Ratio me. Please. It's a badge of honor. If you don't like a link, go follow some chicken-heart who needs the approval of the thought-police. Caitlin Flanagan of @theatlantic.com is a tremendous writer and this piece is an excellent read. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I don’t want to vote for a Democrat who promises to get Trump’s voters to vote for them. I want a Democrat who wants to put Trump in prison

One of the exhibits at the National Holocaust Museum is simply a TV with a 20 minute loop listing the restrictions gradually passed to choke the life out of untermenschen - particularly Jews. It really impresses on you this point exactly. The Nazis didn’t start with the death camps.
This is precisely how fascism works, by grabbing at and taking away a little more freedom whenever events lend themselves to it. Bit by bit you lose your rights, until you turn around and realize the road you're on has been long, and democracy is well behind you over the horizon.
The admin is wasting no crisis... Sec. Kristi Noem said she is suspending the diversity visa lottery program (DV-1) after the Brown University suspect entered the U.S. through it in 2017.

They should be pounding on Trump’s culture of corruption instead of creating their own.
"House Democrats on Thursday voted to return Rep. Henry Cuellar to his leadership role on the House Appropriations Committee following his presidential pardon on federal corruption charges."
JICYMI - Shameful, repulsive move by House Democrats and their leaders. Disgraceful.

Lotsa people are complaining about the years they’ve assigned to each generation. But at least they remembered Gen X
Primary finding is that millennials are terrible at finding the porn they like. “Fetish”?
Maybe generational divides are real

The advantage of a democracy is not that the people never make a bad choice.
The advantage is that no one is stuck with the bad choice for decades unless they *keep making it.*

This is one of those things that I think is quietly important – when these people are talking shit about cities, Portland or Minneapolis or New York or Charlotte or wherever, you have to loudly say, “no, fuck you, you’re lying, that town and its people whip ass and you’re the asshole”

This OKC team really plays by different rules. It’s wild to listen to the commentators too. Rudy’s graze on Hartenstein was a flagrant, but Caruso literally jumping on top of Anthony Edwards is a “1990s style foul”
I’m tired.

Sure is great that the Wolves don’t have any more challenges with 35 minutes to go thanks to having to use two already to fix bad officiating. Great product, NBA!
