Yeller in the stands. With the writer of words, in the newspaper margins, in a Birmingham jail.. Vonnegut, Saroyan, Tolstoi, Kingsolver, W.T.Vollmann, Upton Sinclair, Cormac Mccarthy, "The Count of Monte Cristo". I could go on, but you get the idea.

Fetterman is garbage. He betrays the people who fought for him when he was at his lowest point - and that fight is the only reason he’s in the senate. Now he’s actively working to raise money for Republican PACs.

NEW: NEW: John Fetterman's fundraising firm, MissionWired, quit working for him in June. So he started offering right-wing groups like RedMajorities and TrumpTruth a hefty commission to raise him money. Even Sen. Mike Lee has joined the rush for cash. Gift link: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Schmitt answered: "We'll put it in a file. You can respond. I think you've already perjured yourself." He went on to call Smith a "villain" and a "dirtbag". When someone shows you who they are, believe them. Something like that... Vote like hell in November!

Smith will be remembered for his stellar commitment to the rule of law. Schmitt will be remembered for his sheer incompetence, and for being a MAGA toady.

If you’re not from Missouri, you may not know that Eric Schmitt got his start in MAGA politics by suing public schools for mask mandates while their teachers died during a pandemic. The really strange thing? He never sued his own kids’ school for their mask mandate. He’s a piece of Schitt.

De Russen hebben ervaring met uithongeren. De Holodomor in Oekraïne met 4-5 miljoen doden in de jaren 30 van de vorige eeuw. Minder bekend is de Asharshylyk in Kazachstan met 2 miljoen doden in dezelfde periode. Toen met Stalin. Het stokje wordt overgenomen door Poetin.

In 2014, I interviewed a Columbia University student who went from class to class carrying the mattress she was raped on—a protest performance piece to remind college administrators what they put on her shoulders. Twelve years later, we still expect women on college campuses to carry that weight.
