Scraping along to sneeze out a likelihood that will solve and salve life's robulous rebus.
I guess I haven’t checked every possible article and every possible clip, but imo Democrats not throwing themselves into the gears of the machine over $170 billion to ICE is the equivalent of the 1939 voyage of the St. Louis.

Voyage of the St. Louis
In May 1939, the German transatlantic liner St. Louis sailed from Germany to Cuba. Most of the passengers were Jews fleeing Nazi Germany. Learn more about the voyage.

In my family, news simply isn’t connected to reality unless it’s confirming a specific personal problem that may or may not be systemic.

I get it, but I’m also endlessly annoyed. Dick Cheney was anti-LGBT rights until, oops, someone he knew and liked a lot was LGBT: “Now it’s OK👍”

I haven’t been able to read the full decision yet. The sound bites I’m catching sound too insane to be true. They’re like, “The Executive Branch can suspend the Law until they’re sued, but the suit only restores Law on a per-district basis.

Ghouls, goblins. Strike their name from The Book until further notice. Into the fire with them.

Euch, I don’t want to read what you’ve been reading. Whatever the equivalent was for Japan, it was transformative.
