very much enjoying Tim Kaine’s lil smirk up top there
Can confirm the indiscriminate use of flashbangs; I was about 100 feet away from them* when they were going off and those things are fucking loud. The police would throw them down and then rush forward at the same time, grabbing anyone who was too stunned to back away.
What say you, cheerleaders?
Part of the reason that I decided to go to law school at the age of 40 is that I was tired of working in a healthcare system that is broken and that is not serving the needs of patients or providers as well as it could be. My rationale for giving up a lucrative career as a nurse and as an insurance company executive…
One site I really liked was swingleft.org. I live in DC, so not only are we solidly blue, but we don’t really have any power on a national level.

Saw this on Instagram:
Another woke little dude. Saw this on twitter.
OMG you missed the cutest woke man there.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas...
