If she’s in the Epstein files, I’ll ramp up my level of concern.

Until then, I will marvel at the level of stupidity Matthew Fischetti and Hannah Fierick worked hard to arrive at.
“And if you are not willing to stand up and give a great soundbite while it’s happening in the early days, it gets a lot harder to book press time later.”

#WhatAreWeDoing?

Illinois is waiting for someone to do something that actually protects us, not just gets press. Go Judge Ellis.
We have teachers who are not “Ms. ____, but “Auntie ___.” She calls the kids “nieces and nephews.”

It was specific to some cultures, but becoming very common and widespread.

It takes a community … my personal take is that this is recognition of that sense of community.
Cliffs Notes were technically books. 🤷‍♂️🍻😉
It is a choice. Sometimes silence is the appropriate response. I mean, it worked for Poland in the ‘40s. It did work for Poland, didn’t it? Oh. Oh. Oh, shit.

Democrats are largely silent because they are indirectly complicit. The two-party system enabled this; the system they benefit from.
Those crickets you hear, they are Democrats.
The Great Depression thanks you for this great comeback.

Looking forward to Black Friday returning to the day investment/crypto bros throw themselves out of skyscraper windows, rather than a day of gluttonous shopping.
I could possibly be convinced, if I get to pick which 20%.

That’s where Thanos was right: he was accepting of the fact that he could be among the half of all life he was wiping out. It wasn’t about him.
That story needs to be given in context with the time … that was a time when the “roles” of the two parties were flipped. Southern Democrats were fighting against civil rights and equality, while radical Republicans were pushing “for the people.”
Just going to sit over here, keep
quiet, and keep the drinks flowing. 🍻
I get emotionally devastated every time I get blocked.

Wait, no I don’t.

See, if you aren’t willing to have the conversation and tell me why you object to what I say … well, then it really doesn’t matter, does it?
I didn’t think you were supposed to get chimps wet. Or feed them after midnight.
That is a llama with a skin condition … I’m not falling for that … again.
Depends how many you chew in a day.
I had packed my caring in that luggage …
He and Pritzker have already been running. How daft is the American public? [Looks around] Oh, yeah … there’s that.
Hell, yeah! Happy early birthday!

They are only numbers. Your body may be almost 50, but your mind controls it all. 50 feels no different than … Sorry, what did I come into this room for? 🍻
When your potty mouth gets you in trouble one time too many …
His method of non-violent protest did the same thing Dr. King’s approach did: it built coalitions. It facilitated the knowledge and cooperation needed, but was not the signifying action on its own.

Yes, our protests should be non-violent. Then there comes a time to realize it has become a war.
I would suggest diving deeper into history rather than believing Mahatma Ghandi’s diet brought about independence from British rule.

He also died from three bullets to the chest, so there’s that.
Epstein would never approve of that dance floor tiling, though.
But … but … but … he’s a Democrat, shut up and vote for him! Nobody is perfect … unless they put a big (D) by their name. Big (D) doesn’t care, as long as it gives them more numbers/power.

(And the Democrats wonder why people are disenfranchised with them, too.)
