Precisely. When we shut up and organise, things get moving.

a bottom-to-top (school board to SCOTUS strategy and funding collaboration. They put aside their mutual contempt to get (presumably) common goals established. We are living with the results. The Left will always eat itself: start focusing and stop bitching.

You’d be surprised at how effective getting involved in legislative politics can be. For years, an ideologically diverse group of “conservatives”—old school CT-types, Texas oil types, whacko John Birch types, elite Buckley types, etc. And the religious and racists nuts—jointly developed/1

I think she’s on her meds?

Still not resubscribing. Not until actual journalism is in evidence.

So should Russian bots.

And I wrote that minutes before I learned that in the UK Jews were being murdered simply for being Jews. Reflect on *that*. That is where comments like yours lead.

Funny how people who say they don’t believe in collective guilt actually believe in collective guilt.

I think it’s for making his Phi Beta Kappa key as obvious as possible. Ugh.

Was going to say…

Mexeecan?

By contrast, in Scotland all children are given the vaccine at school in S1 (8th grade in the US), and it’s the child’s consent that is sought. I suppose parents could intervene if they had objections, but I have never heard of that happening.

PS: pretty sure I was meant to be a museum curator/interpretive designer.

As you know, I did and I am without regrets. My son has chosen the path—he’s at SUNY Albany, teaching film—and at least he was well aware what he was getting into. Times were so different when we were early career. We’re just disillusioned; he had few to begin with.

Amen, sister!

I do not know, but I now own an orchard and I’m going to try to find a graft of this variety.

How nice for you.

Love being a citizen of a country whose government considers protecting people a priority.

Yes, those messed up things like the right to control your body, to be secure in your own home, and to speak your mind. The bad old days.

Having just been to the WWII museum in Gdansk, I can say the parallel between this and the edicts issued by the Nazis is pretty perfect.

The antisemitic appeal to voters in Michigan to vote for Trump. I think that’s what she’s the fuck talking about.

Chances that lady is “pro-life”?

Legality aside, how pathetic for the American head of state to fly around in the plane he got as a valentine from the Emir of Qatar. A kept little man.

In the last few days, the president fell asleep at the pope’s funeral, said he wasn’t making decisions in the White House and fell for an obvious photoshop.

Cool. Cool cool cool.

Why are you worried about how someone unknown to you feeds their child? Sounds like a fetish to me.
