DAVE MATTHEWS: “I don’t want my taxes to pay for masked thugs to roam our streets & terrorize our communities... She was trying to get away. He shot her 3x in the head. Murdered in cold blood. They’re trying to tell us not to believe what we see. FUCK ICE.”

“No law enforcement professional wears a mask…No law enforcement professional shoots at a moving vehicle.

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

OMG yes!!! Like I've earned some "happy feeling" from my school and they crap all over them by being the actual bad guys!

Ugh!
Can Aggies be allowed to enjoy anything at all for 48 hours without the school embarrassing us on a national level?
The Texas A&M University System will vote on Thursday on whether to prohibit faculty at its 11 universities from teaching “race or gender ideology” unless those lessons are pre-approved by each campus president or a delegate.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

And the truly craziest thing abt this cave is that someone seeing the invasion of Chicago firsthand, Dick Durbin, doesn't understand this.
seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

But let's be honest, they are testing the waters to do just that ... overturn Gay Marriage. We should be cognizant or it will come to that
What Mark said.

It's understandable why so many are so wary of #SCOTUS. But even *if* there were five votes to revisit Obergefell (and I'm skeptical), this just *isn't* the case in which even those justices would want to do it.
The Supreme Court is extraordinarily unlikely to use this case as a vehicle to overturn marriage equality. The merits of Obergefell aren't even the central legal issue in the case. I understand the fear, but this is not a serious request. abcnews.go.com/Politics/sup...

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about:

Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.
It feels like we should be making a bigger deal of “we actually did in fact find a cure for AIDS”
