They and ice lie a lot. Every word a lot.

By joining the military and using a GI Bill for state uni, scholarship to Yale.

Absolutely. I read the headline and thought: it fails in every way.

I wonder how many of each party live in more left and less left locations? Obviously I am using “left” in the broadest of terms.

Gender violence is political violence.

“A little fight at home.”

Meanwhile, weapons and spyware continue to coalesce into the wrong hands.

they could be feds, but don’t let them influence you. And if you’re going to do what they suggest, for God’s sake don’t talk about it.

He’s still denying it so I won’t expect much. And it’s telling Congress can agree on his appearance but not on releasing the files.

The guy who prompted the passage of this law is getting filthy rich off the kid he murdered by signing Skittles packs, net worth now about 800mn.

Gross Old Plutocrats did it.

Remember when certain voters started wearing disposable underwear to rallies?

Any alphabet agency employment, including contractors, should be disqualifying, and most military service, unless they did something heroic like Chelsea Manning.

I wasn’t clear. After the two years, without further crimes, they serve time.

Fraud, homicide, human trafficking, torture. Wow.

Eta: so I recently questioned reprieve, which means suspension for two years if the same crime is not repeated in the two years’ reprieve window. I think prison still applies.

I’m not going to argue against any of that. The least wealthy should have access to sports, theatre, symphony, art exhibition, both as participants and spectators, once basic needs are met. Clothing even. The same factories producing the most expensive goods produce the least expensive, and those factory workers and society can benefit from it as much as the designer slapping a label, ostentatious or subtle, and fire exits can be unblocked. If needs on the lowest level of Maslow’s heirarcy of needs remain unmet, that’s the starting point, then onward and upward. People in Iran and California should absolutely have clean drinking water, unpolluted earth for food production. Tuna and sea turtles deserve a clean, cool enough to survive habitat. Air should be breathable. The world is abundant enough to meet every need; but not every greed.

Humiliation is dehumanization, a terrorist tactic.
