To be disobedient, one "does not need to be aggressive or rebellious"; one needs to have one's "eyes open, to be fully awake, and willing to take responsibility to open the eyes of those who are in danger of perishing because they are half asleep". (Erich Fromm, On Disobedience)

The Russian delegation finally walked in — with the Ukrainian side already waiting. Now let’s see what kind of nonsense they bring to the table this time.

So the Republican Women of Baltimore are giving aid and comfort to a proven enemy of the United States? I’m almost to the point of making my own “lock them up” list for when sanity takes control again.

I mean, what if there’s a kill switch? The government of #Qatar would have a gun to the President’s head whenever it (or a partner) wanted something. What if there are listening devices onboard? Any airborne conversation would be compromised. The possibilities are truly endless.

As part of the red-carpet treatment, Saudi officials arranged for a fully operational mobile McDonald’s unit to accompany President Trump during his stay. According to local reports, the unit was set up near the Saudi Royal Court.

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money. He was not dead.

Let's be clear, they're not looking for fraud. They’re looking for money and they don't care where they steal it from.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Those Paul Weiss has betrayed include lawyers who have worked with the firm and law professors who have steered their students there. Belonging to both groups, I feel doubly betrayed. That once great firm should back out of its Trump deal. Better late than never! www.thebulwark.com/p/disgusted-...

GOP Rep. Don Bacon: "Why is a White House official, that's not even elected, why is that person belittling the Polish foreign minister? It's not appropriate. It's not right. We need more discipline in the White House."
