I really need to figure out the right way to get this poem tattooed on me because it has gotten me out of the hole that is not my grave entirely too many times and I think everyone needs to read it this week billmoyers.com/story/poetry...

When I was growing up, I wasn’t aware of more than one sexuality or more than two genders. I’m not nostalgic for that naïveté, but apparently, many people are. The world ALWAYS changes! No law, EO, or court ruling can bring back life as you understood it at age 8. Why would you want it to?

If you listen to the actual audio, it's very clear that she didn't misspeak. She was told she was wrong, but she refused to listen and continued to double and triple down. The least she can do is apologize and endorse the Democratic nominee even though he's Muslim. Whether she will is unclear.

its always been intriguing (the way dumb things are intriguing) how racists like trump and tuberville just cant conceive of the notion of black people living in the suburbs, even though millions of us do (and in very rural areas too).

I have a new job I enjoy, and my kids are doing well, and I’m happier now than I’ve ever been, but also, my country is turning into a terrifying fascist hellhole and I wonder if we should get out. #CognitiveDissonance

pssst...you don't have to worry about the birth rate if you welcome immigrants and their families to this country. Pronatalism is a tool of white supremacy.

I urge you all to read this. Click the PDF tab. It’s so much about the urgency of now, and it’s the kind of moral voice that we need desperately today. But it’s also a crucial reminder that you, too, have unique skills and gifts to meet this moment. What are they?

Remember when Trump had a full-blown meltdown because as part of the nuclear agreement the Obama administration gave Iran back their money that had been frozen? He never shut up about it. Get a load of this:

Stefanik has 8 or 9 rural hospitals and 1 rural emergency hospital in her district; Tenney has 5. Many will close. How can they face their constituents? Oh, wait. They don't. I held a town hall last night in Tenney's district and someone complained that she never shows up.

Robert F Kennedy Jr is not a vaccine skeptic. Reporters and editors who’ve decided it’s somehow more fair to call him one instead of the anti-vaccine activist and lawyer he is should stop mischaracterizing him so… in the pursuit of accuracy.

A few months ago, I would have said that this is ridiculous grandstanding, that no can be stripped of their American citizenship. Now, I know that power will do whatever it thinks it can get away with.

You know what would encourage people to get more physical activity? No, it is not wearable fitness trackers. It is: 1. A liveable wage so people have time for it 2. Safe parks and other infrastructure for such activity But that’s too hard.
