Here are some of the GOP Members of Congress who just voted for a Farm Bill that slashes food assistance for 2 million people, while quietly profiting off the same bill cnn.com/2018/06/04/pol…
.@RepLaMalfa gets $1,747,174 in farm subsidies. He called the Farm Bill’s food stamp cuts “common sense.”
.@RepHartzler, who brags in her Twitter bio about working “to reduce big govt,” has received at least $986,789 in farm subsidies since 1995.

I sometimes feel @georgialibs don't get enough high quality, academic press #history & #sociology books. Using the GA Pines automated system, people who are members of participating libraries can get a number of very good books which have recently come to my attention.
"The oldest living things in the world" by Rachel Sussman gapines.org/eg/opac/record…. This photo essay book is a beautiful, mind-expanding paean to our biosphere. (I realize this is a #science #ecology book)
"Talking to my daughter about the economy, or, how capitalism works-- and how it fails" by Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis gapines.org/eg/opac/record…

#History/#Art thread – From my recent trip to Madurai/Tirunelveli. On Jain sites (some with a rich history dating back to at least the 3rd cent. BCE), early Pandyan rock-cut cave temples (7th-8th cent. CE) & the amazing Vettuvan koil.

Pic: Mahavira (~8 cent CE), Kizhakuyilkudi
Before I start on the places, the history around all this is fascinating & splits opinion. Is it apt to call the script Tamili/Tamil Brahmi? Did it develop independently in the Tamil country/come with the Jain monks from the north? Were 8,000 Jains actually impaled in Madurai?>
>Were the Saivites overaggressive in promoting their faith? Shall only be happy to discuss on these separately (unless it gets too long/irrational). And I’m not posting every inscription from the places here, despite their importance. Again, shall be happy to discuss them.

 Knowing what the United States was going to be facing from the British Empire in the aftermath of the Crimea War, Tsar Alexander II, in 1857, began proposing to the United States that they purchase the Russian Territory of Alaska.
3.
 American control would prevent the British Empire from seizing Alaska and establishing a military presence on Russia’s far eastern coast— but
the US wasn’t able to do at the time due to their rising fears of civil war breaking out.

Suite aux propos écoeurants de @dupontaignan (coutumier du fait quand il s’agit de #prison ), petit fil sur un sujet peu connu : les mères en prison, et donc les bébés et les très jeunes enfants en prison. Réinformation #detention #maternite
Rappelons ce dont il s’agit : 100 000 euros ont été débloqués pour 10 places pour une « crèche » (je reviendrai sur le sens du mot dans le fil, il ne faut pas s’imaginer que c’est comme à l’extérieur) à Fleury-Mérogis, pour les bébés qui vivent en prison avec leur mère
Dupont-Aignan s’indigne, déclare que le «confort des délinquants» est la «priorité du gouvernement», à la charge du contribuable. Rappelons qu’il s’agit de place pour des bébés et de très jeunes enfants qui ne sont pas des délinquants, sauf si on considère que c’est génétique...

Hey @AlanDersh:

You know what's worse than not being able to go to Martha's Vineyard anymore?

Having your child being stolen away from you for the "crime" of crossing the border.

Now... in all sincerity... go fuck yourself.
Yes Alan, I know you've meekly spoken out against what's going on at the border.

But every other day since January 20, 2017 you shill for the fascist in the White House that made that policy.

Seriously: go fuck yourself.
Anyways, I'm sure your dinners will still get partially comped at Mar-a-Lago.

Have I told you to go fuck yourself yet?

Well, go fuck yourself.

@almostjingo I started looking into what Mark Warner was doing over the weekend since President Trump said he was drunk. I think he's trying to direct us to that. not what Warner said. He was at 2 parties on Martha's Vineyard. The guest list included Heather Podesta.

@almostjingo Heather Podesta has a Twitter account and this is her pinned tweet:
@almostjingo Moving on to Kat Von D she is a tattoo artist. There is lots of very weird imagery with blood and Satanic symbolism. She got married in a red wedding gown and had a red wedding cake. Check out her Instagram page. instagram.com/katvondworld/?…
