Here because of my disgust with Elon & for the writers & editors Writer still unpublished. I'm a freelance flak, because my 2 MA's (African Studies/International Affairs) never led to a career & law school wouldn't have me. I did manage to raise 2 kids.

It’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.

They warned me that if I voted for Kamala Harris we’d get a new deal with the Iranian regime worse than the JCPOA. I voted for Kamala, and they were right.

Mamdani feels so refreshing because he's **an emotionally regulated man** who is unthreatened by other people. Related: watching a gregarious public servant connect with other people and express joy and pleasure at helping is a gift.

Sentinels at the Bacchanal
Military participation in the spectacle in D.C. is a reminder that trust in our armed forces depends on them standing apart.

I think he may mean venomous, as in injecting a toxin. Poisonous means the toxin is harmful if licked, eaten, or inhaled and I can personally attest women who color their hair are delicious

Confucius 500 BC: "By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest." It is perhaps more relevant to look at China given their long, contextual view vs US rushed, selfish philosophy.

Presumably every member of the contracting team will need high level security clearance, and if there’s any lapse, it will need to be demolished by a subsequent administration to avoid the “multiple embedded bug” problem seen in some embassies in the past. What a clear security risk!

Bukele doesn't "have something" on Trump. Trump isn't afraid to fight for Garcia's return. He doesn't want him returned. Trump and Bukele are engaged in a mutually-beneficial authoritarian partnership designed to profit off the destruction of legal protections. That's it. It isn't that hard.

It is time for the American Bar to stand up and strip the license from any lawyer who is breaking their oath of constitution or otherwise going against their requirements via the bar. Now. Right Now. They should alert law firms they will do this.

Through new policies and aggressive cuts, the Trump administration is taking steps that will encourage more pollution while muffling the science that shows its harms. The very air that Americans breathe will likely become less safe, @zoeschlanger.bsky.social reports:

Breathing in America Is Going to Get More Dangerous
A third of Americans still breathe unhealthy air after decades of improvements—which the Trump administration wants to roll back.

The political lesson of Watergate is this: Never again must America allow an arrogant, elite guard of political adolescents to by-pass the regular party organization and dictate the terms of a national election. Gerald R. Ford Guess the Republicans didn't learn that lesson

Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) tariffs make no economic sense because “[t]hey aren’t designed as economic policy. The tariffs are simply a new, super dangerous political tool.”

it's the least funny thing in the world, as far as I'm concerned. if we are at the point of armed invasion of our neighbors, we are in secret wartime resistance territory, not "orderly elections" territory. does Ukraine get to "vote" in Russian elections? I do not believe so.

To the 10 Dems that voted to censure Al Green, You're part of the problem here, why the party can't get their shit together. The "Republicans" at least all join forces in kissing Cheeto Satan's ass. There should have been a rally behind Green, not this bullshit. Figure it out fuckers, quickly.
