America in 4 acts
-------
1

The best America:

Champions. Joyous. Exuberant.

As @mPinoe says: Resilient. Tough. Humorous. Bad-ass. Un-phased. White/Black. Tattoos/dreadlocks. Pink hair/purple hair. Straight/gay.

Leaders.
2

What we can be.

Smart. Ideas-fueled. Collaborative and competitive. Genuine, flawed, adaptive.

Politics as practice and substance. Not absurdity.
3

What we are saddled with now

I don't have the energy to find the headlines of this admin's corruption, viper-like mentality, Javanka knives out for everyone, misogyny, and normalization of racism and xenophobia and the torment of others.

Maybe the image is just this:
4

What will ruin us

The worst
The indefensible
The stupidest
The most dangerous

Don't be silent.

Alisyn Camerota just spent 10 minutes trying to get Ken Cuccinelli, acting director of USCIS, to admit there is a connection between POTUS tweets and immigration policies, and his answer was "so what?"

Imagine knowing all your future ambitions are linked to a racist and a liar.
I'm sorry @CNN but no person just called out on a blatant lie on the air should get to continue the interview as if they are a reliable source.
Now ex-Rep Mia Love is on again -- who, as a Haitian-American republican was attacked by POTUS and lost her seat, yesterday refused to address the tweets directly, and still refuses to do so today, using cowardly words like "icky" instead.

Even with nothing to lose -- cowards.

Mike Pence's timeline at the migrant detention facility (Clean! Sanitary! No cages! Sodas for the kids!) vs pics from journalists.

You decide who to believe.
Here's the link to @jdawsey1 coverage

This doesn't seem very Christian.

More gems from the Molly past -- I have blue books from college!!

Essays on the destruction of Kiev Rus' by the Mongols, Ivan III, and the boyars.

I barely remember learning any of this except I know I use it on trivia night.
See -- even the Mongols knew how important an accurate census is:
And yes, let's not forget that the Russians learned how to effectively rule a large territory from the Golden Horde.

#UN Launches All-out War on #FreeSpeech
In other words, forget everything about the free exchange of ideas: the UN feels that its 'values' are being threatened and those who criticize those values must therefore be shut down. gatestoneinstitute.org/14516/united-n…
Naturally, #UN assures everyone that, "Addressing hate speech doesn’t mean limiting/prohibiting freedom of speech. It means keeping hate speech from escalating into smth more dangerous, particularly incitement to discrimination, hostility & violence 🙄
Except the #UN most definitely seeks to #ProhibitFreedomOfSpeech, especially the kind that challenges the #UNAgendas.

MDN: La Juventus esce dalla Champions, quali sono le sue considerazioni?

@LucianoMoggi: l’Ajax ha giocato meglio, alla juve mancava Chiellini e Can rientrava da un infortunio. Loro si sono dimostrati più pronti fisicamente.

Liam Neeson gonna come out the other end of this with more cred, more movie deals, bigger fame. This is gonna do for him what American History X did for Ed Norton. A white guy bad ass enough to kill black men, yet morally strong enough to stop. This is some fucking bullshit.
There is a strong current of admiration and awe at the idea of white men who are 'raw' enough to go and kill black men. Kinda like Brad Pitt fighting a bear. Ppl said this in HS, "oh that dude will fight black guys, he's tough." It's completely informed by racism.
The key here is that what matters is the white soul. Norton's character was trying to save the young boy from the soul-corroding effects of organized racism. It was about himself. Here, it's about Neeson's soul, whether he's truly 'reformed.' Again, it's about their moral status.
