When journalism was cool. And risked everything to challenge power.

It's a fair question though I think she needs to turn that question to some of her fellow judges.

Everything is bad, but books are good. Get a book. Read the book. Cherish the book. Finish the book. Tell your friends about the book, and leave a review of the book. Hold the book close. Listen to what it tells you. Do as it commands. Place it on the dread altar and let it guide your every choice.

how long after he has become totally demented or has actually died will these postings continue? is it Stephen Miller who is generally believed to be posting under T***p's name?

a cult can endure longer than the cult leader-- Christianity, for example. MAGA could "believe" in T***p indefinitely.

I emerge from the time machine and see my teenaged self.

β€œWow,” she says. β€œYou’re me...but, like, old.”

β€œYeah,” I tell her.

β€œAre you here to let me know it gets better?” she asks.

β€œWhat? God noβ€”it gets SO much worse. I just came for my last few gulpfuls of clean air.”

It is jaw droppingly naΓ―ve at this point to honestly believe that the authoritarian regime currently using masked, plainclothes agents to kidnap people into concentration camps and deport them into slavery, and who is currently occupying the capital, will allow you to vote them out of power.

TRUMP: [is unhinged, insane]
NEWSOM: [parodies unhinged insanity]
REPUBLICANS: Gavin Newsom is insanely unhinged!!1!
NEW YORK TIMES [probably] What do these three independent voters eating pizza at a Casey's outside Des Moines think about Gavin Newsom's unhinged insanity?

The horrors will horror.

Those who voted for this will never be allowed back into my life.

It was all an unforced error, perpetrated by racist goons.

My heart will remain broken for immigrants and pregnant people.

But history knows how this will play out.

This is Macarthur Park in Los Angeles. Republicans have turned the United States in a military police state. I could not even imagine what Fox and Republicans would be saying if Biden or Obama sent the US military to terrorize communities in Texas.

Right now in Canoga Park, CA, ICE GESTAPO/Secret Police are at bus stops detaining immigrants & people they suspect of being immigrants who may be US born or naturalized citizens. They have no warrants & are using brutal force!

This cannot stand!

Protest, call Congress & talk to everyone you know!

Dem IL Rep Casten: This is not about the merits of Iran's nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense
I'm not saying we have the votes to impeach. I'm saying that you DO NOT do this without Congressional approval and if Johnson doesn't grow a spine and learn to be a real boy tomorrow we have a BFing problem that puts our very Republic at risk.
