If the Young Republicans (where have I heard that name recently...🤔) pull this off, it will establish a dynamic where, at best, the majority party can force opponents off of any ballot in the country. More likely, it'll be Republicans who can do that, and never Democrats.

FYI: it’s, uh, *not nothing* that the head of an entire Christian denomination — here Rev. Karen Georgia A. Thompson of the United Church of Christ — issued a statement decrying DHS agents for shooting one of her pastors in the face with a pepper round, adding, “No one is safe from tyranny."

Trying to think of right-wing sci-fi authors who might come close, and not coming up with much. Ender's Game? Who owned Peter and Valentine's blogging platform where they wrote blog posts so logical that the whole world fell in line?

There are many good science fiction novels. Not a single one that I have read delivers a happy vision of the future in which aged right-wing billionaires control the media.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.
And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.

There are no circumstances where human beings should be without food. There are no qualifications that make someone undeserving of access to food. If you are a human being, you should get food. I don’t care about ability, job status, legal status, or anything else. If people are hungry, feed them.

The kingdom’s Public Investment Fund is likely to provide most of the equity funding for the $55 bln take-private of Electronic Arts. Betting on a US gaming group runs counter to the vehicle’s recent domestic focus. And the returns may not justify such a strategic detour.
