The most corrupt president in American history endorses the most corrupt AG in Texas history against an absolute bootlicker and corruption wins over supplicancy. A truly deranged party rotten to the core.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin. This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

One of the stories that makes me the saddest out of this ICE invasion is one out of the Minnesota Star Tribune today about ICE agents eating at a little Mexican restaurant in the small town of Willmar, Minn, —and then, when they were done, arresting some of the workers.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Health insurers are jacking up premiums while raking in billions in profits. Expiring ACA subsidies will saddle millions of Americans with massive monthly premium increases. Is it any wonder that 63% of Americans now support Medicare for All?

So important! Fibroids have never gotten the attention that endometriosis has, but they can be as painful and have as much impact on fertility as endo. We need better treatment options than surgery or hysterectomy for those of us who hope to have children. The treatments are still too invasive.

Did you know every time you say “someone is toast,” you are paying homage to that great linguistic innovator, Bill Murray.
In the script, as the Ghostbusters train their proton blasters on Gozer, Murray's character says, "That's it! I'm gonna turn this guy into toast." By the time the scene was shot, the filmmakers had decided the human form of Gozer should be played by the model Slavitza Jovan. Murray improvised various comments about her, including changing the line in the script to "This chick is toast."

The Oxford English Dictionary recognizes Murray's ad-lib as the earliest known occurrence of "toast" with the modern meaning, calling the usage "proleptic." Prolepsis is a figure of speech in which a future state is represented as already occurring, so "You're toast" joined other proleptic expressions like "You're dead" or "You're history."

Searches on newspaper databases confirm this use of "toast" only took off after "Ghostbusters" hit it big at the box office in the summer of 1984. In September of thatThe 4 Ghostbusters from the 1984 movie
