A video from inside a Border Patrol vehicle shows agents chasing a US citizen for filming them. The citizen refused to get out when they illegally ordered him to stop. The agents say: "This is great." "This is fun." "He's going to get shot."

Catastrophic for Republicans to be underwater with white voters. It’s like the “leopards eating faces” party being underwater with leopards.

On this Transgender Day of Remembrance we honor those who we have lost from our community. We say their names aloud to keep them alive in our hearts and our memories, never to perish.

We live on to keep them alive within us and we will keep living because we are not going anywhere!

So if Olivia is 32 now, broke up with Lizza last year, was together with him for a decade, and then was living with you for 4+ years before that, how old was she when you moved her out of her (presumably parents’) house in the suburbs to live with you?
olbermann.bsky.social Keith Olbermann @olbermann.bsky.social · 6d
Btw about this from Lizza's reply: Olivia and I lived together for 4+ years (4 b'days, 4 Xmases, 4 anniversaries). That's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration. And her apartment was a writing studio. And I made an f-ton then. What was I supposed to do? Get her a lot of Gift Certificates from Kmart?

All the information in the Epstein files will come out. Republicans are just assuming that no one will care. Collectively this country has demonstrated that it doesn’t care enough about children murdered in school shootings to do anything and it hates women. Why would it care about pedophilia?

I love it when old conservatives say "you don't understand the way the world works" because the problem is that we do understand and think it should work differently

with the holidays upon us please enjoy my favorite miss manners column (circa 2002)
DEAR MISS MANNERS: A couple of years ago, my wife and I attended the wedding of two people who had been friends of ours for years. One year ago, the woman left the man for another man. We heard all about it from the man but heard nothing from the woman as we live in separate towns. We received a little Christmas package from the woman who, in her note, made no reference to her infidelity -- an act that considerably affected all who were friends of the pair. I felt instinctively the need to thank her for the gift and card, but I didn't feel as if I should ignore the issue of her leaving her husband. In the end, I wrote a thank-you note and told her what I thought of the situation - not in excoriating terms but in bluntly honest ones. In your opinion, was this boorish? GENTLE READER: Yes. Had you wished to register your disapproval you could have written her a dry letter of thanks; had you wished to register extreme disapproval, you could have returned the present. Miss Manners is afraid that “Thanks, slut," is not a proper communication.
