BTW the people who spent the last few years advocating for Palestine were clearly 100% right that normalizing war crimes and genocide there would just increase the likelihood of inhumane actions elsewhere. Just saying.
I know I'm far from the first to post this, but: man, the burning gall of paying one's taxes today, after being openly told exactly what kind of sicko genocidal schemes they will be used to fund. Really? You want me to tally up what I owe you right now?

FINALLY!!!

Sorry, he was fired by Dalton, not St David's.
What's really trippy is that my high school headmaster was #DonaldBarr, now infamous for his relationship with Epstein. Weird and trippy when I recall encounters with him. (He had been fired by the parents of St David's in Manhattan and ended upriver at my prep school. Guess they forgot to vet him.

Watch or (Rewatch) "The Mortal Storm" (1940) - Dir. Frank Borzage, about the rise of Nazism (starring Jimmy Stewart & Margaret Sullavan).
It so infuriated Joseph Goebbels that he banned it in Germany & also all MGM films.

Yeah. "It."
Says more about the Democrats than about Conway.
Hah!! I saw it when it first came out. I was a kid (maybe 9 or 10?) and I loved it so much. I've seen it 20 times or so. Still think it's exquisite.
Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008.
Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.
He still is a god.
Yup. That's how one should talk to a group of kids WHO ARE ALREADY TRAUMATIZED. Jesus Effing Christ.
This country's unbelievably pathological fetish with guns has absolutely got to stop. It's so, so very sick.
Right wingers are really not prepared for an era where their own normalization of gun culture and gun violence might be used against them and not just the people they hate
Here's a problem: the new housing that's being built in Berkeley is still atrociously expensive, to rent and certainly to buy. Funding is such that developers and operators are finding it difficult to pencil out so that folks with "normal" incomes can afford it.
Remember: Trump’s administration deported 3.13 million people during his first term. In comparison, Obama deported 3.16 million, while Biden deported 4.44 million individuals in 2021 and 2022.

people vote their values, not their material interest. and conservative values of deference to the wealthy, refusing assistance to the poor, refusal to invest in public good naturally demand the destruction of their own poorer communities.
She's a dick.

The F Train is my happy place. I've now lived in the Bay Area for 16 years, and I miss the NYC subway every time I leave my house.
The NYT’s politics are about as hard to figure out as Elon’s.
Same.
Ok, *this* is best comparative stat, members of media: The DC Pride parade one week ago had a bigger turnout.
Over the past 60 years, consider all of the assassinations in the US of those politicians and social movement leaders. Then consider that almost all of those killed were left leaning leaders challenging the conservative order run by the rich and corporations.
For nearly a decade, since Election Day 2016, the media and politicians have had a choice: Recognize that we were in a crisis like no other in our lifetimes, or pretend that we aren't. Nearly all politicians, and too many in the media, have chosen the latter.
Reminder: You don't actually need to even throw a brick at cops for cops to say you threw a brick at them
