You want to compare brainpans? I won the Westinghouse prize when I was 12. Published at 19, double doctorate from MIT at 22. Why do I do this? Because the money's good, the scenery changes and they let me use explosives, ok? NO DMs. πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™

Choire Sicha from CNN writing out "It's OPEN SEASON on Taylor Swift" is so misogyny coded. 

It's fine to hate the album, dislike her personality, style, billionaire status, friends, all that and more, but when femicide

Especially when gun violence against women are on the rise, up 36% since 2014.

That word choice was definitely a choice.

At this point, it could be a janky dude in a dirt clown suit, smelling like cigarettes and booze, and I'll go. And bring snacks. What could go wrong?

Martial arts are a great exercise, that way you can kick his ass out and there would be nothing he could do about it.

He and his mother don't see you as a person, you're just there to make him look like a winner.

Huh. As I was saying...

"Body-camera video of a Border Patrol agent involved in the shooting of a woman who was allegedly chasing agents in Brighton Park over the weekend shows an officer saying, β€œDo something, b----,” before pulling over and shooting the woman five times."

This is exactly what the right wantsβ€” our silence.

They want us afraid and to stop speaking up, to check out, to shut up about politics. We can’t give them that. Not now. Not ever.

Lots of thoughts and prayers to all the casualties, orphans, and people left homeless in war ravaged Portland as you dig yourselves out of the rubble and wreckage of what remains of your once beautiful city. You will never be forgotten.

Serious response:
Do they appear to be following any other Congressional rules or US laws?
They’re not interested in governing, they’re quite literally here to destroy the United States as we’ve known it for the last 250 years.
This is more than a constitutional crisis, it’s sedition.

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

Sorry, Alt Text folks... It's a replica of a Chinese propane poster with a cat in uniform in the background, two men holding up cards with Chinese writing and the text reads: your meme has been seized for redistribution, comrade. The poster is signed Chairman Meow.

Portland is a β€œwar-ravaged” city that is β€œon fire,” President Trump warns. But I braved the artillery fire and militia checkpoints to bring you this video report from the front lines.

Whoops! My bad. I didn't see where it said per week.

$75k would easily cover a $2000 a month apartment in a large metropolitan area.

As Gov. Pritzker says in his opening statement, ICE and CPB are attempting to provoke a reaction by their actions in Chicago. And as he says -- more or less -- at the time stamp below, he won't order state police to physically confront them, b/c he can't.
