Please Stop Listening to Steve Bannon
He isn't worth the trouble.

"I’m tired of seeing Steve Bannon in my newsfeed. Every three months, he utters something with zombie gravitas, and too many otherwise reasonable people take him seriously, so anxiety-riddled as they are from the past ten years of political trauma."

I really do hope Kim Davis finds peace. That is a person whose entire countenance seems to be threaded together with insecurity and deep despair.

The Supreme Court rejects petition from Kim Davis to reconsider its 2015 ruling that legalized same-sex marriage, effectively preserving Obergefell for a long time to come. Marriage equality is safe.

One of two things is true:
1. Chuck Schumer genuinely felt this is a bad deal, so he voted against it, but he couldn't keep Senate Dems in line because he's a lackluster leader.
OR
2. Chuck Schumer orchestrated the shutdown deal w/ retiring Dems because he's a bad strategist and got rattled.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

I'm so pissed. King, Shaheen, and Hassan put this together behind our backs. And Kaine, Cortez-Masto, Fetterman, Rosen, and Durbin went along with it.

I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not.
This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.

I'll tell ya what: nothing says Democratic Party and progressive movement like having a major election night victory across the board and then spending the rest of the week viciously arguing with each over what it means. 😂

The world would be immensely better if more religions and their believers had even a tenth of the dedication the Sikhs do to doing good for people with no gatekeeping or expectations of anything other than "you are a fellow human in need and we can help you"
Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries.
No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.

A lady on TikTok has been calling churches pretending to be a mother with a baby who needs formula and several churches turned her away. But wouldn’t you know that when she called a Mosque (Islamic Center of Charlotte) they immediately said yes.

25 years ago today: the most consequential presidential election of my lifetime. 36 days later, it was effectively decided by the Supreme Court. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who voted with the majority, would later she regretted that the court accepted the case.

Quick story about Nancy Pelosi and the first time I met her:
It was 2006, and I was 19. I was a young private in the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, the unit that carries out military funerals in Arlington National Cemetery.

Neither of my parents went to college. I graduated from Georgetown University without any debt and without paying a cent because of the Post-9/11 GI Bill, which Nancy Pelosi got passed over opposition from the Bush administration and congressional Republicans. She fought for us. And she won.
