Don’t mind me just tracing the gyres. Talk about politics a lot but mostly want to talk about Stevie Wonder and August Wilson. She stay in the hills, he stay in Atlanta, I pay for them both.

I’m saying what is happening now will inevitably lead to cycles of revenge that will upend every norm in American political life and it’s hard to see where new grounds for new norms will come from.

When we send folks to be tortured in another country, we are never going back to normal. The US is breaking its own laws.
If we get anything back, it will be because we fought for it.
That's why we need to prosecute these firms for bribery in 2029.
Entity level charges, and disbar all their partners, too.
Something really sick is happening on Twitter and there’s no indication that the ownership or any of the elite or institutional users care

The journalists shouldn’t be trusted moving forward until they demonstrate higher standards. This reporting may have influenced Brown and Cornell’s agreements.
