There's a little library that straddles the US-Canadian border:
the "Haskell Free Library and Opera House".

Since 1904, it's been free to use for people in Stanstead, Quebec & Derby Line, Vermont, with just a black tape line to indicate the international border.

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them.

If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

It also underlines how dumb and historically ignorant racism is when people like Sean Hannity do it. Dude, you've been ok for maybe the past 60 years, historically speaking.

The word that means the opposite of win should be spelled "loose" not "lose". It's just more intuitive spelling!

My entire data point consists of my friends' teen in DC. Some of her friends have bands! But I'm not sure how they practice.

"Nothing upsets the population more than the denial of Christianity or the practice thereof" - a quote I once read, I think. Anyway these Christians are doing a good job of doing Christianity, so we should let them have at it.

This is an amazing flex and I personally would have it all over my socials, plus I would just email it to strangers.

I was never a big Biden person, but I think if and when he meets his maker it'll go fine. There's a reason he doesn't worry about it. I never thought Trump believed in anything but he apparently does enough to know it will not go fine

You're right, I'm an awful person. I feel so bad. Thank you for checking me. It has made a meaningful difference in the world.

I do. I do know that. I think ICE is bad but anyone genuinely responsible for other people would at least consider making that bad choice if it came down to it.

I know, but it's depressing. What's worse is if you have kids and joining ICE isthe only way you're aware of to get them good shoes and health care. Like I would do it under those circumstances.
