Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

All the videos we see of ICE/police/military assaulting people on camera are happening because they know they will face no consequences for their actions. They're breaking the law because they believe the law no longer applies to them. What kept them in check before was fear. Now they have none.

But what if the Riyadh comedy line up is actually being trained to take out the regime in an ARGO meets ARMAGEDDON style undercover operation?

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake,
don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year.
Don’t bother.
Please.
And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.

Download Libby and Kanopy to go with that library card, they're free.
As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.
They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

This is objectively awesome.
I'll probably just throw updates into this thread with the #HorrorMovieBingo tag for anyone who wants to play along.
Hell - share a fun card you made if'n you want, even if it's not for the movie we're watching. Again, literally no one can stop you.
