More of our Democratic leaders should stand up loud and proud against the creepy obsessions of these people.
They’re weird!
Grammarly's presentation of something they call Expert Review, including my name (plus Stephen King's, plus Mary Norris's), though to be sure I've never been contacted by Grammarly, much less compensated.
What in the absolute fuck is this.

After four days of hesitating, the president of France has joined the prime minister of Spain in saying that the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 attack on Iran is a violation of international law.
But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?

Minnesota is mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake who was killed in Kuwait on Sunday.
She answered the call to serve and gave her life in service to our state and nation. Minnesotans are wrapping our arms around her loved ones.
EXCELLENT. Thank you.

Americans watched as federal agents killed two Minnesotans.
Now their families have to watch Kristi Noem continue to lie about it.

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president be waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

The day the *majority* of Charlottesvillians of the time escaped slavery. There are many among us who regard it as a tragedy, and want to have huge public memorials honoring those who tried to prevent it. But we cherish this event.
Do something joyous to celebrate!
Warner: "There was no imminent threat to the United States by the Iranians. There was a threat to Israel. If we equate a threat to Israel as the equivalent of an imminent threat to the US, then we are in uncharted territory."
