"'It’s different when we do it' is already a bad American habit, and it is one that is dangerously easy to keep applying until something tells you to stop."

We published this on Friday. Obviously we didn't want it to become more directly relevant.
We're all disposable to Trump, but as the people of Minnesota have shown, we can't wait for someone else to stop his ethnic cleansing campaign.

McDonalds, Costco and others' commitment to multiple checkout lines instead of one snaking line feeding to the next-available register creates inefficiency, stokes competitive resentment, nourishes feelings of being cheated, and must end.

Idea: tell conservative influencers that some Dem-related scandal is happening at the National Reconnaissance Office. Y'all better head over there with your cameras and demand to be let in!

If you mouth off to a Dem politician and lose your job, you will become a right-wing celebrity, and the right-wing noise machine will give you a new gig.
