How are people on the phone all day at work? Like with family or friends? I have worked with people in offices and have noticed it with delivery drivers a bunch.
I’m not even asking how the work gets done, I want to know what they have to talk about?!

These three things are true:
1. You should go to the rally.
2. You should practice good opsec just in case—even if you're a bunch of retirees milling about in a parking lot, it's good to practice.

1. Kavanaugh is an idiot if he thinks that’s true.
2. Even if it were, we’ve seen how they’re treating people in the process of these “stops” and none of that should be happening. To anyone.
3. EXISTING IN THIS COUNTRY WITHOUT BEING A CITIZEN IS NOT A CRIME.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh: “If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen...they promptly let the individual go."

why have so many people on dating apps given the app their ID?

i have a lot of negative feelings associated with sacramento, but hearing about 15 civilians running in to help lift a helicopter off a woman after it crashed onto the highway is making me pretty damn proud to be part of this city!

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits
If Sen. Cory Booker makes it to 7:19 p.m. EST, he will break segregationist Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond's record for his 24 hour 18 minute Senate floor speech against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
