Is it really so hard to give state employees time off for the holidays without using government power to preach your personal religious beliefs? Apparently it is.

Remember awhile back when AIPAC dropped Randy Fine from their website after he said "starve away" in response to 4 kids in Gaza dying of starvation? AIPAC then said "consideration" for endorsing Fine would take place later. Well, turns out AIPAC has added Fine back to their site:

In 1996, Donald Trump crashed a gala fundraiser for a pediatric AIDS charity and took a seat on the dais. He wasn't invited. He hadn't even contributed to the charity, and never did. He just wanted to be at the front of the room, receiving honor and applause. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/tru...

What is your one small thing to help preserve sanity in this insane world? I have started collecting books that have been banned in the past - before they are banned out of existence. I want the children in my family to read, learn, & pass it on. #onesmallthing is a big thing!

The word for “Underage woman” is child. The word for sex with a child is rape. Fox’s word choice make them complicit

Prime Day is a scam and Amazon is one of the companies trying to buy out American democracy. Purchase your books via Bookshop to support your favorite indie bookstore instead—or support RJL! Bookshop is running a 90-hour anti-Prime sale in the US.

it's my favorite day of the year, when the entire U.S. "news" industry turns itself into a glorified blogspam affiliate for a single billionaire-owned retailer and nobody in any position of editorial authority thinks that's weird, tasteless, or unethical

I have a problem with people telling my Hispanic friends not to wave the Mexican or Salvadoran or any Latin American flag. At the same time — pay attention — they’re ok with Irish flags on St Patrick’s Day, Union Jacks in front of pubs, Pride flags, Canadian flags….get the picture? Good for her.

The President does not have the authority to make this decision. There is no imminent threat to America from Iran. He cannot take this action without congressional authorization. I will not vote to give him that authority, and I likely represent the majority of Congress.

Many of us are just one bad circumstance away from losing our homes. Millions of Americans spend over half of their monthly earnings just to keep a roof over their head. We must prioritize affordable housing instead of criminalizing people for having nowhere else to go.
