Well, it's a trolls and tech bro world, and we gotta live in it. I'm glad some see a left silver-lining of somehow sending a message on Gaza. But let's face it - that didn't make the difference.

I pray strategists know what they're doing b/c her love affair with neocons is maddening. Still, she MUST win. I get the left instinct to burn it down, but want my kid to live in a democracy. As Harris Courts Republicans, the Left Grows Wary and Alienated nytimes.com/2024/10/24/us/…

“It makes sense that a prosecutor is looking at (the Netflix show about the Menendez case) and going, ‘Ok, well everybody’s seeing this, and the right thing to do is take this up.’” — #USCGould Prof. @ayagruber in @BLaw news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/men…

Soooo . . . It's not genocide when a state engages in a campaign to kill, starve, and displace and ethnic population, and it's not terrorism when a state indiscriminately kills civilians for political gain. Because the state is a US ally. Got it.

A monumental shift in emergency response is underway: non-police first responders are proving effective in cities across the US. From Eugene to Denver, programs like STAR and HEART are reducing crime, easing the burden on police, and saving taxpayer $$$ bit.ly/3AdAfap

A suggestion to make all of our lives less stressful: We don't have to hand-wring about whom we should vote for when we already know whom we must vote against. This is an ouster election. Vote to oust Trump from national politics. It's that simple.

Donald Trump’s first campaign event of this cycle was at Waco, Texas on the 30th Anniversary of the Waco Siege. The opening speaker was Ted Nugent who called President Zelensky a “weirdo homosexual,” and then the “J6 Choir” played a new version of the National Anthem before…

If you think a nightmarish, unconstitutional round up of innocent people, merely suspected of being enemies of the state, can’t happen in the U.S., then you’re forgetting that it already has. I was among them, along with my entire family and community.
