Famous Chicago Mayor Harold Washingron quote: "Take their money, then vote for me."
Went canvassing for Judge Crawford today. Another canvasser said Musk has paid canvassers on UW campus offering $100 to boys who will pledge to vote for his candidate, and a lot of them are taking the money

What's WWIII without European casualties, amirite?
Macron has announced a French airborne nuclear deterrent base right on the German border - facing Russia.
There’s also going to be massive investment in two new squadrons of Rafales carrying hypersonic air-to-surface nuclear missiles.
Europe rearms.

Context matters - this would have been our first large-scale concentration camp of the size of the famous Nazi 1.0 camps. He will still need facilities of this size, and while we don't want these camps anywhere, if he starts setting them up here, the risk of proliferation balloons.

I'm applying to MFA programs and saw for the first time today "do you identify as a first-generation student?"
IMO, this is a status w/ an external, identifiable metric. It is a tremendous achievement that should not be watered down by people who "feel"
that they are first generation but who aren't

Findom in the 1930s was much simpler, you’d put 5 wooden nickels and a strawpenny in the post, and 6 to 8 weeks later a buxom gal with ruddy cheeks would send you back a daguerreotype of herself sitting quietly in the parlor wearing a spectacularly revealing hat

Just pathetic that a POLISH politician would not understand the logic of disarming Europe. Europe has believed that disarming was proof of its presence as a global force. Imagine if the Continent had continued to be as belligerent as the U.S. and Russia.

White Americans have been agreeing to this Devil's bargain since the dawn of the republic. As long as Black and Brown folks (but especially Black folks) are getting it worse, white people will go along with whatever. For this group, anti-Black hatred is stronger than even self-preservation.
I mean it. Every white person who bargained in their head, “at least they’re only going after Black/LGBTQ/Latino/immigrants, I’m safe” is about to learn that is a loser’s bargain every time. A state that can oppress SOME of the people can easily be modified to oppress ALL. We tolerated it for others
But now, we’re going to see what it’s like elsewhere, when the government is the enemy of the people and desires nothing more than to Hoover up all our money, put us to work for pennies, and threaten to shoot out families if we don’t comply. In short; the oppressors have finally turned to us.
