Phang: It is a fundamental premise of the law that there is no requirement that a criminal defendant be forced to testify to explain away the government’s evidence. Hallagan went to law school and knows better, but she’s so stupid that she made that misstatement of the law to the grand jury.

The moment when 30 million American's received healthcare (2010) The moment when insurance companies had to start covering preexisting conditions, young adults could stay on their family's policy and I could trust that the small print couldn't screw me if I needed serious medical assistance. 🇺🇸

The things I would have said in response to him would have landed me in jail. I DGAF if you’re the president. You come at me with disrespect, you’re gonna get it back x 10. #FuckTrump
I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

Ain’t that the truth?!?
If this picture was of Obama, you know @FoxNews would do three weeks solid on why the flag was on the ground.
At least three weeks

I’m turning in, but, Plur1bus fans? Go read Octavia Butler’s PATTERNIST novels, starting with WILD SEED. Power dynamics and psychics and connected minds written by a science fiction grandmaster, you won’t regret it.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.
Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Yesterday, my fave SIL told me about a 12 yo girl who fell off her father’s fishing boat one cold windy night. Today, I banged out an entire short story from her POV. This, after not writing for years.
