Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen:

"If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU."

"Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.

Ansari: I think ICE is completely out of control, and there should be no more funding given to ICE. The funding that's already has been given to them through the big ugly bill should be stripped entirely

Markey: Vance said that he was just doing his job. Murdering a young mother and orphaning her child is not a job. It is a crime

GPS has changed NYC taxi experience. When I was a kid, you NEVER gave an address. The addresses on the Avenues are just too bizarre. (I mean, try to figure out the equivalency between Park Avenue & 6th Ave addresses.) You only ever said 23rd & 5th or 81st & Riverside. Now? They want an address!

If you refused to vote, you don't get to claim any kind of moral superiority about what is happening now. By not voting, you chose the violence and the fascism.

You cannot look me in the eye and say this insanity would be happening under Harris.

Go fuck yourselves.

Chris Murphy is a staunch defender
of what I always thought we were
as Americans.

Connecticut: I have had clients in Waterbury & Danbury & New Haven & New London & Hartford & Stamford & Wallingford. I loved working with all.

Kudos & respect to you, Connecticut, for electing such a strong Senator.
Murphy: The United States Congress should not fund a Department of Homeland Security that is not obeying the laws of the United States of America

I couldn’t stay for Act III
of Madama Butterfly.

It’s always been sad but now…
now…
It’s overwhelmingly sad.

And now the use and abandonment of a 15 year old girl is an even keener cut to the soul, today. Now.

Arrest and try the Epstein files criminals.

Angels and ministers of grace,
defend us!

Now I can’t say or think
the word “good”
without making it Good.

I never knew you Renee,
but now the common word
is your uncommon Good.

Amazing to watch free market Republicans support Comrade Trump's socialist agenda of central planning, government ownership of private companies, price controls and breaking up oligopolies.

Whenever someone says they are “neither right nor left,” prepare to discover that they are so far right it will take your lovely breath away.
I wrote book reviews for a while for the WSJ well over a decade ago, and Bari Weis was my editor. One of her special tricks was to try to insert a sharp rightward slant into my essays *after* it had been copy edited, as a way of slipping her viewpoint in at the last minute.

It seems like she just says what she thinks. (Most of them just say what they think others want to hear.)

I don't think they realize their positions come with actual responsibilities and not just memes and sh*tposting.

Stop this at once!

trump inherited the finest economy in the world.

he is not “making things worse,” he is destroying all the success of the prior administration. We were the envy of the world just 12 short months ago. Now we are the pariah.

STOP THIS AT ONCE!

I can’t emphasize enough how shocked my out of state friends and family are when I tell them what has happened in Minneapolis since Renee Good’s murder.

Without reliable media, most not-chronically-online people are completely in the dark. If you want to help Minnesota, tell people what you know.

The people of Minneapolis are impressive.

Do you renounce Satan?

And all his works?

And all his empty promises?

For some reason, I find myself

- an atheist with a heavy, deep, formal education in Catholicism & world religions -

reciting this tonight.
