I'm reminded of the James Baldwin quote:
"I love America more than any other country in the world and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually"
Some peoples love of country is based in nostalgia for the past. Mine is faith in the future.

Amid the troubling news of the day, this is the kind of content that I’m here for.
If I had a nickel for every time someone called me stupid I’d have 93 cents.

I would not have said this even a few weeks ago, but I now believe that AOC should run against Schumer for that Senate seat. I just heard her comment on how the Democrats supporting the CR have betrayed not only the Party but the American people as a whole. She has a real shot.

Time for my biannual mission to tell people: 1. It’s Daylight Saving Time (no “s”); and 2. Of you hate the early sunset, you hate Standard Time (not Daylight Saving Time). Thanks for coming to my TEDX.

The Comey indictment shows how thoroughly Trump has already corrupted the Department of Justice, Quinta Jurecic argues.
The Comey Indictment Is an Embarrassment
The Justice Department should never have brought such a shoddy case.

Now that white supremacists hold nearly all the levers of federal power, their voters have stopped coding their racism in terms of “state’s rights” and have switched to “fiscal responsibility.” Neither one of these encodings is in any way intellectually or morally sincere.
