1/5? I bought Springsteen's "Streets of Minneapolis" as an MP3 from Amazon (where I haven't had a prime membership for over a year). I downloaded the track. I then decided to check to see if there's other music I've bought on MP3 over the years from Amazon that I don't currently have downloaded.

Any #senator could grind the senate to halt by doing three things:
Refuse unanimous consent on anything.
Ask that all bills be read in their entirety.
Ask that all votes are roll call votes.
None of them are doing any of that. They may get a superficial win on #ICE funding, but they'll cave later.

Forgive me for sharing something from The Bulwark, but this is dead on. Except it wasn't the price of eggs. That's what people were willing to say out loud. It was misogyny and racism against Kamala Harris.

"this is not who we are" is 90% of the time a normative statement of aspiration, it's not an empirical claim of "these events have never taken place in this country before". one of the most obnoxious genres of "actually..." is reacting like it's the latter when it's clearly the former.

Speaking as a fat guy, you can go ahead and fat shame these Nazi ICE motherfuckers for being unable to fit into their uniforms. Do so without guilt.

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
