How I wish "conservatives" believed in small government

Years later I knew two young women who fought sexual violence here in Chapel Hill. I was shocked that they either hadn't read Brownmiller or didn't realize how transformative she was (I forget which). I hope they read your biography.

Brownmiller's book was one of the most important that I ever read. I learned that rape was political. As I read each chapter, I wasn't very convinced. Then she analyzed comic books, which were much more explicit about the uses of violence, and I got it.

If I remember correctly, Timothy Snyder told a similar story. Crimea is not Russian.

Agreed. It makes no sense. I believe our precincts use SD cards to take votes to the county BOE office. There's a Rep and a Dem observer in the car.

I finally got rid of my Ferrarro t-shirt last year. I thought it was a cool momento because of the misspelling.

#politics Sent to Senator Schumer: I appreciate your worries about the consequences of gov't shutdown and worry about them myself. You should vote against their bill and announce that you've decided that the Republicans are right: government is the problem so we're helping to solve the problem.

#UkrainianView
*sigh* If only.
Would be interesting to hear Trump commenting on that and explaining how that is different from him now trying to extort Ukraine in our own independence war.

Everyone survived the airplane crash in Toronto because of government-mandated:
- safety features of the airplane
- safety training of the crew
- safety systems at the airport
Time for fElon Musk to fire all those regulators.

That's a good list although I don't know how you would define massive or mega.

#politics #irs #taxes If Musk's teenagers are getting access to IRS records, can they please tell us what @realDonaldTrump is "earning"?

We need a repository of videos of Trump's campaign promises. We can repost them as needed.
