They’re forcing you to ask the wrong damn question. It’s not “why are these singled out groups allegedly getting government sponsored health care?”

You should be asking “why aren’t ALL of us getting government sponsored health care?”

Now in a position of power at the network, Ms.
Weiss is the one concerned about leaks. She has complained that her comments at private CBS meetings keep turning up in media reports, asking if the company can identify the leakers, according to three people familiar with her remarks.

Does Mike Johnson go with, “I haven’t seen the video” or “The President has fun online, last I checked that’s not illegal.”

Just in from two SF No Kings events (Ocean Beach and then a colossal march and rally downtown). So many good signs, so much devotion to justice, liberty, human rights, and Jesus lord the one part of the US economy that must be booming right now: INFLATABLE critter costumes.

If history teaches us one thing
Never trust a man who would be king
Who seeks all power for himself
To burnish his prestige and wealth

And a nation born in revolution
Should know this offers no solution
For there can be no liberty
Where one man rules with impunity

Was just lamenting the lack of printed catalogs for the New Orleans Film Festival and look what just came! Maybe I will check out some films. Love me a film fest!

Is there ever any follow up to what Johnson does know? Because it’s always his same damn response/lies.

Official reports are likely to overlook heat’s role in a death. As US temperatures rise, experts say the true toll needs to be counted

After the protest, come on down to Pirogues and help Arabi and the Lower 9 raise a couple of bucks to keep fighting. Also, if you haven't been to Pirogues, they have a gigantic courtyard out back and they have oysters and such and even a few vegetarian friendly tacos and burrata and salad.

I love protests. All of them. March placidly? Hell yeah. Get kettled by the cops and beaten on TV? Awesome. Set fire to a police station? Love it. Stop 18 lanes of traffic? I salute you. You're doing it right. Love that for you. Wave a Mr Hands flag, you're gold in my book. Set every waymo on fire.

Saw signs for this everywhere I went today. Good job sign put-up-ers! Have tickets for Shrimp Fest, but if they allow in/out I’m planning on swinging by.
