"A friend's chicken needs a hairband for its Chicken-Fro..."

Remember, the Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers.

It started with politicians dividing the people with “us vs. them”.

It started with intolerance and hate speech.

It started when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye.

Remember.

I have my weekend post ready. I always put it here first. The first few people will get that error. Just wait a minute and try again.

I plan to demonstrate that any democratic government—by its very nature and under its own terms—will have a dangerous anti-democratic opposition.

The opposition can be blunted and, with constant work, can be prevented from weakening or toppling the democratic institutions but . . .

I married my best friend. My wife is going to be pissed.

Seems like big news that the only accomplishment of the party that calls everyone “groomers” is deposing a Speaker to prevent an ethics investigation into a Republican accused of statutory rape.

For two years, the Biden administration led an international coalition to provide military aid to Ukraine. Majorities in the U.S. and in Congress continue to support Ukraine. Now, a minority of Republicans are preparing to cut it all off.
