Please understand me when I say that you cannot talk yourself out of criminal charges. You can, however, talk yourself into them. "I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present" is the ONLY thing you should EVER say to a police officer, EVER.

SSA employee to me re: 50% staff reduction: "Can say unequivocally that such deep cuts to SSA, which is already at historically low staffing, will cause significant to extreme degradation of services, very likely including checks missed and individuals dying before their claims can be processed."

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Measles can cause immune amnesia so catching measles might mean that you would have to get every vaccine you've ever gotten over again and every cold, flu and infection your body has already learned to fight off it would forget. Except for measles itself.

I think what this shows is that most people aren't actually anti-vax, they're just extremely obstinate about being asked to do anything even slightly inconvenient when they don't see an immediate benefit for themselves

My racist HS physics teacher just put a photo of Snoop and Trump on his feed and my classmate posted a response that said "you wrote me up for listening to Snoop in your class in 1993 so fuck you and I think it's about time you know that your daughter stayed over at my house after prom"

Something to understand about the nazi salute nonsense is that back during Reconstruction there was a cottage industry of Klan denial, where Democratic papers would pretend the KKK didn't exist or point to their stupid rituals as evidence they were a Republican delusion or otherwise harmless

Most of your favorite leftist intellectuals of a certain age harbor some pretty wack opinions when it comes to queer theory. Chomsky, Finkelstein; whoever - you ask certain questions and you'll get some pretty reactionary takes. This is nearly always the case, folks don't keep up with the times.

These are brown shirts, and this is Nazi behavior. We are not in a fight between right and left anymore. This is a fight between Americans and those who would bend the knee to a king. If you care about the soul of this country, we have to stand for each other.

This is exactly how Hitler talked. It's not even a comparison or analogy, as people claim. It's a direct connection in ideology as well as a similar approach to governance and relationship to democracy. This needs to be how we talk about it. They are the ideological descendants of Hitler.

Remember when Mitch McConnell said this? Oh wait, no, he was too busy twisting every rule he could to delay and deny the Democratic process. The old rules of decorum in politics are no longer in effect. Haven't been for a while. Dems need to switch strategies, like yesterday.
