On Dec 20, 1777, the Kingdom of Morocco became the world's first country to recognize U.S. independence. Sultan Mohammed III ordered Moroccan ports to open to American ships & an alliance was built.

Some ignorantly claim that Islam & Muslims are incompatible with America. In truth, America's longest global alliance is with Muslim majority Morocco.

So this July 4th—recognize that America’s greatness is as a secular nation that celebrates people of all faiths & no faith on the tenets of justice.

So the Republican frontrunner for the presidency is hosting a lucrative golf tournament funded by Saudi Arabia this weekend? Seems like a good topic of conversation. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/05/24/trump-saudis-golf-republicans/

Why aren’t we talking more about Trump’s business with the Saudis?

The Republican front-runner is earning money from and promoting the Saudi crown prince's business.

When authoritarian leaders lose office, they come back, like, 10 times worse — they never get less extreme, they always get more extreme,” Ben-Ghiat said. “January 6 was a profoundly radicalizing event for the base, for the GOP and for Trump himself, because even assaulting the Capitol you could get away with. His campaign events have to be seen as that of an extremist radicalizing people and emotionally reeducating people to hate people.” @ruthbenghiat https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/05/24/trump-language-policy-2024-race/

The deepening radicalization of Donald J. Trump

Watch how the former president’s positions and rhetoric have grown more confrontational and extreme as he seeks a second term.

You know they’ve jumped the shark in Florida when they start banning the poem Amanda Gorman presented at Biden’s inauguration.

Kudos to #California.

What is your state doing to identify and avoid the #textbooks revised to ingratiate #Florida extremists?

Greg abbot is going to sign SB14 into law this week. People under 18 will basically lose all autonomy of their bodies You know, because they’re to young to understand their sexuality. But, 14 yr olds can work. 16 year olds can operate a motor vehicle alone. There is NO MINIMUM AGE to process a gun in texas. 12 year old with an assault rifle is cool. You can get married at 17 in texas! All these facts and they still say at 17 1/2 you aren’t mature enough to know your sexuality. Fuck texas nazis

The NAACP issued a formal travel advisory for Florida on Saturday, saying the state has become “hostile to Black Americans” under Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) leadership. “On a seeming quest to silence African-American voices, the Governor and the State of Florida have shown that African Americans are not welcome in the State of Florida,”…
