Oddly I have never been called. I would absolutely serve. Though I doubt the prosecution would seat me.

This infuriated me. "Trump says it's a war zone. Residents say it's not. Impossible to know," says the reporter on the ground.

I was a journalist in another lifetime and I say this is garbage reporting. Reporting is not stenography!!!

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Where did the determination that "restoration" takes precisely a year come from? Is that in the Bible? Was that on the tablet that Moses dropped?

Yeah. I'm old enough to find this moving, and to be sad, the internet makes us mock everything for clicks.

Ah. I'm funny. I'm smart. But I do not align with the politics of the super f-ing rich. Damn. Back to the mines.

It's legal to do whatever the people in power want to do. This is a bitter lesson that a lot of people are learning for the first time but which those who have been under the boot of American "law" for 400 years have well known.

Um, I mean, Clarence Thomas is pretty self-hating. Tim Scott. The few Black Trumpers i know definitely are. Black people can be just as loathesome and stupid and damaged as anyone. It's not racist to say some folks have internalized racism. That jerk hit nail on the head here, unwittingly.

The headline is enough to make my head explode. I'm not going to read the rest. The Washington Post has become a mouthpiece for authoritarianism. Katherine Graham is rolling in her grave.
