When I was a little boy, the Japanese military attacked Pearl Harbor. It was a surprise attack, and thousands of U.S. servicemembers perished. As a nation, we were stunned. And we vowed to strike back. Revenge was understandably on everyone’s mind, including many Americans of

The idea that GOP are about to nominate Jim Jordan of all people (yes, Jan 6th Jim Jordan, ban-all abortions-from-conception Jim Jordan, sexual abuse coverup Jim Jordan) for *Speaker of the House* in an attempt to save their majority… they deserve to lose.

A concerned grandmother messaged me because she didn't know who else to reach out to. Notice...she thought to reach out to the teacher running for State Rep in Searcy and didn't think to reach out to the ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE in her district with this concern. 2/x

It's often said Little Rock would boom if we just had better schools. That's a myth, Baker Kurrus writes. Schools are downstream of community / economic dysfunction. And Arkansas LEARNS will make problems worse, because it further fractures communities. arktimes.com/arkansas-blog/…

Razorback Fans—I need your help with RTs please!  Chevrolet is helping our friends at @americancancer raise funds for research. For every RT of #wedrivefor they will donate $5! Can we get 100 RTs?s  As the daughter of a breast cancer survivor this is really important to me!

"If people were really concerned about 'the children,' they would be going after the internet, YouTube, TikTok, movies," Patty Hector said. "The sexualization of children is prevalent in those sources—very much less so in books." Read our Q&A with Hector: arktimes.com/arkansas-blog/…

Kentucky Virginia Ohio And, hell yeah, Arkansas! We can stiffen our spines, stop giving up “because it’s hard,” (big damn woop) and kick ass the way these states did.

This is not merely a coincidence. It is deliberate. We must not sit idly by as fascism rears its ugly head in America. Share this image far and wide so everyone you know understands the stakes of the 2024 election.

It’s happening again. “Vermin” “They are poisoning the blood of our country” His rhetoric traces directly back to Adolf Hitler. In a normal time, he would be immediately drummed out of politics. Out of our public discourse. Every sane American would be horrified at him

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Elephants are born weighing 250 lbs. They are the biggest babies on earth except for the people mad at Taylor Swift for being excited at a football game.

Trauma Brain tells us we gotta be "perfect" to avoid abandonment-- so we scramble & stress to be "perfect." Thing is, it's a scam: the illusory "perfection" we've been chasing has actually been f*cking up the excellence we're realistically capable of achieving. The hell, man.
