There's no "credit where credit's due" for a guy who would love to cut off your grandmother's social security so he could blow up another rocket. Fuck that guy

I continue to disagree with this. The goal of mass detention is mass deportations. A private prison company leasing 100 beds to ICE gets paid the same if the beds are filled by 100 people for a year each or 1,000 people for a few days each. They don't earn more with long-term detention.

So what do we do now? What’s our strategy? Over the past four years, a lot of people have asked me, β€œWhen others are going so low, does going high still really work?” My answer: going high is the only thing that works, because when we go low, when we use those same tactics of degrading and dehumanizing others, we just become part of the ugly noise that’s drowning out everything else. We degrade ourselves. We degrade the very causes for which we fight.

But let’s be clear: going high does not mean putting on a smile and saying nice things when confronted by viciousness and cruelty. Going high means taking the harder path. It means scraping and clawing our way to that mountain top. Going high means standing fierce against hatred while remembering that we are one nation under God, and if we want to survive, we’ve got to find a way to live together and work together across our differences.

And going high means unlocking the shackles of lies and mistrust with the only thing that can truly set us free: the cold hard truth.

I feel like no one actually remembers the context of that statement, because everyone seems to think she meant that we have to be nice to our opponents. And that's not what she said.

This is the missing context that was a part of that speech:

And without a GOP willing to let people starve to get what they want instead of reasonable negotiation, there would be no shutdown. Back to my original point.

I hate that this is happening and it's certainly easier for me to say because I'm not giving up meals, but when more and more ground is given up, eventually SNAP itself will be the program the GOP moves to shut down instead of it being the pawn it is here and there will be no ground to fall back to.

Maybe my understanding is wrong here, but the SNAP cut off was not a product of Democrats trying to fight, but a tactic used by an administration and party willing to let people starve to get what they want. A tactic the courts are now saying is illegal and the electorate seems to reject.

So coincidentally the eight senators who broke ranks just happened to be not facing reelection next year? They're as good at lying as they are negotiating.

Would love to see how much commerce your buy Canadian policy will shift away from the US. If we in the states had an opposition party, they would consider this information useful.

Democratic leadership IS rubber stamping the assault. Maybe if the Dem constituency was as gullible as those on the other side, you could get away with it, but there is no doubt a coordinated effort in the Senate was put forth to give up the fight. Stop pretending otherwise.

The answer Sen, Shaheen is that since America elected the Black man to be president, the official position of the Republican Party is β€œnot to work together with Democrats to address the problems that are facing this country.”

Tech Billionaire Marc Andreessen Bet Big on Trump. It’s Paying Off for Silicon Valley. The Trump administration’s gutting of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been good for venture capitalists like Andreessen, who previously accused the agency of β€œterrorizing” fintech startup...

Three CFPB probes into companies backed by billionaire Marc Andreessen have been halted as bureau investigations have ground to a halt, including inquiries into the popular cash advance app EarnIn and Point Digital Finance, a provider of so-called alternative mortgages.

Probably for the best, since we won't be able to afford anything to serve anyway. At least we can all starve without the indignity of having to face others.

Can't wait for the book about this! Of course I will have to make the decision whether to buy the book or food for my kids, but we all know what I'll pick. Who could deny such compelling storytelling years after it would have been helpful for the wider public to know.

All due respect deepest apologies if this is too harsh even for the Internet but maybe instead of a flight you would consider a long walk off a short pier.
