I CAN. NOT. WAIT. WIGSTOCK IS BACK.

If we were the only—or even the first—ones to report on this, you’d have a point (and consequently, be less at risk of sounding racist in your criticism). https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/wreck-it-ralph-tiana-white-wash_us_5b719a80e4b0bdd0620b4444

It seems a little suspicious but I’ve also heard that he’s not the nicest dude in person, so it makes me a bit worried. 

There’s no evidence that minimum wage changes drive automation trends long term in any meaningful way.

A federal minimum wage is a floor, not a ceiling. States and municipalities can adjust from there.

I am so proud of my state for nominating Ilhan Omar, she is fantastic...but we need to talk about Keith Ellison...

I can only imagine the bullshit those women will get for their gender, race and religion from men in the Congress. Mainly from Republicans, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some male Democrats say some stupid crap too.

Gee, it’s almost like he’s not playing multi-dimensional chess, but that he’s a thin-skinned little narcissist with terrible impulse control.

Seeing Seth Abramson “distinguish” himself as a Russia conspiracy guy has been hilarious, because prior to this he was noted (and sometimes criticized) in the creative writing community for putting together his own alternative rankings of MFA programs. It’s weird seeing a poet guy, who once lived on MFA blogs I looked…

No, sir. I don’t like it.

2018 feels like

I heard about Marissa. I didn’t know that she successfully appealed. Not that she’s any better off for it. She basically went from the being in the pen to being in debtor’s prison. If I added that up right, she’s paying the state about $1420/month, and for what? This has to qualify as some kind of cruel and unusual…

I respect where he’s coming from but he shouldn’t have put that out there for two reasons:

...I know this is a stand-your-ground state...

Good list.

1) I hope he’s punished monetarily
