Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.”

I enjoyed learning this.
When you’re sitting in a jazz bar in NOLA and it occurs to you to wonder who wrote “Tea For Two” and it turns out it was a superstar composer of the 1920s who was also an incredibly prolific alcoholic and horndog who died of tuberculosis before he turned fifty and whose photo is utter perfection.

I went to the taping of the very first #DWTS episode ever because Charlotte Jorgensen was our coach and got us tickets and I’m feeling mushy watching the 20th anniversary show even though we quit watching seasons ago. Tom Bergeron was really the heart and soul of the show. So fun to see him back!

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

These negotiations are “should we starve people?
Or let them die and become disabled from disease and treatable illness and lack of health care?
How should we destroy people?”

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
