There was a situation here in Ontario a few years ago. Some ice fishermen were stranded when the ice they were on broke away from the shore ice. Helicopters rescued them. That same night, a homeless man froze to death in a bus shelter. I wrote a letter to the Star, pointing out the discrepancy in the reaction to these two things. The Star agreed with me on the phone when they called to verify who I was but didn't publish my letter. Funny how that works.
I think the American people are absolutely ready to hear that this judiciary is corrupt, and distinguish it from "all judiciaries are corrupt"

Alito answers Pro Publica in a Wall Street Journal editorial- a guest editorial, no doubt- because he didn't want to have to deal with being asked about his other gifts.
@PaulDitz the money we spend to bail out billionaires could end poverty tomorrow.

You tried two cases and lost both of them… Have you ever heard of the Washington Generals? They’re the team that basically gets paid to show up and lose right? I think you let the country down
You guys were out in Italy. Were you and Bill Barr looking for authentic pasta out there
If you weren’t going to do what Mr. Jordan said you were going to do and give us the basis for all of it, what’s this all been about?
@TonyStark these bans are indeed unconstitutional. They’re also blatantly fascist. When a political party is systematically attacking the most vulnerable among us, when that party is denying the basic humanity of people because of their sexual orientation or religion or skin color, when that’s same party doesn’t punish those who proclaim these hateful views but exalts in their bigotry proudly & loudly, then that party is a fascist party. Republicans=fascist party. Period.

So that they can get away with lies like this is why the GOP wants to undermine our public education system.
Trump claimed in interview aired last night that 150 years ago, China "was taken over by much lesser countries because they were all drugged out on the opium" and then "things happened and they had strong leadership and they put in the death penalty."
Every single American has got to vote! If they did I'm sure that we'd wrest the power away from the corrupt Republican Party. Please.

I am almost bedridden now due to #LongCovid and have been bedridden for stretches of up to 6 months at a time due to it. Infected in March 2020, when our authorities went from "Covid-19 is never going to come to Sweden" to "it is too late, it is too spread, nothing left to do than let it rip." At the same time, we were told masks are not needed and to fear infection from the mask more than breathing shared air. 🙃
