the all but official position of the republican party is that voting for democrats disqualifies you from federal disaster assistance
Rep. Warren Davidson on California federal disaster relief: "If they want the money, then there should be consequences where they have to change their policies ... CA wants the money without changing the policies that are making the problem worse & I don't see how Rs could possibly support that."

Because I haven't seen it shared...Mike Davis's classic "The Case for Letting Malibu Burn." With the fires 0% contained, and firefighters exhausted from 48 hour shifts, I think people should think hard about what he's saying here. longreads.com/2018/12/04/t...
The Case for Letting Malibu Burn - Longreads
Many of California's native ecosystems evolved to burn. Modern fire suppression creates fuels that lead to catastrophic fires. So why do people insist on rebuilding in the firebelt?

My mom was a union organizer for 25 years. I walked picket lines of wildcat strikes with her. We used to run bake sales and trivia nights to support striking workers. You wouldn't survive 3 seconds in her vagina. It would shrivel up what's left of your balls. I miss her terribly.

of the 1500 people who had their sentences commuted (because they were already on home confinement) there are going to be a lot of real fucking shitbags.
going through the list and highlighting the worst is at best an indirect argument against using the clemency power at all.

Biden commuting the sentence of the Cash for Kids judge should be a bigger scandal than the Hunter pardon.
