If historians ever compile a "The Stupidest Things Politicians Ever Said" list, how can "I love inflation" not be at the top?

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

Hot weather ✅ Clothes to dry ✅ A medieval gateway called Walmgate Bar built in the 12th century on which to dry your pants? ✅ Up until 1956, local residents lived in the watchman's quarters. When this watercolour was painted around 1820, a family called Brown lived in the Bar.

@cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social do we HAVE to talk about the Habs game? Trying not to lose hope...it's been sooooo long since they hoisted the Cup.

#genealogy #FamilyHistory tip: Search on a female ancestor's married name in FamilySearch full-text search. You might find her mentioned in a relative's will. I was able to find a female ancestor's maiden name this way, mentioned in her father's will (her marriage record is lost/missing).

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to allow Rep. Joyce Beatty to attend a meeting of the Kennedy Center board. www.notus.org/courts/judge...

Luttig: Every single time Donald Trump opens his mouth or takes an action, the American people are forced to go into court and litigate. That’s the tragic place America finds itself in today. It is only the Supreme Court that is standing in the way of the American people saving their country.

President Trump has tried to withhold billions of dollars in federal funding to coerce states, punish opponents, remake programs and impose his views. His targets have repeatedly sued to stop him, and the courts have repeatedly rebuked him — only for the president to try again and again.

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February. A record number of Americans are withdrawing from their 401ks to cover expenses. Americans owe $18.5 trillion in debt — an historic high. Meanwhile, the wealth of America's 935 billionaires soared by $1.5 trillion in 2025. “Golden Age” for whom?

The 1953 Soviet propaganda illustration depicting "War" served at a restaurant table while other social needs are ignored by Yuliy Ganf. Published in 1953 for Krokodil magazine, it satirizes Western, particularly American, prioritization of militarism over social welfare.

@nikisharma.bsky.social You do realize where I live it will be dark until AFTER 9am? Have you any idea how depressing that is? #notoDSTinBC

@nikisharma.bsky.social I don't believe half the people who voted for DST actually understood the effects in the winter...I'm very, very depressed at the thought. ST has been shown by physicians and psychologists to be better as it's NATURAL. Why were we not given the choice b/w Standard and DST?

Rubio declares an emergency to bypass Congress to send $4 bn of arms to Israel. The possible orders include more than 35,000 bombs that are 2,000 lbs each—which US military officers say are unsuitable for urban combat—but which are responsible for the lion's share of civilian casualties in Gaza.
