Really nice of Pastor Jeffress to give a spot in his congregation to that girl who got charged for inciting her boyfriend to suicide. 

You mean like the state of Georgia implemented in 2011, only to see hundreds of millions of dollars of agricultural output rot in the fields, and the state seriously contemplating reintroducing Jim Crow-era prison labor gangs to make up the shortfall?

my mistake. I withdraw my objection. ¡Viva Ocasio-Cortez!

I’ll listen more attentively to what Working Families has to say when they stop being the vehicle by which machine-politics absentee incumbent extraordinaire John Crowly spoils Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s historic campaign.

peanuts, consistency,and patience.

The crows in my city park all recognize me an come flying whenever I’m there. I feed them peanuts, by hand. We’re friends. Corvid friends. They are all my beautiful little children and I love them very much; when they start bringing me presents, like that one girl, my life will be complete.

“nothing” is the key term here. It doesn’t mean you’re obliged to work alongside the lady cleaning your house (you are, as you note, paying her). But it also means you don’t get to sit on the couch. Go do something productive. The purpose of paid domestic service workers is to enable you to be productive with other…

I will repeat here what Yr Wonket’s glorious annual Mother’s Day tradition of posting a Commie Momma Manifesto should teach all of us:

“Garmonbozia”

Need to dial up the Englishness. There’s bound to be a good quote from Whithnail and I that you can use.

Alas! I cannot claim credit: h/t to some Jezebel entertainment reviewer, who was describing her love of “Netflix horny costume dramas.” But it’s such a lovely turn of phrase I have to use it whenever I can.

Update: he won’t be staying there any more. The judge got wind of his bullshit, and is pissed, so he’s being remanded to normal jail. Please enjoy this breakdown by @SpicyFiles (who appears to be a person with a terrifyingly intense obsession with digging up all manner of court filings and plowing through them with…

you get an upfist for taking up the debate from the position of the real victim here. +1

Well, I’m all for dissolving borders as an endgame. “Imagine” and all that. But what we need to focus on right now is not letting the Republicans paint Democrats as radicals trying to unilaterally disarm our border controls. That’s a losing fight.

Fun Fact: sharks, like dogs, usually use their mouths to grab things. So they’ll often bite something just to taste it and see what it is, and don’t intend anything aggressive or hostile with it. #cuddletimewithsharks

PSA: this can’t be repeated enough, but “Abolish ICE” does not mean “dismantle US border control or immigration systems.” It means “replace this inhumane relic of the PATRIOT Act with more traditional immigration and border agencies, like we had before.”

Let’s play the ill-fated Littlefinger’s game, assume the very worst possible scenario, and ask ourselves: could that scenario explain what is now happening?

Looks like we’ll find out Tuesday, just a few hours after That Asshole names the man he intends to sit on the bench of the very court that will inevitably hear the challenge to any finding of contempt. So it’s gonna be a real nail-biter, are you excited?? Can’t you wait for the big reveal? For the summer to come, when…

Holy shit, here’s a godawfully depressing deep dive into the theory that That Asshole has been an agent/useful idiot/groomed toady of the Kremlin since 1987:

Next time, the Black Panthers — whose first public action was to show up on the Statehouse steps in Sacramento brandishing arms — should show up in force to surround these protesters to show their solidarity in support of firearm ownership. I’m sure these #2A people would really appreciate the boost in numbers, being…
