There is a strong culture of giving things away in my building, but even it has limits

We need to come together and support efforts like this. Donโ€™t wrong-rock every progressive leader the way people have been trying to do to Pritzker.

When I was a public defender full-time from 2005 and 2008 as opposed to a part-time contractor like I have been since then, I worked in a county office with a wonderful lawyer, now sadly departed, who folks called Spider-Man as his office was just crawling with them at all times and in every corner.

Itโ€™s about the quality of visible public leadership. Lander, in his opposition to what ICE/CBP is trying to do to New York City, has shown that he is willing and quite able to lead people. Goldman is known for no bold moves of any kind whatsoever.

When people unironically repost the billionaire Onion I unfollow them. Itโ€™s a sign of low smarts and not keeping up with the times. Itโ€™s as bad as reposting Klippenstein.

"Working Class" of course here being defined neither by wealth nor employer/employee hierarchy status, but whether you job seems old-fashioned. So a millionaire construction firm owner who occasionally works on site is "Working Class", but his indebted secretary isn't.

Weโ€™re going to get our politics back to being run by normal people for normal people, and that means taking the woo influence out.

"Having sex" (read: "getting laid," "gettin' dat poosay") is the easiest thing in the world. I could make a dating app profile and lose my virginity by dinnertime. But very few people alive have ever actually had *sex.* They've performed a social ritual, sort of like hazing.

creation of another life inside of the woman; perish the idea. There is no yearning, no primal and beastly need even, other than a poor simulacra, the simple desire to fulfill a base bodily instinct. Itโ€™s like eatingโ€”: and not to craft a meal, not to provide oneself art, not to turn passion itself into a physical, sensible monument, to provide unto oneself an appreciable reception of oneโ€™s own soul, but to microwave a frozen sandwich, or gulp down a cup of instant ramen, merely to stop oneโ€™s stomach from growling. We live in a world of walking stomachs; hylics, all. And most of it is nothing but glorified prostitution, anyways; even within most marriages which occur today. Piersโ€™ Wife says that she wears the trousers in the family, so perhaps the dynamic is simply turned the other way, and Piers is like a sort of gigolo. Maybe heโ€™s even too stupid to realise that thatโ€™s all he is. But all that he has ever provided to the world is nothing more than the vulgar commentary of one.

Student-led ICE protests erupt across Washington County amid enforcement crackdowns Students say they feel safe at school but are fearful of what might happen to themselves and their family when school lets out.

I think that raiding schools and abducting classmates is extremely likely to radicalize kids against law enforcement to a degree that will have generational impacts
