I am surprised the National Rifle Association is getting upset over the murder of a legal permit carrying gun owner being murdered
I hope the NRA defies my expectations, because I expect them to return to supplication within days

My mayor told me police keep killing his constituents so I asked how many constituents he has and he said he just gives the police more money for training afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just paying the police to kill his constituents and then Matt Yglesias started crying.

I have to say, I'm a little frustrated, there are vast numbers of horrifying videos of ICE circulating privately right now, but a lot of paranoia about sharing them publicly on social media. Sharing is fairly low-risk and THE ONLY WAY the full scope of what's happening here will be understood.

Everyone telling you to use DuckDuckGo instead of Google because it doesn't have the same problems?
First 20 results have my excluded term in their TITLE. I change the wording to five words, first two are "how much"
None of the first 7 results have the only required inclusion term. DDG sucks

We have a mostly psychopathically anti non-white immigrant party and a mostly tough on immigration party. Therefore, the people that want to be tough on immigration but are not amoral psychopaths feel torn. Politics will make more sense to anyone who understands this

English loves it's wild non phonetic spellings and emphasis rather than phonic driven speech, but gets upset at their predictable consequences
This is coming from a place of love and support, but…
It’s ‘shoo-in,’ not ‘shoe-in.’
It’s ‘case in point,’ not ‘case and point.’
It’s ‘moot point,’ not ‘mute point.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘jibe with,' not 'jive with.'

Steven Miller's assertion that laws don't matter - that our word doesn't matter - and that the only thing that does matter is the power to inflict violence, is the single most dangerous statement *to Americans* that could have been made. It is an invitation to widespread reprisal and hostility.
