- Reposted by ZhenyaThis may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

- Problems again today, too. My daughter's return from Newark to SeaTac kept getting delayed because (her words), "air traffic control lost contact with a bunch of planes."

- Reposted by ZhenyaThis is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.
- Reposted by ZhenyaThe head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.
- Horrifying response from the person holding the position once trusted as leader of the free world. Ukraine didn't start the war and they're asking to make a purchase not begging for a handout.

- More headline-worthy than the fact of China's new tariffs on US goods is the Chinese Finance Ministry spokesman calling Trump's entire tariff strategy "a joke in the history of the world economy." Is America great yet?
- While they're taking care of the people who helped their return to power, will the current US government also resurrect the guy who took the shot at Trump -- or, more importantly, the other guy in the crowd that day who was killed by a stray bullet?
- Where is the data on actual violent criminals deported under the current administration? From here it seems efforts are primarily focused on nonviolent ideological beliefs -- with punishment being doled to students and non-criminal members of our communities. Am I missing something?

- Reposted by Zhenyai have learned that way too many americans see the concept of 'freedom' simply as the potential to be rich and privileged, even if they aren't, & not things like freedom from dying from a preventable illness if you're poor, or being imprisoned for minor crimes, or persecuted by the police, etc

- Deleted because T signaled support. Further evidence that even (and perhaps especially) his alarmist rhetoric is just more empty rhetoric.

- My dad's version of this to me, a couple weeks before the election: "So he exaggerates sometimes..."
- I applaud this pastiche of "This is just to say"
- Should go without saying. Nevertheless, I had to say it even to my retired doctor dad, whose entire life's compass has been overridden by far-right ideologies.
- Just off my 4-hr flight and am thrilled by the news that @booker.senate.gov has broken Thurman's record filibuster against segregation with a new record on the side of Democracy and decency!
- 1hr 3min between news she'd been found guilty of embezzlement (2:34am) and that she'd be barred from public office in France (3:31am). But here in the US, after 4 years we still let an insurresctionist traitor, adjudicated rapist and 34-ct felon return to the Oval Office and dismantle our democracy.

- Reposted by ZhenyaEven if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.
