@tribelaw Judge Kavanaugh is the most obviously “bought” justice I’ve ever seen. It’s amazing to watch really. I hope I live long enough to find out who bought him and for how much.

@clhubes Sorry, mine’s the best. We have five kids (all grown now) and we had a rule. If he wanted to run an errand, a haircut, trip to the hardware store or whatever, he always had to take at least three with him. Think about that, at least three LITTLE kids? What was I thinking?

@JasonOverstreet I’m sending my daughter there to work full-time. Anybody have somewhere that she can stay? She’s a great 19-year-old kid who just got off working for the Biden Harris campaign.

@the_transit_guy Yep. Exactly. I’m in Spain. The train from Madrid to Barcelona goes 189 miles per hour. It’s amazing. Why can’t we have nice things in the US???

@MaxBoot @BretStephensNYT needs to understand his impact. When he calls people “illegal” who come over the border now and compare them to “legal” immigrants like one’s relatives, he misses an opportunity to use history as a place of understanding. WE HAD OPEN BORDERS UNTIL 1924!

@WalshFreedom What about these people at protests? I’m seriously asking. Why are they so seldom mentioned when talking about the protests?

Spent the first night of Passover at the student seder in the Gaza solidarity encampment at Columbia. The Jewish flank of the Palestine solidarity movement is growing and it is so beautiful to behold. Judge for yourself how unsafe these Jewish students look.

@docrocktex26 @liberaldenver @atrupar @micheinnz Yes! Exactly. Most folks wish there was an easier way but there isn’t. We must educate youth that this is the only way too. So many of them are disillusioned. “We tried voting last time… ” “Both parties are corrupt…” But we have to do it all again and drive MASSIVE turnout!

@LisaBloom They won! Can’t they be gracious winners and listen empathetically to the losers now? Why is it our responsibility to listen? We are losing environmental protections, the Supreme Court, protections for undocumented, protections for workers, teachers, etc.

@LaTR75 @HaroldJ_NEPA @tlecaque Many of the states have the money (look at PA for instance) but they are SPECIFICALLY starving the schools. When will we all realize that they want to ruin public education? That’s the whole idea!
