Big truth.
My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

The system feeds on your outrage. It can weaponize your anger and categorize your protest. But it can’t process humor. It can’t predict love. That’s why kindness and laughter are still the most radical acts left.

An entirely predictable situation... only thing different than Trump 45 is that he and Republicans haven't bailed farmers out (yet... and might not, because the Freedom Caucus won't want to balloon the deficit for them).
Soybean farmer: What we need more than anything is access to markets on a level playing field. With the trade war and the tariffs, we're at about a 20% price disadvantage when it comes to what the Chinese have to pay for our soybeans versus the Brazilian soybeans.

scroll up — this thread was a BANGER. the judge was NOT happy that the DOJ tried to run around her previous order barring nat’l guard troops in oregon.
DOJ: I would just reiterate request for stay pending appeal and admin stay and note request in order.
Judge: I am denying both requests for stays.

Further, 15 million people will be thrown off their health care entirely.
