With JD Vance and all the fake populism, and now this. I don’t see any other path than the fascist one. Might be best to start looking at options to flee this hellhole.

UPDATE: They now have on a member of the Steamfitters union who is a “lifelong Democrat”… Yeah it’s pretty much over

      Not everywhere, in the children’s book my school used they retained that verse and even had complementary illustrations. I am sure some school boards have successfully gotten it removed, but it there are a not insignificant number of schools that keep the verse in.

        ♪ By the squares of the city

        In the shadow of the steeple

        By the welfare office

        I found my people

        As they stood there hungry

        I stood there whistling

        This land was made for you and me ♪

        ♪ This land is your land

        But it once was my land

        Before we sold you

        Manhattan Island

        You pushed our nations

        To the reservations

        This land was stole by you from me ♪

        There’s some really banger stuff in some versions of that song.
