America has to be redeemed with blood. That is the driving force of my politics at this point. A lot of people need to be buried in shallow graves or spend the rest of their lives in prison, and a lot of people need to live the rest of their lives in penance and ostracism

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

I would simply not lecture people enduring their third year of bombing about message discipline, while simultaneously claiming dumbass inconsiderate Americans as a Russian psy-op.
I am not however a fucking idiot, so perhaps this is a failure of strategic empathy on my part.

I'm Jewish. I grew up in an observant home. My bar mitzvah was at a Lubavitch shul. My parents were ardent Zionists who donated to the Jewish National Fund and AIPAC as birthday presents.

I talk about her in my Black abolitionists of NYC walking tour and usually no one has heard of her but she was Rosa Parks on the bus 100 years before that incident.
In 1855 Elizabeth Jennings Graham brought a suit that initiated the desegregation of NYC transit. Raised by politically active parents (her was mother formerly enslaved, her entrepreneur father was awarded a patent in 1821) Ms. Graham was a teacher, organist, & kindergarten founder.

We are not serious people. No one even asked us to fight for democracy - they asked us to give up a tenth of a percent of our income and we said that’s too much. We have chosen decline and chosen it with gusto
I don’t know if the bombings and blackouts just made me numb or if I’ve achieved enlightenment but I finally feel free to say everything I think about westerners and not be afraid of how they take it

For hundreds if not thousands of years, there has been a great deal of terror, and only a little justice. A great deal of idolatry, and only a little religion. It shall not always be so.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

California alone produces a third of all the food America eats. So this is a lie.
But let’s break down the food produced by the red states:
Guess what percent is harvested by people from Latin America?
