These are the photos of greed and stupidity, of people who have been complacent, of politicians who have not only failed to act, but pretended like they didn't have to. These are the photos of our lives after politicians and leaders of oil & coal industries, having extracted...
...every last ounce of of fossil fuels and taken trillions in profits--and paid little to the people who did the work--will ignore as they cordon themselves off from the destruction of decades of lies, obfuscation and denial leaving us all with a mortally wounded planet.
These are the photos of our future, only it will be far, far worse in the coming years. This is only a foreshadowing of the terror and disruption to come if we deny what is right in front of us. This is the optimistic view of the landscape you are leaving to your children...
..and grandchildren if they even survive to experience it. Looking away is not an option. Denial is not an option. Unless of course you are so selfish you can't even begin to fathom and own your responsibilities.

Folks: Few states count provisional ballots, early ballots, or overseas ballots quickly; usually they do not have to do so because the numbers don't require it... there is a big enough margin for these not to have any effect. In #Florida and #Georgia you have several issues. 1/
@ScottforFlorida has been governor for two terms/8 years. During this time he has underfunded election security and election processes, did not replace Ms. Snipes who he now berates. Why? So he could underfund the election machinery in that county and then blame her for problems?
For @ScottforFlorida to complain now when he is responsible for underfunding election staff, machines, etc is laughable at best, but really a tragedy of democracy. The idea that the second largest county in Florida, underfunded for this purpose, should now pull out miracles,

Every single journalist, every single media outlet that has over past 10 years or more allowed @GOP to lie through their teeth in interviews and on camera, and presented it as a "point of view" is responsible for what is happening in this country right now. every single one 1/
Every single journalist and media outlet that built up @GOP and @SenateMajLdr and called @SpeakerRyan a "wonder boy" is at fault for where we are now. Every single on of those who built up @realDonaldTrump for ratings and money over 30 years is at fault. 2/
From @MarkHalperin to @MLauer to all the rest of you and you know who you are who sought to provide "balance" by inviting liars on shows and into interviews and falling to challenge them and then turned around and grilled Dems as though they were equal... you are at fault. 3/

You know how we keep talking about how folks on the left have a major problem with fat people?

Here’s a real bad, real common take on how we’re to blame for America’s xenophobia & racism.
Like. There is MAJOR implicit erasure of fat immigrants, refugees & people of color here. MAJOR.
There is also an extremely common, easy-to-reach-for disdain on the left for a particular kind of imagined person who becomes a sort of symbol for the hedonism, self-centeredness & arrogance of conservatism.

And that person is almost always fat.

Gather ‘round one and all, for I, an old person, have some things to say about voting and Kids These Days.
The kids these days, they don’t vote. That’s bad!

People say it’s because the kids these days are apathetic. But that’s bullshit; they care about a lot of things. I bet you can think of examples.
They just don’t think voting is an effective means of addressing the things they care about.

Now, of course, that isn’t true. There is a point to voting, and young people should do it, and here’s where I’m gonna get ranty.

After the heinous week that we've just experienced, to have something as detestable as the #SynogogueShooting in #Pittsburgh happen surpasses overload for all of us. It's crucial that we not forget @ this, however. nytimes.com/2018/10/27/tec…

So.

Time for something a little different, and an idea I’ve been toying with—a look at how #transphobes try to frame their narrative within a claim that they are only “concerned” about trans people existing.

I think it’s safe to say that every trans person in the...

1/n
community who isn’t a #transphobic arserag can now spot whenever the usual #hate groups and individuals deploy their dog-whistles to denigrate trans people, especially trans women, but it is all too easy to forget that for the average cis person with no experience of...

2/n
this the comments and phrases that #transphobes come out with can come across as bizarre, or non-sequiturs, or even occasionally even reasonable. That person, because they have no experience of this, doesn’t see those comments as the attacks they are, and so can’t...

It is NOT the United States’ Dollar. It is the Federal Reserve’s Dollar. The Private Bank known as the FED is responsible for repayment of the Dollar Debt Notes.

The US only borrowed notes from the Fed. The US took loans from A Private Bank.

What did they pledge as collateral?
“THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL PAY TO THE BEARER ON DEMAND TEN DOLLARS”

If this Federal Reserve NOTE, promises to pay the bearer Ten Dollars, this means the Note itself is NOT Ten Dollars, but only a note representing Ten Dollars.

So then, what is the Ten Dollars?
A US Dollar is a Coin NOT a Promissory Bill or Debt Note!

The Coinage Act of 1792 created the United States dollar as the country's standard unit of money.

This act established the silver dollar as the unit of money in the United States, declared it to be lawful tender.

Thank you, Attorney General Meese for that generous introduction. It means a lot to me, especially coming from you.

I have said it before, and I will say it again: Ed Meese is one of the greatest Attorneys General in American history.
You had a transformational influence on law enforcement in this country and laid the foundation for 20 years of declining crime in America. Law enforcement still loves you.
