When someone says they’re “not political”…

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Afghan women lose their 'last hope' as Taliban shut down internet For many women, the internet was their last resource. An internet shutdown threatens to end this.

If you're not talking about this, what are you doing? It includes targeting Americans that are anti-American, anti-Christian, and anti-captalist, among other generalizations as terrorists.

I've applied to over 600 jobs. Had over a dozen interviews. They don't pay enough. Half of them don't even have benefits. What is happening? Americans want to work but we don't want to work for peanuts!

condemnations of political violence are well taken but it does feel as if some
prominent political commentators are of the view that violence isn’t a part of the history of American politics and that is very much not true.

They are purveyors and practitioners of violence. Their response to Kirk will be more violence. They’re civilly incompetent
