omg

who wants to rewatch every Nationals home game from 2016
Propublica says he bought season tickets for 2017.

The most expensive seats are the Dugout Club, opened in 2017. Season tickets are $6,560. There are eight.

With $60k in debt, Kavanaugh could have purchased...all eight.

And had enough leftover for 470 craft beers at $16 each.
What I’m saying is, please reply to this tweet with the regular season 2017 Nationals home game you will be watching, then please send screen shots of this man when you find him.

God bless America.
Don’t pretend like you wouldn’t rather be watching the 2017 Nationals anyway.
who buys season tickets but doesn’t have a ball cap

Serving in law enforcement is a dangerous and important job.

However.

This article omits important information, thereby implying that law enforcement is somehow becoming an increasingly dangerous job.
That doesn’t appear to be the case.

2017 saw 129 officer fatalities. There have only been four years since 1959 that had fewer fatalities.

The average from 2002 to 2016 was 159. 2018, so far, has seen 144.
There were 5,147 fatal work injuries in the United States in 2017. By far, the most common cause was transportation incidents, which accounted for 2,077 (40%) of deaths.

In 2018, 50 officers died in traffic-related incidents. 52 officers died in firearms-related incidents.

I talked to a guy yesterday who voted for Beto on the first day of early voting. He’s voted straight ticket democrat in Texas for 40 years, and he said “it just drives me crazy when people don’t vote. That’s how we got in this mess.”
And I told him sure, but after a few weeks in mostly low-income neighborhoods around Dallas, I’ll never complain about people not voting again. Because that assumes people don’t vote out of laziness. Or apathy.

And that could not be more innacurate.
People don’t vote in America, because we’ve allowed America to become a country without a voting culture. Voting is not for everyone. Voting is not who we are.

Voter suppression is often incremental, but the results are immediate, and passed down to future generations.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how Boomers bullied Gen X into the political apathy of the nineties, and how it allowed them stack the deck in their favor for a generation.
Boomers called Xers lazy, spoiled, and selfish while pushing this myth of the American taxpayer. “I’m a tax-payer,” they sneered, like some stereotypical 1950s husband acting like they’re the head of America’s household because they bring home the paycheck.
In 1972, half of 18-24 year-olds voted. By 1996, it was 32%.

For the 1994 midterms, it was less than 20%.

This idea that a higher income, and subsequently paying more taxes, gives you more right or responsibility to be involved in politics is offensive. And dangerous af.

1. In order to #KAG, we must elect honest politicians with integrity. Unfortunately at this point, I can tell you from personal experience, that @steveavonloor is none of those things. Read on for a story I was hoping not to have to tell, but sadly am forced to tell now.
2. Back in August, Brandon was approached by Steve's campaign and asked to do an event in Raleigh, NC. Unfortunately for Steve, I document and archive EVERYTHING: archive.is/NUtFG
3. We had just started planning the march together, and this event was originally scheduled for the day before our first trip to DC to survey locations etc. My mom and I figured we would go and spend an evening with Brandon and others. We were excited.

Friday at 6:15 a.m. @ICEgov will begin the deportation of military wife Alejandra Juarez. She contacted me out of the blue months ago, after we wrote about the wife of a 7th Soecial Forces vet who got a last minute reprieve. It was her last hope. Other media followed (more)
I live in DC, where we stand for veterans & military families in the 3rd inning at every #Nationals home game. It’s a stark contradiction to the vitriol I heard about Alejandra. It didn’t matter that her husband was an honorably serving Marine, or that he later deployed to #Iraq
... as a member of Florida’s National Guard. With each story, I got to know Alejandra better. With each story, @ICEgov thought the emphasis on her husband’s military service - instead of her illegal entry was unfair. Each piece became a re-trial. (More)

no one leaves home unless home chases you
fire under feet
hot blood in your belly
it’s not something you ever thought of doing
until the blade burnt threats into
your neck
and even then you carried the anthem under
your breath

#home #warsanshire #poems
#WhereAreTheChildren
only tearing up your passport in an airport toilets
sobbing as each mouthful of paper
made it clear that you wouldn’t be going back.

you have to understand,
that no one puts their children in a boat
unless the water is safer than the land
no one burns their palms
under trains
beneath carriages
no one spends days and nights in the stomach of a truck
feeding on newspaper unless the miles travelled
means something more than journey.
no one crawls under fences
no one wants to be beaten
pitied

Hey #OpenEd people, get ready for a rant.
I just learned that my campus bookstore is going with Cengage Unlimited. The "Netflix for Textbooks." One price ($120) per student per semester, thru the bookstore. I have *feelings* about this, but I don't see much written about it, so here goes. 1/
Cengage Unlimited is billed as a cost-saving mechanism, which is fine. But this is assuming that it gets wide faculty adoption, which isn't a given. Otherwise, it's just another cost on top of traditional textbooks. 2/
