurally where lots of women are made to stay home by their husbands).
Support minority owned businesses!

Yeah just like one less super yacht wealthy, and minus a fleet of super cars wealthy. A few of them don’t have families to even pass it down to, so then what? We have corporate boards wielding insane amounts of money, waging their own wars and takeovers with the billions at their disposal?

100%. Douchebags come in all kinds of trucks. But not every truck is a carrier of douchebags

In my experience it seems like dodge owners are much more likely to be douchey from the start.

Dodge pickups are a very typical sign of a fragile male white ego especially if they are lifted.

Screenshot of an X post by Rep. Ted Lieu (@RepTed…, 11h) stating that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche needs to resign. The post alleges Blanche got the law wrong regarding patronizing sex parties with alleged child trafficking, failed to redact victims’ names and pictures of children, and moved Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum-security prison and got her a puppy. Below is a video thumbnail showing Rep. Ted Lieu speaking at a podium indoors, with another man standing beside him and U.S. House seals and flags in the background.
