Have you called your Congressman or Senators? Even if they can’t do anything for you directly, they may have some luck inquiring with the State Dept or Border Security. If nothing else, it will let them know that they have constituents affected by this order.

No one is suggesting that they “sleep” on the job. My point is that the DNC chair is a nuts and bolts position. The race for chair bores political observers because the chair job is BORING. It’s not ideological; it’s not about showy things like protests; it’s not about fighting. It’s about organizational strategy,…

Democrats stuck in “a coma”? Because they aren’t fighting to the death for the DNC chair? Terrible fucking analysis. DNC work IS boring work— it’s organizational and grinding, trying to convince people to do the least sexy thing there is: voting. Galvanizing for protests is fun and sexy and allows people to express…

A ban on people won’t make the places in your city any less targets. Any disgruntled citizen could decide to initiate a mass shooting or blow them up or whatever. We have less to fear from foreigners than we do from ourselves.

Oh no! Were they on their way here? What happened?

Oh no! Were they on their way here? What happened?

Old sperm.

That wasn’t the attitude at all. Did you read the linked article? Some white women got upset because they were asked to listen to people of color. They are the definition of “snowflake,” and will sit their stupid, oversensitive asses at home while thousands of other white women are marching in Washington. The white…

Yep. Democrats have to get organized and get ruthless.

He really wanted to try to make governing about a fair exchange of ideas and compromise, when Republicans believe “fair debate” is lodging a butcher knife to the hilt in your back. We aren’t on the same page about anything in this country, not even how to democracy.

LOL! You’re assuming we’re somehow gonna live through a Trump presidency.

HE was damn near wonderful. Republicans lost their fucking minds. I know where to lay the blame, and it sure as fuck isn’t with Obama.

I think it’s pretty much over. When the history books are written, Obama will be blamed because he was a rational, fair human being who didn’t 100% fix every fucking problem dropped in his lap which compelled stupid shitheads in the middle of the country to elect a president-elect who was so obviously corrupt, they…

The Trump administration will be corporatist in a way that puts the Bush administration to shame. Trump will see to it that corporations and the rich will raid the Treasury, rape the environment, sell off public assets like land and infrastructure to private, for-profit interests, demolish the welfare state, and leave…

I think Chelsea and her attorneys overstate how much she has been in solitary confinement. She attempted suicide in July. Evidently she was not placed in solitary then. In October, she was sentenced to 14 days solitary, 7 days suspended for that suicide attempt. *The same night* she was taken to solitary, she tried to…

She sounds very mentally ill. Her attorneys complain about solitary confinement and other normal prison things which does her a disservice. They should be complaining about inadequate medical treatment for someone who is severely mentally ill.

But it wasn’t “whistleblowing” as US newspapers had already reported on the event. It wasn’t secret, nothing was covered up, the event was fully investigated, and the soldiers involved were cleared of wrongdoing.

When you use a web client like Outlook, it downloads your emails locally on your computer.

There is no prohibition in the federal government about checking government email on a non-government computer. It’s a matter of convenience so that people can check their email when they are out of the office. I don’t know what kind of organization you work for, but every private sector job I’ve had allows the same…

No. The sample size is quite large, actually. There are 4 million people with clearances, and those people fuck up quite often mixing classified info on unclassified systems (called spillage) because of being human and all. That’s how he can say that no one would be prosecuted for this because it’s the kind of shit…
