BREAKING (DECISION DESK HQ): Virginia Lieutenant Gubernatorial Race Called for Democrat Ghazala Hashmi

Decision Desk has called both of Georgia's statewide races, for public service commissioner, for Democrats.

If confirmed, this would be a really huge win for Democrats:

It'd be their first statewide win in any non-federal race since 2006!

It is all so painfully obvious. If the GOP was sooooo convinced that their message resonates with most of the voters, they would encourage to have as many people vote as possible.
They are doing everything they can to make voting difficult. Therefore.........

If you think your kids aren't old enough to hear about what's happening in this country, remember that there are millions of kids their same age who don't have that choice.

ICE Barbie Says Immigrants Are Too Dumb to Drive Semitrucks Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem made the inane claim while bragging about arresting immigrant truck drivers.

Yet in 2010, Noemโ€”then a congressional candidateโ€”had โ€œ20 speeding tickets, three stop-sign violations, two seat-belt violations and a citation for driving with no driverโ€™s license.โ€ She had six court notices for failing to appear, and had two warrants out for her arrest. trib.al/uQSDaqR

Such racist bullshit. They can't even be bothered to find 1 instance of someone getting non food items with SNAP to back it up because they know it's a lie. It doesn't even cover all food items! Or otc meds or hygiene stuff ๐Ÿ™„ Anything that helps people other than themselves is "ugly" to them.

Photo of a person lying in bed with 4 snoozing cats - 1 lying on top of the person's legs and 3 pressed alongside the legs. And definitely not a pile of freshly washed and folded laundry just sitting on the end of the bed.

Just spitballing here, but maybe neither Christians nor Muslims should get taxpayer dollars to push religion โ€” and instead we invest in strong, secular public schools where kids of every faith (and none) can actually learn together.

It's crazy because even if the hospital is 'in-network' doesn't automatically mean the ambulance company, or the anesthetist, or the orthopedist, or the attending Dr, or the radiologist is, etc. You get separate bills for each of them. And in an ER sitch it's not like you can preorder who you'll get

"The Black Vampyre; Legend of St. Domingo" by Uriah Derick D'Arcy written in 1819. 

The story of an enslaved man in St Domingo (modern day Haiti) who was thrown overboard as his enslaver attempted to kill him. 

He not only survives, he lives forever, and marries one of his enslaver's descendants. 

Reminds me of "Sinners" in a way

Wanna hear a scary story?

The first American vampire was Black.

Seriously.

78 years before Dracula appeared in American literature, there was "The Black Vampyre" by Uriah D'Arcy.

It was written in 1819 as an antislavery critique and the effect the Haitian Revolution had on the States
