Please spread the word. I’m waiting to hear from my students but we can all do this. Email now and call in the morning. W

The quality of being "peaceful" has never insulated anyone from police violence. It's important to remember this. The law is not a moral instrument, and police are violence workers.

This is a litmus test for liberalism and so many are failing with flying colors. A nonviolent protest against a brutal war violently suppressed with the help of some of the most prominent media and political figures in the country. History will not judge them harshly enough so let's start now.

Yes, a violent group of psychos that led an armed insurrection in an attempt to overthrow the government in the name of a flatulent con man is the same as non-violent individuals protesting violence and murder

It's probably best not to engage with dead-enders who'd rather watch society burn than be adults and vote for Biden, or at least try to persuade rather than scold. But it's so damn frustrating they haven't already figured out at this late date that Trump is an existential threat.

Those apple sauce pouches for kids, but with guacamole instead

Kīlauea Earthquake Swarm Continues, Closures Remain In Effect

Tyson Foods dumped millions of pounds of toxic pollutants directly into American rivers and lakes over the last five years, a new investigation revealed

What's cool about looking back at the history of college protests is that 19 year old students have been right about every single American war, and the esteemed Harvard educated opinion writers at the New York Times have been wrong about every single American war.

"Thanks to NY's strict laws about media access, the trial has precisely the wrong level of exposure for Trump. It's not totally behind closed doors, so he can’t just lie about what transpired. But no cameras also means he can’t turn things into a circus."

Kīlauea is not erupting. A spike in earthquakes has prompted HVNP to close some areas. Hilina Pali Rd. closed. Kulanaokuaiki Cmpgrnd closed. Overnight camping suspended all coastal sites, Nāpau & Pepeiao Cabin. Kaʻū Desert Trail closed from Footprints Exhibit. Maunaiki Trail closed. ~HVNP IMG: NPS

Right now I'm writing something about how Tucker Carlson's career tanked in the year since he got fired from Fox News, and man, his career... it... just... truly... tanked.

very exciting evening. some dudes crashed a car into a utility pole directly in front of my house and then ran off. i have no power and no internet. i am going to become the joker.

The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the US passes 1 million and the death toll tops 58,000 - more Americans dead in three months than perished in the Vietnam War. With no therapies or vaccines, about 2,000 Covid deaths are recorded every day. tolonews.com/world/us-cor...

Trump’s VP pick will be a fascist bootlicking talibangelical Putin-fluffing moron no matter who it is. Vote Blue.

Breaking news: A federal court in Richmond became the first in the country to rule that state health-care plans must pay for gender-affirming surgeries, a major win for transgender rights amid a nationwide wave of anti-trans activism and legislation.

Trump campaigns as the first candidate in history to run on a "law and order" platform while on trial as a criminal defendant, and facing federal charges of previously fomenting his own insurrection.

Helping an older relative use SNAP for the first time. This is a publicly humiliating process that holds up lines and expects the elderly to be tech savvy or starve. I think this relative has been avoiding eating to avoid figuring it out. I am glad she has family to guide her. How many don’t?

My Sunday SCOTUS thoughts at Law Dork: “This week’s arguments at the U.S. Supreme Court were disturbing. They also, however, can and should serve as a warning siren.”

There’s a lot more than Ivana buried at Bedminster.

The most dangerous domestic terrorist organization in America.

They're lucky if there is one witness to a murder, but they require two at a wedding, so that tells you which is more dangerous.

Message for those GOP idiots! If you take away our rights you lose our votes!

My approximate position is that a centrist is either a moderate who imagines themselves a liberal, or a conservative who imagines themselves a moderate, who expects the worthy & lettered to appreciate their intelligent contributions, even if they disagree, & disdains those who do not

Dear God, I swear I’d rather have sewing needles ram’d up under my finger nails than listen to this stupid SOB rambling incoherently.

"The Republican discourse around the Arizona charges consists of whining that Dems are engaging in lawfare. But if MAGA had an ounce of self-awareness, they'd recall that Trump filed a staggering 63 cases in an attempt to overturn the election results."
