The United States has always been a nation of fools, hypocrites, thieves, con artists, marks, and shameless liars.

It's not an accident that the Great American Novel is (probably, depending on who you ask) Mark Twain's Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn.

It says we were all those things 150 years ago.

Why do I resent two whole months of the year being swallowed by a Christian religious holiday?

Mostly because 99% of the Christians I have ever met would have turned the Virgin Mary away and probably called the police on her and Joseph, screaming "Go back to where you came from, illegal immigrant!"

STOP. THE. BAN. ON. BOOKS.
Fourteen books have already been banned in Utah’s K-12 schools.

Another 25 are on the shortlist.

The bulk of the reports to the Utah State Board of Education come from just two school districts.

78M is just 23% of our population. Lots of people have reasons they didn't, couldn't, or aren't eligible to vote. I wish more had, and we weren't here, but that ship sailed. Now we have to fight back and unite with those folks at least. We can't just walk away or condemn vast swaths to suffer. (3/x)

I'm a veteran who works with several progressive veterans groups representing millions. We aren't a monolith. If your answer to things is "well it's what they wanted" we're never going to stop the worst actions coming or take this country back. Most people didn't vote for Trump. Yes, really. (2/x)

Just do me a favor. Before you say "veterans all voted for Trump so fuck them" or something similar keep in mind that if you're a white woman or Gen X white man we could say the same. Second, there are 100 VA rest homes caring for thousands of elderly vets. They didn't vote for him either. (1/X)
