Still trying to figure out the difference between AT&T and the mafia. Other than the fact that the mafia is honest about what they do.

On a black charger, spear held high, he rode into the distance across the night sky. Called into battle, he simply can't stay; when he'll return, the Fates cannot say. So valiant a warrior, with spear and shield, his courage will stand, his love will not yield. — Ellie and the Pear #Poetry

Sure, 25 million Americans have no health insurance, 36 million live in poverty and 13 million children go to bed hungry at night but by all means, let's definitely continue our 75 year campaign of successful regime change in Iran.

The only correction I would makes is, there is no more "before it is too late". It has been too late for months now. Congress needs to act and to then make sure it never happens again. I support tribunals and unassailable sentences that can't be reversed by future presidential pardons.

Today is a good day to remind your MAGAt and gun nut acquaintances and that the Trump Administration's agents took Alex Pretti's gun and then shot him 10 times.

I think we call all agree now that that whole “states' rights” thing was literally never about anything other than wanting to own slaves. And that the second amendment was literally never about anything other than wanting to maintain slave-patrol militias to suppress revolts.

In his seminal work, Total Resistance, Major H. von Dach Bern makes assumptions that may apply to Switzerland, but definitely do not apply to the US: that gun owners will donate their weapons to the cause. Most US gun owners will always side with authoritarians and totalitarians, not the resistance.
