without the 'shitty', would that be a positive statement?

the GOP goal is the overthrow of the government of the sovereign public (of, by and for) and its replacement with the dictatorship announced at the WEF

Pezzner Fuses Techno with Cabaret at Seattle's Can Can The seasoned techno producer and DJ known for electrifying international dance floors now creates burlesque circus spectacles, his innovative fusion of tubas and 808s rattling the walls of one of Seattle's most beloved theatrical institutions.

"If there's a tuba sound, that tuba gets the underlay of an 808 bass. So it's a tuba sound that rattles the room."

Pezzner's journey from international DJ to theatrical composer at Seattle's historic Can Can brings electronic innovation to burlesque circus:

A Running Count of How Many People ICE Has Killed and Injured - The American Prospect ICE is not required to report any use-of-force incidents against the public. So The American Prospect created our own running tally.

As ICE and CBP testify in Congress, we have updated our tracker of deaths at the hands of immigration enforcers. 25 have been killed with another 18 seriously injured, and there have also been 44 deaths in ICE/CBP custody.
Wondering if this will come up at the hearing.

Let me state the theme of my story: the central theme of the story is John XV 13: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” The story starts with a boy, a child, a spoiled son of the extreme right, one who is utterly incapable of conceiving this ideal. The story ends when he is perhaps only two or three years older, but fully matured, a lined and tempered adult wholly dedicated to that simple, selfless proposition.

The Nation’s Most Democratic State Might Elect a Trump-Friendly Governor - The American Prospect California’s nonpartisan primary pits eight Democrats against two Republicans; only the top two finishers advance. Do the math.

There's way too much nonchalance about the fact that California is hurtling toward electing a MAGA governor, even if 65% of its voters vote for a Democrat in the primary. Harold Meyerson reports on the top-two primary setting conditions for an election at odds with voter preference.
