So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

Photo of book The Prophet by Khalil Gibran

Just finished reading Khalil Gibran's The Prophet. I read that it's been translated into 50 languages, in print since it was published in 1923, and sold millions of copies. This book was a pleasant read with some interesting passages. I'm curious to read something else by him now.

Thank you for sharing. And thank you for continuing to hold the line for our democracy! Your podcast with Sarah Longwell has helped me deal with this shit. So, 30 years ago, would you ever have imagined you would one day make a post encouraging people to protest?

Nearly 1,000 people attend Lexington rally to protest Trump cuts. Rep. Barr is a no-show Rep. Andy Barr’s office said they did not coordinate the town hall and hinted that it was staged by paid liberal activists. Those who attended said they are not paid activists.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense.

I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense

I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

Dem Governor DESTROYS Trump from…KENTUCKY?!!
YouTube video by MeidasTouch Dem Governor DESTROYS Trump from…KENTUCKY?!!

We just had one of the most eye-opening conversations with none other than Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear. Every single one of you should hear this because what we talked about goes far beyond Kentucky. It’s about what’s at stake for every working family in this country.

Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is worth around $500 million and lives in a real life $22 million replica of Barbie’s Dream House and he is now forcing America into a Great Recession because this is all a game to him and people’s suffering has no impact on him.
