One of @ewarren's two children went to private school until 5th grade. This does not mean she is lying when she says that her children "went to public school, as @DeAngelisCorey well knows.

30K people have liked/RT'd this nonsense.

This website is going to destroy the world
*"Until" should have been "after," my mistake
And of course also

IMM JUDGE: Sir, I scheduled a hearing today so that you could file an application. Do you have that?

DETAINEE [in Spanish]: I couldn't.

IJ: You couldn't fill it out?

D: Idk how

IJ: maybe someone who speaks Spanish & English could help

D: I don't have any friends
IJ: I see here that you have 2 US citizen children and no criminal record. You may be eligible for a greencard.

D: I want to leave.

IJ: Are you sure?

D: I tried to find help. No one could help me.

IJ: Sir, it doesn't have to be a lawyer. There may be other people to help you
IJ: You understand that you'd be up your rights and accepting deportation.

D [thinking]: OK. My children need me. Let's try.

I see something like this every time I'm waiting through the #immigrationcourt detained docket. None of these people have a right to appointed counsel.

Another sad day for immigration law: The Board of Imm. Appeals proved today that it is not only willing to openly violate our international treaty obligations, but that it really may not understand the basic concept of rogue cops operating with impunity in failed states.
Uniformed officers w/service weapons came to this #asylum applicant's door & violently extorted him, and the BIA went ahead and found that they probably weren't real cops...

because they told him not to tell the cops

And he should have reported to the real cops

what

WHAT
That is absolutely not how any of this works, as anyone who has given even a few seconds of thought to what it might be like to try to survive in a gang-compromised nation like Guatemala would understand.

Rogue cops do this kind of thing *all the time,* and no one can stop them

Accidentally read @NancyMacLean5's "Democracy In Chains" & @andrewmarantz's "Antisocial" consecutively w/out a palate cleanser during #impeachmenthearings & now can't stop thinking about our inevitable future hellscape of unchecked Austrian economics & fact-free public discourse
They're both very good books which you should read, but maybe just read some light fiction in between is all I'm saying
An awful throughline: the conservative activists responsible for undemocratically degrading & delegitimizing our government/media know exactly what they're doing--and that they can't win (or maintain power) otherwise. They're way more open about it than you might think

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

docs.google.com/document/d/1_J…

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

One oft-neglected fact about “Medicare for America”: private insurance companies could sell privatized Medicare for America plans, which, like Medicare Advantage today, means a great waste of public resources for corporate gain.

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/23821…
And without the efficiencies of a single-payer system—the large reduction in administrative overhead and profits—its difficult to affordable provide first-dollar, comprehensive coverage to everyone in the nation. Which Medicare-for-America fails to do.
Under the Medicare for America system, some would still have copays, deductibles, or co-insurance. Like today.

Under Medicare-for-All, coverage would be “first dollar” for all—as in Canada and the UK.

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.

After 70 years of imperial/neoliberal indoctrination the web of lies is so obviously absurde (9/11, Skripal, WH = ISIS, etc.), that it is dissoluting. The empathetic humanity connects, closes ranks and sends their eternal psychopathic rulers and their lackeys into nowhere land.
The "evil empire" is a lifelong three year old child. I certainly loved my children at that age too, however only because they created not only a surreal mess, but also made steady progress.

A great documentary about psychopathy and society:
The elite invented "democracy" to protect them from the empathetic people. The media are their means for misleading the people sedated by "democracy". This is definitely a bad thing since the people have become educated and the elite almost totally insane.
