I used to empty my coin jars for them.

They don’t get a cent now.
It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

This Thanksgiving I am grateful for visiting my multimillionaire older brother and his family, affording me the unique opportunity to see in one place everything repulsive about right-wing and 1% America: shallow, shameless opulence and the casual celebration of virtue by wealth and skin tone.

Hi-de-hey
Baby, don't you wanna go?
Back to that same old place
Sweet home Chicago
Come on
Baby, don't you wanna go?
Well, come on
Baby, don't you wanna go?
Back to that same old place
Sweet home Chicago
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence"

@dannyderaney.bsky.social I have a confession. Remember Animaniacs? The opening song had different phrases to rhyme with “totally insane-y”; a popular one was Dana Delaney.

I basically mentally sing your name like this most of the time I see it. It gives me simple joy. youtu.be/vIvzRKIv1ZE?...

The Keystone Cops are the Untouchables by comparison.
Breaking on MS NOW:

The full grand jury never reviewed the indictment it handed up against Comey.

Prosecutors said, instead of presenting a new indictment after the grand jury declined to approve one of the counts, Halligan simply brought an altered version for the grand jury's foreperson to sign.

Our Latino friends and family are cautious in Charlotte while we White folks make ample use of our privilege to chase and annoy these thugs.

Why would anyone think they’re making the country safer by chasing a brown flower vendor while Trump gleefully hosts a Saudi terrorist in the Oval Office????
Hiding in the woods like bitches

People from North Carolina don’t play; they’ll find out about North Carolina very soon.

Seeing one of my favorite Latina baristas today brought tears to my eyes. So many Charlotte Latin-owned businesses are closed. Right before the holidays. What does Trump even think he’s doing other than proving he can intimidate the masses?

Day 4 of ICE thugs in Charlotte. Today they’re at South Mecklenburg High School to trap young criminals who might be considering skipping trig to get coffee.

Yesterday they invaded Myers Park Country Club to apprehend a dangerous line cook who reportedly was slicing finger sandwiches diagonally.

Please share. Apparently Charlotte isn’t the easy pickings Bovino and his bully boys expected so some are heading to Raleigh tomorrow; I’m assuming that means all the Research Triangle area. www.theassemblync.com/news/politic...

In case anyone wonders why we are so fervently protesting and tracking these racist attacks in Charlotte, voila their track record.
1/ The night of the raid, Jonahyker López awoke to the sound of a helicopter over his building and federal agents yelling, “Open the door!” López told me he sat on the edge of his bed, wishing that his own door would become invisible. But the door came down and agents burst in. 🧵
