What a terrible decision.

Not necessary for a shot like this. But you may wish to black out your teeth with a crayon and fall into the tripod to create the proper ambience.

I would like to donate. But I want to know what percentage of my donation will go directly to the program and how much goes to the administration of the program. Thanks.

Wait, is that Edgar Allen Poe talking to Mark Twain?

Do you refer to the Greek guy in the picture? A Greek Orthodox Bishop walked with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Selma. Bishop Chrysostomos refused to give up the Jews of Zakynthos to the Nazi's. Did this GO Priest not get the memo?

Who is the Greek Orthodox guy in the photo?

Supreme Court justices respond to my letters begging them to save democracy before it is too late.

It's worse because it happens in secret.
That's why I love hard copies of everything. Take more screen shots.

They only like narratives that let them remain married to their grip on the victimhood card. They stomped and gouged the Capitol Police and erected a gallows. But they were the victims.

What about the jan 6 rioters? They brutalized our Capitol police resulting in deaths. Trump pardoned them all. Aren't those homegrown criminals?

What about people who riot and assault the police with metal poles and blinding sprays, and leave some of them mangled and broken and unable to even stand? Should those guys be put in prison? Or should they all be pardoned and freed from jail and hailed as patriots?

I was thinking the same thing. Thank you for this. It's perfect.

Revoking visas held by South Sudanese passport holders hurts families, students, athletes, and workers across NC during a time when their home country faces a potential civil war.

I sent a letter with @ross.house.gov urging Secretary Rubio to reverse this unconscionable policy.

This is excellent! Thank you for doing this. I support you.

And manipulating the gold market, too. What were they even doing at Fort Knox?

But is there any follow up? How can we help this woman and her family? This is horrifying. I can not even imagine their agony.

Good post. That's the thing about Democracy. Everybody gets it or no one has it. If we decide that some guy from Venezuela doesn't get democracy then no one is safe.

Oh, thank God. Please keep doing good things. If people don't stand up and say no RIGHT NOW, I can't imagine where we will be one year from now. And our complicit supreme court are the worst of all.

Tangible, direct action from Sen. Schatz. We love to see it.

We wouldn’t be here if SCOTUS had allowed the January 6th trial to go forward as scheduled.

Doge (pronouns: aholes/douchebags) is the clumsiest, most inept, corrosive attempt at a 'shock and awe' type performance that I've ever seen. The screenplay versions write themselves--Where are Stanley Kubrick and Peter Sellers when we really need them?
