“on one issue”

i saw the picture of the little kids holding hands and immediately teared up. why. how. why.

So today, ironically, there was a job posting for an attorney or July bar exam applicant at the Legal Aid in my city. Actually, there were two postings, but one of them was for a housing security attorney, representing tenants in private and subsidized housing disputes and advocating for tenants by working with…

The only thing the current immigration system has managed to definitively accomplish is the creation of an exploitable underclass. We need to stop pretending that this is a bug and not a feature.

On the BBC’s news cast this morning they kept mentioning that “poor weather” was causing problems with the projection of the photo on the cliffs at Dover.

I think mine would save me just because CO poisoning is too fast and painless a death for me.

Every time I read one of these sweet stories about a cat saving their family I look over at my kitty, and she gives me a look that clearly says “I would totally let you die.”

Looks like we gotta start running ourselves.

I’ve been active duty military for ten years (not the Marines). This was an incredibly depressing story to see break today, but what actually gives me some hope is the strong, emphatic push back online from some male Marines that this is not who the Corps should be. People with real influence are starting to speak out…

CANNOT STAR THIS ENOUGH

CJ CREGG FOR PRESIDENT

I don't even like wearing too tight pants. Man.
