The only reason I still use Word is that it is the standard. It's a horrible piece of software that seems to get steadily worse with every "update." Give me Google Docs any day.

But what are the mediums supposed to get high on? Most red states don't have legal cannabis.

Here we go. You authorize some kinds of lawlessness on the part of govt and you've opened Pandora's box.

60 years ago, after generations organized, marched & bled, the Voting Rights Act was signed into law.

Now, Republicans in Texas & nationwide are carrying out an undemocratic assault on the sacred right to vote.

We must keep working to protect & expand access to the ballot box.

A Baller hitting a baseball. That one wound up a foul. Not a great view, through the fence and the net. The seat was actually better than it photographs.

I deeply appreciate the righteous indignation of @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com ESPECIALLY about the White House press corps.

I would have agreed with you a year ago. But yes, that's why I asked for the link.

The Voting Rights Act, one of the most important pieces of legislation of the 20th c, dismantled by cynics who want to win and do not care at what cost.

Thanks, Lux. Argh, you'd think things are bad enough without the overblow.

Provide a link, not a screenshot, please. I cannot spread this unless I see it with my own eyes. If true, it's an emergency.

Agreed, and the GOP has capitalized on the racism and stoked it for as long as I can remember. (I'm 70.)

It is so ironic, given the age and mental status of the man at the top of the "Great New American Way."

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

There are similar times and memories with my (now middle aged) sons that I treasure. They were an opportunity to take a breath together in the midst of the bustle of them growing up. I found out much later that they treasured those moments too.

Yid'n who love Israel:

Speaking out about Gaza will not make you suddenly stop loving Israel.

Yid'n who don't love Israel:

Naming that Israelis are also worthy of safety and care will not make you suddenly stop caring about Palestine.

I can't believe we're still having this talk.
