We should all resend this letter to the Times every day for a month. If they still don’t print it, we should fund a full-page ad every day for a week.
As expected, the @nytimes.com refuses to address reality directly, hiding behind vaguely polite narratives and the misguided excuse of journalistic standards to avoid political backlash. But just because they rejected my letter due to its blunt honesty, doesn’t mean it can’t be read at all.

Weekly reminder that Brock Turner goes by Allen Turner now because Allen is his middle name.

His name is Brock Allen Turner.

Brock Allen Turner still lives in Ohio.

So as it turns out, Trump is worse for Gaza. Had we only known!
Donald Trump tapped retired Lt. General Keith Kellogg to be an Assistant to the President and Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia.

Here Keith is saying that "it makes no sense to have a Palestinian state. It's not going to happen."

How are all you Jill Stein voters feeling now? Clowns.

I don’t know what it is, but everything seems more complicated. Just a little more difficult or slightly off, to full on batshit. From taking care of myself & my family, to keeping up connections w/others, to the insanity of American politics. It just all feels harder & like I’m off kilter somehow.

Dear uninformed MAGA:

If you rely on unions or overtime pay - GONE

If you have ACA/Obamacare - GONE

If you enjoyed affordable diabetes Rx’s - GONE

If you depend on social security & Medicare - GONE

If you like 504s, IEPs & school buses in rural areas - GONE

Trump & Fox News lied to you.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

This is what’s meant by Republicans play the long game. THIS was Reagan’s goal in the 80s when he started cuts to education.
Which is precisely why the GOP constantly seeks to control and degrade the education process.

If you keep voters dumb and afraid, they’re far easier to manipulate.
Most of our problems could be solved by properly funding public education.

The controversy is not merely that Matt Gaetz raped underaged girls.

The controversy is not even just that Donald Trump wants to make this sex predator attorney general.

The controversy is that the entire GOP is OK with that.

You either believe everyone deserves equal rights or you don’t. Bending over backward to appease a real or imaginary electorate to retain power is pathetic. Dems kowtowing to conservative culture war BS is weak. Have some convictions

Why is misogyny so ingrained? Because for millennia weak men cannot get over the fact that we are the creators and they’re just contributors.

I may be from Missouri, but I will forever hold it against the Kansas City Chiefs that their managers gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to the anti-choice movement in Missouri. A disinformation campaign.

Also, Harrison Butker is a disgusting misogynist.
