What universe was this man living in? I remember that year. It was terrorist everything. "Keep shopping/going to school/buying stocks or the terrorists win." You know what we couldn't say? French fries. (Freedom fries.) Conservative pressure groups tried to get The Two Towers film renamed.

Ukraine can't wait around until Trump realizes he's being played by Putin. And even then, he seems to always give Russia another chance. How many times has that happened? Pathetic!

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

***IMPORTANT THREAD*****

If you are anywhere near York County, South Carolina, PLEASE show up to their board meeting tomorrow. It is, of course and intentionally, at NOON tomorrow at For Mill Library.

Here's York County Library's background, yes, still ongoing: bookriot.com/whats-happen...
What's Happening in York County Library (SC) Should Be A Wakeup Call
Poor recording keeping, debates over what was or was not said and voted on, and special interests plague more than just this library system.

When they called up their reps, the office standard reply was "We can't afford it. We told you what the new taxes were needed for, and you chose not to have them. "

"If you'd like the streetlight closest to your house lit up, though, we can do that for a few thousand dollars, plus a daily fee."

Stories like this remind me of a true story from small-town America, where a municipality's residents voted down local tax increases over and over, for years.

Then, one day, the streetlights turned off. For good. And every was just so angry and confused.

This is my thing. I see a lot of the new racist content and it is coming from teenagers. It's not dying out, it is just getting a new spokesperson
We been "waiting for the old folks to die so we can stop being racist" for every single one of my 53 years. It's almost like, they pass it down generationally or something.

For some men (and women) sports seem like an outlet for emotional volatility, for others it seems like a trigger for it. Maybe if we didn’t appoint major media figures based primarily on bed-head and extreme mood lability the culture would be better.
Everything else aside, the idea that this is a model for many men of *masculinity* is so wild. This? This is "manly"? This is how people think it's cool to act?

So when the #AmericanGestapo says their arrests involve people committing crimes, they are technically correct. But the criminals are in ICE, not Home Depot parking lots or street taco stands.
Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?

A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.
