Adding my voice to those saying to the Democrats: Do not move an inch. No compromising, not this time. You have given far too much ground already. Hold the line.

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

We can fund health care and keep the government running, or we can shut everything down to raise prices on people.
To me, that’s a pretty easy choice.

IMPORTANT PERSPECTIVE: What I have not seen anyone discussing is that Nexstar pulling Kimmel, forcing ABC’s hand, comes as Nexstar is leading the way for the industry on trying to get FCC approval for media consolidation. www.poynter.org/business-wor...
Nexstar’s takeover of Tegna would require an overhaul of FCC ownership rules - Poynter
The proposed sale would exceed the FCC’s 39% cap, igniting debate among broadcasters, unions and press groups

Set aside Sen. Mike Lee's storm of lies and incitement here. Lee literally made jokes on Twitter about the fmr Speaker of the Minnesota state house being murdered in her home by a right wing extremist. Hard to imagine any more twisted and malicious person in public life.

I am currently procrastinating planning my lessons for the week by rewatching The Walking Dead and you know I genuinely forgot how good Season 3 was. TV at its finest. I'm noticing new things, appreciating different things, but still loving it all. Thread will have some random thoughts.

So sad to hear that this judge passed away. He was such a good, compassionate guy, I could see it in every video.
Judge Frank Caprio was a good man.
A good man, in and out of court.
Wishing Godspeed to the Judge, peace to his beloved family.
Prayers and condolences to the entire Caprio family, the Rhode Island Judiciary, courts and his beloved Narragansett community.
