Embittered and rancorous ex-young man realising it might be a bit too late to be a revolutionary, and that most people wouldn't go for it anyway. So, stick to tea and cake.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE.

Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it.

1. Find someone who opposes Trump

2. Find something innocent that they say in opposition.

3. Redefine the meaning of their statement

4. Normalize that meaning via social media networks

5. Send Secret Service to their home

6. Silence them. Chill free speech of all critics

Let's see...Trump names himself chair of the Kennedy Center for the Arts (voted in "unanimously" by the board he appointed).

@scalzi.com I've got all the Old Man's War books and also the audio book versions from Audible.
Audio books are difficult because they really depend on the narrator, but William Dufris is brilliant, and Tavia Gilbert is equally brilliant on Zoe's Tale.
Do you select the narrators?

A Black man just beat the record for the longest filibuster, defeating the record previously held by a man who filibustered the literal Civil Rights Act.

As the time ticked over, Cory Booker announced he did it not out of hatred for who he opposed, but out of love for those who supported him.

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary.

I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.
