Kat Abughazaleh isn’t running to “wait her turn.”
She’s running to fight.

No corporate PACs.
No watered down talking points.
No fear of right wing outrage.

Just spine!

Frank Wilhoit in a now-famous 2018 comment on a political science blog—neatly captures this truth. “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition—there must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

I will have to look for a few other sources to make sure this sht was really from him. It sucks so much that it most likely is his thhoughts (or a another person close to him).

As Chet said at the end our interview, “If I can’t just disappear at the end of a night, what good is it?” -Patrick Burnson

I may have been only a struggling young actor in 1987, but there was so much joy in hopping on my bike at 11pm and riding as fast as I could home to my West Town coach house.

I am memorizing this face, so if I ever run into her I can start pointing and raising my voice to very uncomfortable levels pointing out her pedo protecting, asinine life.

That argument that "there was no racism in our town til Obama showed up" is an argument that racists say who have only been around other racists in some racist bubble somewhere, where the only TV is turned to Fox and the library is very very unused. So YES, this is a real thing to some people.
