I also don't like "I vote with my wallet". I don't really care much about money, the economy will fluctuate... fall and recover. Money problems can be dealt with.

But, once rights start to erode, once they're stripped away, they're really hard to get back.

Protect rights, not your bank account.

We should be using camera drones on ICE.

They thought there was a war on Christmas before . . . See what happens when sales drop 50% over last year.

Look, people that could actually pass the fitness test that so many fat assed ICE agents couldn't.

I told my students we know when everyone will die, just check the expiration date on your birth certificate.

Cheese toasted on the comal: You get the comal really hot and put a handful of shredded cheese in the middle. It will melt into a puddle and once it's browned on the bottom you flip it like a pancake. Toast the other side and put it on a tortilla or just eat it like a cheese pancake.

Not only would it not affect how billionaires live:
It would not cost jobs
It would not cause inflation
Nor would it hurt the economy

He's done his duty, this is on us to fix.

I'm no expert and that's not a great photo, but those don't even look like real bullets. They look like costume props.

I explain it to people this way: When you vote your responsibility is to vote for the best possible outcome, not a perfect outcome.

The difference between Dems and the GOP is pretty much the difference between Spam and dog shit. I may not like Spam, but it beats dog shit every time.

When you give power to evil people you become complicit in their evil deeds.

When you use scallions from the store you can plant the root ends in pots and have more green onions in a couple of weeks. They can produce for years.

I like to think Stephen Colbert is helping GN behind the scenes.

If Newsom is coming up with all those tweets on his own the dude missed his calling.

Either way they're satirical gold.

I think it might have been the media. I remember that "Super Predator" bullshit that got a lot of coverage in the late 80s and 90s.

No basis in reality, but they pushed it all the same. You can guess what color the faces that popped up on screen were when they talked about it.

Pretty fucked up.

I'd follow you twice for that if I could.

Yes! Each book is better and better too.

There's supposed to be a TTRPG coming out next year that I can't wait for.

love this series. It's better than it has any business being.

If you try to describe what it's about & say it's brilliant people will look @ you funny.

Great satire that shines a light on human nature & our exploitive culture while encouraging us to be better. Be like Carl. They will not break us!

There's no guarantee he won't shuffle off this mortal coil before then. He's old and sicker than they let on.

Here's hoping nature will take its course and we won't have to find out.

Once the U.S. starts to feel the pinch from tariffs what do you bet we start catching people trying to smuggle in cheese hidden in bags of cocaine.

That, and most of us don't care who's implicated. Left or right prosecute every last one of them.

If Clinton is on the list, well that's just fine. He and Trump can share a cell.

young men end up in the military or law enforcement. Different sort of gang in a lot of cases.

They'll even make fun of other Latinos for having darker skin.

It's pretty fucked up.

It's not that surprising. Where I live there are two main rival gangs: Sureรฑos and Norteรฑos. The Sureรฑos are 2nd 3rd generation while the Norteรฑos are generally recent immigrants.

Even those who don't get into gangs are often indoctrinated to hate recent immigrants.

A surprising number of these

And even a light caliber bullet would have taken half his ear off.
