I represent folks on Texas's death row. Proud Dem/resister. Mother of trans child and other persons endangered by incoming regime. Superpowers include: bourbon mixology, imposing structure on writing, starting knitting projects, and making pies

Although international airports are ports of entry and have relaxed Fourth Amendment requirements. Man, lawyers are a fun group. :)

Agreed. Radically honest and very touching. I loved them all more after watching.

It just feels like everything is being flattened. Rape, genocide, wildfires, etc etc is all just fodder for internet discourse rather than turning points that lead to… something, anything better or different.

I remember, after ACA was passed, sitting in doctors' waiting rooms listening to people using their medical insurance for the first time and hearing how grateful they were. No interest in going back.

Now you go to your merchant. I had this happen with fed ex. The merchant guarantees delivery. Once you’ve exhausted recourse, the merchant will refund or re-send

Why do people buy pizza with EBT?

Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money.

It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

Apparently Sallie Mae "aren't here to help" federal employees with deferment or forbearance if they've requested it before? Do they think "not getting a paycheck" because of a shutdown is some sort of moral nick?

Even Grok gets it. Federal workers aren’t living large, they’re just surviving. Like most Americans they’re one missed paycheck away from the edge.

When rent, food, and gas eat your whole check, there’s nothing left to save.

PS- this dude’s a jerk.

a photograph of the interior of a church. Several people are visible sitting in pews. In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

Man, I wish he'd posted the video BEFORE the rallies--we all could have worn rain coats or carried umbrellas. Oh well--next time.

Texas death row inmate's plight shows why we should abolish the death penalty It would be better to abolish the death penalty altogether and stop gambling with lives.

If "states' rights" mean anything, they must include the right to not get invaded by another state in peacetime.

What Liberals Get Wrong About Trump's Executive Order on Antifa Liberals dismiss antifa as just an idea. That opens up the activists, researchers, and organizers to a real risk of persecution.

While nothing is certain, we must be able to imagine Robinson had moved away his parents' politics, had fallen in love, and was outraged by hatred toward his partner. And still, we must oppose the narrative that these facts prove that trans-ness or leftist thinking are the problem in this country.

Whether Mon told you about the Bothans who died for information or you saw one of her many passionate Senate pleas, she taught the world:

A generation raised on sci-fi/fantasy rebellion was the wrong generation to fuck with under a fascist government:

Interviewer: Can you say how law enforcement officers confused "anti-gay writings" with writings that expressed "trans ideology?

Nah, just kidding. No one's gonna ask.

I abhor violence, and I am sorry when any family suffers from it. Neither my decency as a human being nor my association with the democratic party require me to say more.

No solidarity. Reporters let Trump talk this way to a woman reporter and then clamor to get their own question answered. He used to do it to April Ryan, Yamiche Alcindor and Abby Phillip.

And that’s why he controls media. No solidarity.
