“One of the chants that has become ubiquitous at these protests at Broadview is, ‘Love your neighbor, love your God, save your soul and quit your job,’” said Black, who pastors at the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago. “Everybody chants that.”

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

The rules have changed. Mike Johnson wants to wait until the official results come in October 14th to swear in Grijalva.
Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results.
So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

So sick of people lazily insulting him by calling him some variation of overweight. You don't even have to get creative to insult him in a million ways that don't further the body shaming (mostly) women have been victim to for decades. It's not about him, it's about US.
Hear us out: words matter. We can insult him in 1947 ways without commenting on his weight. Plenty of people on the side of the USA, like us, will feel words like this apply to them too, and so will be a party to you using these words as insults. Be more creative.
