The turnout for AOC & Bernie was absolutely insane in Folsom, CA We were in line for over 1.5 hrs and we still never got in!! People set up on the road above the arena just to get a view. Here are some photos from when we got close enough to see.

Let’s hope the shift continues and that Massie and Greene are not the only (R)s with the guts to be vocal about the depravity of the goddamn U.S. President real soon.

Aboard an airliner today, watched what will be Rob Reiner's final film, 'Spinal Tap II: The End Continues.'

Very highly recommend. Haunting, in current circumstances.

(And the cameos by Paul McCartney and Elton John... Make time to see this.)

Arizona, the model for voucher programs across the country, spent so much money paying private schoolers’ tuition that it faced hundreds of millions in budget cuts to critical state programs and projects last year.

School Vouchers Were Supposed to Save Taxpayer Money. Instead They Blew a Massive Hole in Arizona’s Budget.

Also it really can’t be understated how much the voucher scam has helped to take a sledgehammer to public education here. Just a regular stream of these kinds of headlines ever since:

In Alaska we got gutted by libertarian shitbags, lapping the Koch brothers balls. They have Koch reps sitting on town halls in my city. They defunded the schools for 2 decades, we’re 51st in education nationally, and they wonder why people are leaving.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker.

This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

Still in a state of shock trying to process the tragic loss of one of the most gifted men in the entertainment industry & his wife when the Embarrassment-in-Chief disgraces common human decency with this repulsive, deranged statement.

And even if you're right, the punishment for drug smuggling isn't death.
Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

This is actually a good example of why the customer model is wrong.

I wouldn't have chosen poetry writing, but UNC made me take a class. And it absolutely made me become a much better writer, with an eye to concision and an ear now trained to the rhythm of words. I'm a better historian as a result.
If you are providing me with an education that is low utility in the world then it’s a disservice. My composition class spent four weeks on poetry. I’m sorry, but that only would’ve been useful if I wanted to be a poet. I don’t need to know iambic pentameter in order to be a victim advocate.

Tr*mp started his career in the public eye by pretending to fire people from fake jobs. Now he’s worked his way up to being in charge of an administration that has murdered* at least 86 people. What do you think is next?

*It’s not a war crime, since we’re not at war. It’s just murder.

Such a great throw from Jared Goff on 3rd down. Has to hang onto the ball with Quinnen Williams bearing down on him so that he can give Jamo a chance. Tough stuff.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

One time I was at the park outside the senate and I saw some dumbass recording some selfie video with a dumbass grin on his face and I was thinking “Who is this person? He looks like a pretentious dick” and it was Roger Marshall.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.
