The last person to notice the building is on fire doesn't deserve a prize. Especially if he's been excusing arsonists for decades.

Hey. Focus. The Oscar-winning co-director of NO OTHER LAND was just "lynched" by settlers and abducted by IDF soldiers in the West Bank. This was witnessed first-hand by his co-director.

I think I like the real leader of the Democratic Party. (He's leading but maybe too far ahead for some of them to see?)
"Let's not take the soul-sucking path of sacrificing the most persecuted for that which we deem to be most popular. I know that there are transgender children right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am."

I try to read the obituaries of journalists who had long and varied careers. With time, the pretense of objectivity wanes. Today's is Max Frankel, best known as the executive editor of the New York Times from 1986 to 1994.

I am so grateful that these jackasses are such idiots. Whatever they’re planning to do is a bad idea. It’s great that they’re telling the whole world about it ahead of time so someone can stop them from starting World War III.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Trump had declared himself King with another treasonous executive order that usurps power from Congress and administrative agencies. Those who have taken an oath to defend the Constitution must take immediate action to remove Trump and his illegitimate regime from power now. #NoKings
Trump signs order to claim power over independent agencies
The action is likely to face court challenges and test a once-fringe legal theory.
