You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

They were misusing the word ceasefire-calling for Israel to surrender unconditionally. And for Israelis to “go back where they came from” (Poland & Brooklyn). They NEVER called for the hostages to be returned or for Hamas to surrender. And they were calling Israelis evil by nature (antisemitic).

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

If all you have is "but Janet Mills in in her 70s!" (but elect Bernie when he's 89) you will need more than that to explain why you prefer a 0-experience ex-Blackwater mercenary over a woman who has twice proved she can win both the Left and moderates in Maine to defeat Collins.
