A lot to digest at 72 and 107 pages, respectively. With TFG in power, these may be among the last we'll see for years, if ever again......

FSU student who knew suspected shooter says he was removed from club for white supremacist views
Source: NBC News
FSU student Reid Seybold described locking down with classmates during the campus shooting, hiding under desks and hearing the door handle rattle. He texted loved ones goodbye, fearing for his life. Seybold later learned the suspected shooter was Phoenix Ikner, someone he knew from a political club at his former college, where Ikner was asked not to return due to white supremacist views.

Another Florida Fascist and white supremacist.
RIP to those past, speedy recovery to those wounded and peace be with all affected families.

She should explain what happened to Sam's Made in The USA campaign.
Yea, I'm old enough to remember that run of Walton bullshit that didn't last very long......
I will give Walmart credit for relatively high contributions to Democrats compared to many similar retail companies. However, 49% to Democrats vs. 51% to Republicans is not much to brag about considering the Rethugs don't give a damn about low wage workers.
Remember the GOP's former love of Raygun's shining city on a hill?
That vision did not originate from Reagan and can be found many times in speeches by President Kennedy, President Obama and many others, although Republicans as usual laid claim to it.
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_upon_a_Hill
Today's Republicans are extinguishing that light, dulling that shine, stealing all the city's treasures, locking all gates to the city and giving the keys to compliant billionaires.
Pound that thought up the arse of any MAGAt you encounter and let us know how they respond.
I do love this elegant, inspiring excerpt from one of JFK's speeches found in the above Wiki link:
On January 9, 1961, President-elect John F. Kennedy quoted the phrase during an address delivered to the general court of Massachusetts:
... I have been guided by the standard John Winthrop set before his shipmates on the flagship Arabella three hundred and thirty-one years ago, as they, too, faced the task of building a new government on a perilous frontier. "We must always consider", he said, "that we shall be as a city upon a hill—the eyes of all people are upon us". Today the eyes of all people are truly upon us—and our governments, in every branch, at every level, national, state and local, must be as a city upon a hill—constructed and inhabited by men aware of their great trust and their great responsibilities. For we are setting out upon a voyage in 1961 no less hazardous than that undertaken by the Arabella in 1630. We are committing ourselves to tasks of statecraft no less awesome than that of governing the Massachusetts Bay Colony, beset as it was then by terror without and disorder within. History will not judge our endeavors—and a government cannot be selected—merely on the basis of color or creed or even party affiliation. Neither will competence and loyalty and stature, while essential to the utmost, suffice in times such as these. For of those to whom much is given, much is required....

The GOP's gutting of American society.continues.
From: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/society
society

2. A group of people who meet from time to time to engage in a common interest; an association or organization.
3. The sum total of all voluntary interrelations between individuals.
4. The people of one’s country or community taken as a whole.
5. A number of people joined by mutual consent to deliberate, determine and act toward a common goal.
GOPers say there's nothing in that definition about corporate profits so it must be useless and therefore destroyed.......
Probably entered and took selfies in the manager's chair while wearing....
Ray Ban Aviators just like President Biden's.....

Let's call it what it really is: The Republican Party.
The events we're witnessing have been in their evil wet dreams for decades, reinforced by Heritage Foundation, American Enterprise Institute, the Federalist Society (and dozens of other right-wing think tanks), and trumpeted by News Corp and many right-wing radio stations.
The Republican Party. is all about protecting the power and wealth of corporations and the ultra-wealthy, proven by their contributions to the above mentioned organizations and any and every conservative political campaign from dog catcher to president.
Our democracy (or what little is left of it) will not survive much longer so long as we've under the thumb of high-wealth people and institutions.
Trump is just their populist message boy.
Almost forgot the parasite of all parasites.
Trump brought in some old sewer rat friends to keep his cockroaches in line......
And this is probably just the first round of cuts.
They're really going to love it when the trickle-down effects of TFG's budget comes around for four straight years.
I've watched republicans pull this crap for decades:
* Pick a government function, property or benefit you want to eliminate and profit from.
* Lie like graveyard dogs to get elected, then start defunding said government function.
* After that public benefit starts to falter and citizens get pissed, go on Faux Snooze and say "see, we told you it was no good and needs to be sold off to private enterprise".
* Pad your pockets and those of your billionaire supporters with the proceeds.
* Right-wing extremist job done!
Tough shit, yaw'll. Get ready to become a mining camp.......
This is what Republican stupidity has brought us to. That is....
throwing all humanitarian aid into the hands of charities, thereby masking the need for us to ACT AS A NATION.
This line of thinking is so libertarian and fascist it stinks to high heaven. Hiding from our fellow human's struggles will be at our own long-term peril.
We're already flooded each week with numerous mailings from various charity and human rights organizations and with very limited income, it's heartbreaking to not support them all even with a small donation.
Oh, and I never ever want to hear any Rethuglican claim to be Christian......
