if there's one thing these guys like more than abusing & profiting from the erotic capital of young girls, it's preventing girls from profiting from it themselves

The kind of state senator who could be president of this great country (of Philadelphia) someday!
A basic requirement of government is to support its people in meeting their needs. As cost of living continues to rise throughout our country, our people deserve more investment from their government than what we delivered today—which is why I voted no.

it's time to secede. or to request admission to New Jersey.
In his budget speech @governor.pa.gov was careful to not say the word 'Philadelphia' once over the 30 minutes, even when talking about next year's 250th anniversary of the US: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjNN...

Ariel Pink went to my old Portland club a couple nights ago after his show at the Star and one of my former coworkers asked him --from the stage, audibly to the bar-- "Hey, where were you on January 6th?" and his body man said "hey, NOT cool!" while the bartender lost it laughing
