Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon: “So he is using YOUR Tax Dollars to protect oil tankers from attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, which will cause gas prices to go up — because he started a war using YOUR Tax Dollars”

I mean, I think I learned about Nazis in first or second grade, after my mom taught me what something I’d heard on the playground meant. Never got confused about it after that. Not sure what their problem is. (OK, I have a pretty good idea, but you get my drift.)

“Rev. Jackson reminded us that the many fights for freedom are interconnected. He saw not only the interconnection but the interdependence of the struggles for justice and dignity. That was Jesse’s rainbow, and he continued to grow it.”
Kamala Harris

The war on knowing things escalated quickly. Now the battle lines are drawn on simply fighting for words to mean things. It’s quite something.

It’s really good. Common sense. Clear and simple. Pretty rare these days.

Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

Bill Clinton has a call to action at the memorial service for Rev. Jesse Jackson:

"You have to ask yourself 'what did Jesse Jackson do that I admire most, that moved me most, and what can I do right now that would maybe be as good as what he did then?' That's what we're all facing here."

Wow. That is spectacular.

To be fair, there’s no evidence that they’ve achieved object permanence.

All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Turns out if your plan is “take out one dude and they’ll surrender and sign over their peace prize to you” it only works once

I mean, how can anyone possibly be this clueless? I guess when you’re walking into the shredder, keep walking is one strategy.

You might be on to something.

This is the thing about bathroom bans targeting trans people - assault is already a crime! Indecent exposure is already a crime! And laws that protect trans people don't suddenly make them legal
