Sometimes, as a Gen X kid, I wish I'd resolved my problems with authority because I might be doing something real, and then I remember my Uncle Ken, who was a phone lineman for years, being offered a management gig and him saying "I am the boss of no man" in response.

Which is the only response.

Popes usually take their papal names based on the legacies of previous popes with that name. In choosing Leo XIV, it seems that former Cardinal Robert Prevost wants to live up to the legacy of Leo XIII, the "Pope of the Workers" who oriented the Church around social justice for the working class.

If recently-released Etc. song "Ex's Cassettes" shows a Mersey Sound Poet influence: it goes nicely with my spontaneous @willsergeant.com homage (at 02.12) etcetc.bandcamp.com/track/exs-ca...

Not hearing enough noise about Mahmoud Khalil from folks who like to quote the "first they came for" poem. Y'all get that the point is that they came for controversial, easily othered groups first, right? Now, it's trans people, immigrants, and student activists. Your turn will come. Fight now.

Worth a listen to what Al Green says after he was removed from the chamber.
Thank you, Rep. Al Green!

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid

J Pie talks Trump / Putin / Farage in language that gets it across better than those I've heard warily discussing the headlines on Sky, BBC, etc.

Tom Homan says he sent an email to the Deputy AG asking if AOC is crossing the line by providing webinars to undocumented immigrants: I’m not an attorney… maybe AOC is going to be in trouble now

This is why you fight these cowards.

The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Trump held a press conference on a deadly crash and somehow managed to blame Obama, Biden, DEI, and even "dwarfism"—but not himself.

He’s in charge of the FAA and the military, but sure, it’s 2020’s fault.
