Forcing myself to say goddam out loud. I was walking home from school, probably 5th grade. It took several blocks to get the whole thing out.

I replied to someone and was invited to “use the hashtag.” I don’t think I’ve ever used a hashtag and I’m not sure I want know how.

This book starts with Dunbar-Ortiz’s own experience with firearms as a young left activist, and then lays out the continuity of US gun craziness, from genocide and slave patrols to mass shootings, and the connecting tissue of the 2nd amendment for all of it.

The total number of words, and of different words used, in the gospels is small. The explanation offered by biblical scholars is that the message was thought to be too important for any obfuscation.

The point is people keep saying vote for Democrats because…. because why? They’ve abandoned labor and their knee jerk response is move center.

Smugness is a great way to win friends and influence people. Keep it up. It is working so well. “Liberals and pundits like to wonder why blue-collar workers keep voting ‘against their own economic self-interest,’ the authors wrote, but this is the wrong framing entirely.” shorturl.at/47y2e

Why so many blue-collar workers drifted from Democrats
New book puts mid-century unions at center of Rust Belt identity and social life. Shifting economy splintered community and fostered disillusionment.

No contempt for the milksops in the, so-called, opposition party? Dems keep blaming everyone but themselves. Something they have in common with Trump.

I didn’t throw my vote away. I canvassed, and voted, for Sanders twice. My support for him is what got me on email lists from people who are doing mostly nothing.

I’ve been hearing vote blue no matter who since I became eligible to vote. It is not a convincing platform. All I get from mainstream Dems are emails asking for money.

I lived in a college town in Oklahoma for a while and my brother and I were in a band. One night the college radio station sponsored a Bad Brains show at a little club. I knew one of the DJs and he asked if they could stay at our place. It was perfect for them because we had a music room. 1/2

A reminder that the yahoos were not always against masks.
A full page ad from the Moral Majority Report sometime in the 1980s, with a picture of a white family — parents and two young  children — all wearing masks.  The caption reads “Homosexual Diseases Threaten American Families.”

As a child protection professional, I can tell you the death penalty is NOT an awesome solution to child sexual abuse. Most children are abused by family members; they will not report if their family members will die as a result.
