On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

Starting culinary school on Monday. A midlife career change is fucking exciting and terrifying in equal measure. But my history degree has done fuck-all for me, and I can't be a delivery driver forever. Just for once in my life, I need a decision I make to work out for me. Wish me luck.

Its worth keeping in mind that the reason FDR implemented so many social welfare policies was to preempt and defuse leftist parties The US then spent close to a century brutally beating and assassinating anyone who threatened to create a strong united Left.

New — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:

thehandbasket.co

Republicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problem

A spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

Ever wonder why democrats claim to resist Trump and to undo his policies despite voting to give him whatever he wants and confirming his appointments? 1. So they can run for reelection on those platforms And 2. So they can wield (not abolish) the illegal powers he took and they helped legitimize.

So a year ago I was randomly getting waves of nausea and vomiting after meals. Lost 30 pounds simply because I couldn't keep food down. Got an endoscopy and the official diagnosis was "*shrug* maybe acid?" Gave me prescription antacids. Seemed to help for a while, but now it's happening again. Cool.
