The road to winning back the Biden skippers

And more importantly, I think, how to win them back:

I am very much here for this. Brothers and sisters need to rise up against this plague.

If you weren’t already boycotting Target, boycott Target.

Also?

My free advice reading this is never, ever use self-checkout. Never. Not worth risking this.

In case you needed another reason to never ever shop at Target again, here’s a story of a school teacher mom arrested on a Sunday afternoon based on a false claim with no evidence that she shoplifted from the self-checkout line

I miss clever, sober, focused leadership. I hope our Canadian friends will forgive us some day, but I recognize that it won't be any time soon.

I don't like to do this, but I could really use a new gig. If you need somebody to write about your tech products and projects, I'm your guy. If you know somebody who needs to sell things, reach new audiences, or tell some jokes, I'd love to talk to you.

Dozens of people showing up at members’ town halls in 2009 was enough for The Media to declare the Tea Party Movement™️ as a key force in American politics — for years — as the Obama administration was getting going.

Consider that when you see how those same papers cover today’s protests.

As I posted in the other thread, I'm not in favor of outing closeted people who mind their own business. But closeted politicians who undermine out LGBTQ people's rights are fair game.

So let despicable Lindsey have it, Dr. Annie Andrews!

Men need to women up and know when to help.

This is the domestic violence hand signal.

Doesn’t this map look like the warhead deployment map from Wargames? Tin ear, indeed.

reshare for alt text, republicans and rich people who want to privatize mail have been lying about the USPS and trying to push this narrative longer than I've been alive, and imposing massive financial burdens on it to make it "insolvent"

How do we convince Americans that taxes are not theft? How do we shed the Reagan-era framing hammering home the idea that government is a problem that must be extinguished? American government is supposed to be the big lever that crowbars big things into place for the benefit of everyone.
Right?

Is playing fast and loose with the Congressional Post Office what got Dan Rostenkowski in trouble?

Dear Mr. Beloved Gondelman,
The Patriots are owned by the president’s friend. I really just can’t even with that.
You know, if you’re catching what I’m pitching.

actions to take as ICE intensifies ways to support MN and your own community

As state terror amps up, here's a list of actions you can take now--

a lot of resources

and a list of upcoming virtual trainings on a number of topics:

Have them on the broadcast! Let them say it with their full chest and put their name and face on it.

Respectfully, children's hospitals don't have the tools to fight the federal government. Even if they have Bonta's support, litigation takes time. If funding is withheld by the feds, that'll have a big effect on providing care for everyone.
All of this is awful, but can CHOC realistically fix it?

The DHS funding bill is effectively dead in the Senate.

Agree.

No one outside the US, who has a choice, should be enabling a lawless and lying regime. Which has become a threat to its own people and the entire world.

(Speaking as an American patriot.)

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.
