Everything they do to Black people they will do to you too. Just remember that as a rule and there will be less confusion about why overturning affirmative action hurts Asians and voter ID laws hurt white women

Missouri Governor Mike Parson can be reached by phone at (573) 751-3222 or by the linked contact form.

Your message can be simple: "There is no reliable evidence proving that Marcellus Williams committed the crime for which he is scheduled to be executed. Do not allow this injustice to proceed."

For the Third Time, Marcellus Williams Faces Execution It’s up to Gov. Mike Parson to grant clemency and commute Mr. Williams’ sentence to life without parole.

A lot going on right now. Just a reminder that in five days, Missouri plans to execute an innocent man.

In some sense, the Democrats share the blame for the conundrum. Mr. McDonnell, a firefighter by trade and a union leader, had once been a firm blue-collar Democrat, but his Catholic faith and social conservatism led him to support Republican bills that restricted most abortions as well as transition-related care for transgender minors.

The Nebraska Democratic Party punished him in March with a censure. Then in April, he switched parties and changed the balance of power in Lincoln, where Democrats had been able to use the Legislature’s filibuster rule effectively.

Guess which media institution published these two paragraphs. Go on, guess.

After I wrote about Springfield and mentioned being the child of an immigrant, a reader emailed to demand to know if I was "in the country legally" which is pretty rich given that I was born in the United States.

tweet from an actual goblin @gobloid3

if israel can plant explosives in consumer electronics and justify it by saying they were only targeting "terrorists" then it would be a good idea to remember that israel said that student protestors in america are terrorists

The threat to deport undocumented immigrants is a threat to deport documented immigrants is a threat to deport the descendants of immigrants is a threat to deport anyone who they think looks like an immigrant is a threat to deport anyone who disagrees with them

Someone is mad at me for saying if Israel can literally develop booby trap pagers and deploy them at will in civilian locations in Lebanon with no international consequences than there is nothing preventing them from doing it to you- but it’s true- it’s also true your own government will do it

We cannot deport 20 M people. No country would just accept them.

They will be put in camps, and then it will be too expensive to feed them, so it's really just merciful to kill them rather than let them starve.

They aren't deporting anyone.

Today my niece, who was born here in the US, asked if we could be deported even though her Haitian American parents were also born here. That’s how things are going with this open season on immigration. If this kid is worried we can imagine how others from all immigrant populations are feeling.

They are not hateful because they are deficient.

They are hateful because they are privileged. Because they think they have the right to treat reactionary instincts as absolute facts and laws that all must abide by.

Some years ago I met a strange woman in the woods and she asked for my attention.

I should see if I can find her again. I'd like it back.

a photo of Rick astley, music icon

The caption is: "when the NYPD says don't riot, But they just shot 3 people over less than 3 dollars"

And Rick says "you know the rules and so do i"

The music context is his song "never gonna give you up".
