The Tennessee 7th congressional district election on December 2 is so important. This red-voting district is now a close race according to the Emerson College poll. Vote for Democratic Aftyn Behn. If you know someone who lives there, encourage them to vote. Stop the MAGA insanity destroying America.

WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

Tom Stoppard holds a special place in my heart and, I suspect, in the heart of everyone else who was ever told they thought too much to be an actor.
R&G may be the best play of the 20th century, but Arcadia is, for me personally, the best play of the last 400 years.

Federal immigration enforcement officials called off a planned raid on Canal Street today shortly before it was slated to begin.
New Yorkers who heard about the raid showed up at the garage where the feds had gathered, and as federal agents tried to leave, the NYPD cleared the way for them.

Under a zero tolerance policy, the first Trump administration separated immigrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border.
New data suggests separations now happen all over the country, often after little more than a traffic stop.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Still hard to come to terms with the fact that in the last decade, while the U.S. has succumbed to rising authoritarianism, we haven’t done jack shit about school shootings.
For seven years, CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman and photographer Lou Bopp have documented the virtually untouched bedrooms of children killed in school shootings across the United States. These rooms have become memorials to young lives cut short. Anderson Cooper reports, Sunday.
