America’s children deserve better than this.

So one of my favorite things in law school was when Fastow or Skilling, I think the latter, was telling professor Coffee that Coffee could not understand Enron bc it was too complicated for him, which lol. Yeah buddy. That’s bc you’re obviously criminal fraudsters. Take what you will.

Ah, happy 88th anniversary of the day Oswald Mosley tried to sell fascism to Liverpudlians – and someone concussed him with a brick

A man in a suit stands at a microphone which has been mounted on the roof of a van. There are loudspeakers at his feet, and a building behind him. He has an arm raised, and is flinching as projectiles are hurled at him, because he's a fucking Nazi
