Briahna Gray knows she is politically irrelevant. That is why she seeks outrage by claiming a more authentic understanding of the Holocaust than a Jew who infiltrates white nationalist organizations to expose them & why she hosts outrage topics like would you date a Kamala stan.
She is what you might call an anti-organizer, persistently whittling away at her political cohort. Finding new ways to draw the boundaries closer to her. She does not understand that success is won through expansion, not concentration
Sure, she will end up with her pure, unadulterated allies, all standing in their stagnant pool of ideological purity, with no movement, no freshening, putrefying with self-regard.
But she will never deliver a single meaningful win because that would require she not consider everyone not her corrupted by compromise and cooperation. She is a political nihilist and offers nothing of value except a model of how not to organize.
The best she can do is grift while the grifting is good, socking it away for when she is as forgotten as she deserves to be. How could she ever be employed as a spokesperson again with her reputation? She's going to milk the vanguardists for all she can while she can.

So for the umpteenth time, local news has interviewed and amplified a person losing their job because they won't get vaccinated. How about the interview the people who did who do not want a breakthrough infection because of these selfish, entitled asswipes?
They always amplify the aberrant, the fringe conspiracists and ignorant, the credulous who believe the snake oil con artists who will grift on their ignorance until they die. They've little interest in the people who mourn those lost to COVID because of these selfish clowns.
While my sister had cancer, her immune system was weakened. Here WBC was often 0 for weeks after chemo. She could not eat any fruits or vegetables that did not have a skin that was peeled off. Oranges and apples, yes. Strawberries, no. No lettuce, no celery, etc. When I went to
visit her before her death, it had been a few years since I saw her and when I left, I knew it was the last time we would ever be together, but we did not hug each other. We used extraordinary care not to risk her getting sick from whatever germs I might have brought in.
Even with vigilance, she was frequently sick with weird illnesses. In northern MN, in the winter, she contracted a fungal infection unknown in the US, but common in Africa. A doctor who had returned from a volunteer stint in Africa a few months earlier was identified likely the
Only 5 more days of hotel living. I am so excited to go home. I hear my bathroom has no walls at the moment so I hope they get on that. My downstairs neighbor has been out of her apt for 6 weeks. I've been out only 3. She left her cat and has someone from the other bldg feed it.
I don't understand leaving her pet alone since the management company would pay for hotel that allows cats. Of course, she may be staying with a friend which might be more comfortable. I have so much medical equipment that a hotel made much more sense. Also, salt water pool!!!!
But all the chair in the hotel are too low. I have to bend my knees too much when I am sitting. No footrest either, so I can't elevate my legs. I can feel myself getting sicker in the hotel and can't wait to get home.
A lot of people don't realize that when folks are released from the hospital to a rehab facility, often it's a wing or a few rooms in a nursing home and not a facility focused on rehab
This means the staff are oriented toward the always there, year-round residents, and staffing and procedures are not geared to rehab patients. So, for example, when I was in a rehab facility after surgery, I was repeatedly given cake, cookies, and pasta despite being diabetic
No effort was made to offer meals that were suitable. None! I was unable to get up and about at the time but calling a nurse so I could get help getting out of bed & walking to the bathroom took too much of their time. They preferred I piss the bed & clean up when they had time
So, no one has heard from my niece for over a month now. Some family members are traveling to CO tomorrow to check on her welfare as she is not answering calls & texts. It's possible she is doing the silent treatment after a big fight over her going back to an abusive partner
But she went back to a violent abusive partner.
I am worried, but hoping she is just being an asshole, letting everyone worry.
I find it weird that she would not communicate with anyone in the family when her fight was with the sister she had been staying with after leaving her partner for the nth time.
The photos of the Border Patrol's abusive behavior reveal a problem that must be addressed immediately. The problem is not the photos, the problem is the behavior. Not only should it be condemned, but the officers should also be disciplined. I hope they're fired in spite of union
But let's not pretend the Border Patrol has ever been anything but out of control qz.com/1734240/crimin…
