I'll say more if I decide to stick around -- I'm at Parkland College tryin' to help folks who want to figure out basic math. I ride my bike a lot. I'm still here for now.
#mtbos I ducked to former birdsite & lots of discussion of remedial math. Oh, RW press has released report of college in CA where frosh don't have 8th grade skills. WHy is it only RW media? (I refuse to link to that drivel)

Mafia governance in action

"the only offer on the table was that I needed to resign by 5pm that day or the DOJ would basically rain hell on UVA... If I did not resign that day, I was told that the DOJ would extract/block hundreds of millions of dollars from UVA before they would even negotiate."

Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ.

It's a surreal--and troubling--read.

Nunca lo olvides: la dependencia del coche es lo opuesto a la libertad.
Never forget, car dependency is the opposite of freedom.

What’s more “free” than cars, you ask?

Choices.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.

The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

The only solution to the problem he describes is some sort of pool where everyone participates, like universal. Call it Universal Health Care, for instance

THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY

THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY

Please read this entire excellent piece by Caroline, which points out that a judge ordered the Feds (again) to stop doing **this exact kind of thing** and they are still continuing to do it all over Chicago
Arianna Sofia Veraza and her parents were driving to Sam's Club for milk, eggs and diapers yesterday when they heard helicopters and horns blaring yesterday. They had turned around to leave when a federal agent pepper-sprayed them through a car window.

I can't help but feel that Democrats desire to cave to Republicans is because there was a massive wave of Republican losses to Progressive Democrats and Third Party candidates, and most Liberal candidates lost along with Republicans. It is revenge against the voters for abandoning Neoliberalism.

Trump: I'm dismantling the Constitution, building a paramilitary fascist army loyal only to me, demolishing the White House, and blowing up the US economy for my billionaire cronies

Schumer: Okay, but you have to extend subsidies for corporate health care

Trump: No

Schumer: Okay

If you’ve made your Senate calls, time to start calling Dem Congressional representatives (both D.C. & local numbers) and telling them not to accept anything the Senate sends down that doesn’t include ACA subsidies.

Personal stories help. Tell them how much caving will cost YOUR family.

If the rumors are right, now's the time to call.

If the rumors are wrong, well, you've just reminded them to hold the line.
