These are words, you stupid Spelling Bee.

my total bill for this year is up 28%.

In hs in 88, I went w/a friend to a kid’s house. Turns out his mom was Linda Chavez, Bush’s nom for cabinet. By chance, I was wearing my Jesse Jackson for president tee. “You know who my mom is?” he asked. “Yeah,” I said

Oh, Jeff Epstein the financier!

I won’t read the article, but when does he believe the Right began responding to the Left’s reaction to slavery? Reconstruction? I doubt he does, but really as my dad showed in his book Lies Across America , DAR started glorifying the Rebels right away.

Awww, shit, Duke Ellington representing.

Was this an empty threat or what?

Goldie Hawn or Ben Stein.

No. End that returned Slavery patrol. It has no place in a democracy.

Federal building with huge banners, one of Trump and one of Teddy Roosevelt.

Downtown DC a few weeks ago:

Is that his actual head?!?!?!

I've been thinking recently about how Pretti and Good could easily fit into the list with Schwerner, Chaney, and Goodman. Feds think we'll be distracted away from the recently killings in a month, but here we are decades later, and those 3 in Mississippi are still relevant and remembered.

You just simpin’ for that Bay area cinema (jk, this looks hilarious).

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

Folks famed for education ethos bemoan openings of schools.

Honestly, it's only wild because R politicians have not held principles beyond lust for power for so long. Now, finally, we see a principled Republican politician. Are there any others?

Just look at the case of Philando Castile.

These fools were so excited for a Civil War where they, the hard ones, would quash the soft libs, but now they are ravaged by whistles.

JAKE STOP THAT DOG ON DOG VIOLENCE!

His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.

jaderemedy • 4h ago And now comes the most nauseating part of this whole goddamn mess: the hypocrisy. The same loud-mouthed idiots who spent years screaming about tyranny are suddenly dead fucking silent, or worse, cheering, now that it's their side doing it. "ThEy'Re cOminG fOr OuR gUnS!" "GoVerNMenT oVerReAch!" "ShAll nOt bE inFrinGeD!" All that chest-thumping bullshit evaporated the second armed federal agents started terrorizing people they don't like. Let me get this straight: a civilian gets shot dead by federal agents, and the only thing you brainless cunts can muster is "well, DHS says he had a gun"? THAT'S your red line? Guns are sacred when they're strapped to your waist, but magically become a death sentence when they're used as a post-hoc excuse by the government? Either the Second Amendment applies to everyone, or you never believed in it at all. Fucking pick one and own it. This is exactly what tyranny looks like, by the way. Not jackboots marching in formation, but armed agents roaming neighborhoods, stopping people, killing civilians, and then daring the public to question it. Tyranny is execution followed by a press release. Tyranny is labeling the dead a "threat" so the state doesn't have to explain why someone's life just ended in the street. Tyranny is demanding obedience while shredding due process and calling it order. And all you so-called "freedom lovers" are fucking fine with it, as long as it's brown people, immigrants, protesters, or anyone you've already dehumanized. Turns out "don't tread on me" actually meant "tread on them." You weren't afraid of tyranny. You were afraid of losing dominance. There's a difference, and this moment exposes it completely. "Just comply" isn't a principle. It's cowardice dressed up as common sense. It's the language of people who have already accepted that the state gets to decide who deserves rights and who doesn't. And once you make that deal, don't act shocked when the line moves, because it always fuckin…

I believe there is a new edition coming out spearheaded by a Jackson State professor.

I appreciated the Chinese grocery, since that was my dad’s doctoral thesis, The Mississippi Chinese.

For today, "Loose and easy language about equality, resonant resolutions about brotherhood fall pleasantly on the ear, but ... each modest advance ... promptly raises the argument that the Negro has come far enough. Each step forward accents an ever-present tendency to backlash.” MLK, 1967

Just a few weeks ago, I crashed my bike in the middle of Piney Branch coming out of Rock Creek Park--I was fine, just embarrassed--and a driver stopped in the middle of traffic to check on me. I really appreciated him for it, even though I needed no aid at all.
