And here you are and it’s a beautiful day

If an attractive young woman a third my age didn't want to date me, then why did she ask me for feedback on an economics paper?

James Comey is not going to jail, folks.
On the other hand, yet another lawyer who has hitched her star to Donald Trump, may well be on the way to being disbarred.

Everyone's missing potentially the most interesting thing about this order, which is the judge's finding that Halligan may have returned an indictment that was never presented to the jury

The lesson is that you didn't pay attention in medical school when they tried to teach you about confirmation and sampling bias.

Watch. Listen. Repost ad infinitum.

Chicago baby

This is terrifying

bush v gore is the hinge upon which basically everything awful from the last quarter century swings on

Immigration raids at churches. Is this really who we are as a country? Does this really make us any safer or stronger?

All I’m going to say is, they don’t care if he’s had sex with children, but if they find out he’s had sex with another man, they will implode…

They have a fcked up sense of morality.

New York City billboards are displaying the president’s 91 felony charges.

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet.

It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition.

This practice was endorsed by a Supreme Court Justice.

Ego overload becomes ego overboard

The legal profession needs to realize it failed and has to get better.

Coup plotters, Constitution-ignorers, rationalizers, enablers, the Supreme Court's calvinball rulings — all yours.

Your culture said move slowly, give benefit of the doubt, even treat it like a game. Far from all, but enough.

Apologies to Adam West...

Ahem

I live in Chicago, here are some tips for dealing with the Black and Tans: Keep whistles on you to alert the neighborhood of ICE activities. Distribute whistles if you can. Post signage where people are taken, "ICE kidnapped someone here" is a powerful message. Stand firm in crosswalks or use your vehicle to obstruct ICE movement. Invite friends and family from rural areas to enjoy your cities, show them the only violence there is caused by the federal government. Post signage to alert your neighbor of the ICE activity. Record everything they do. Ask for warrants. They won't have one, but making them admit it is important. If they are on your private property, firmly tell them to leave. Sell them nothing and don't let them use restrooms. Protests. Protest. Protest. Every delay is a life saved. Remember, people aren't being deported, they are going missing.

i want to put this in front of conservative pundits who defended this raid bsky.app/profile/raws...

NYT’s whistfully longing for ye olde clubby New York, when a gentlemen could beat his servant or assault a chambermaid without some pesky copper or scribe mucking about, or the modern iteration, when a Koch Bro or a Sackler could kill for cash & still get their names on a museum.

So the occupant of our White House is cool with pedophilia and we’re just going to carry on like everything is normal?

He believes in vaccines for himself. Everyone else is SOL

The Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo are strong evidence that politics play a significant role in the adoption arena.

I can reassure the New York Times that networks of mutual protection, and misogynist retaliation efforts that benefit abusive men at the expense of the young women they prey upon, are very much still intact post-Me Too.

America is in the hands of some really evil pieces of shit

Burgess Meredith, born today in 1907

Of “Time Enough at Last”, he said: “I don’t think I’ve ever done any other project that people talk to me more about than that show. .. It’s gotten to the point where when they first approach me, I almost know what they’re going to say.”
