Bernie cannot come to the cookout. Sorry, not sorry.

Martin Luther King Jr. was many things but he was never a man who was flexible about human rights. He died working for economic and racial justice. He certainly wasn't a man who didn't understand intersectionality even before we had a word for it. The Poor People's Campaign is an intersectional vision.

Bernie Sanders' so-called "revolution" of mostly white people is not any such thing. As I write this, I am confused and insulted that our city and our mayor whom I've supported would bring this man to honor one of the most revered black leaders in our history. We're supposed to believe that Bernie Sanders has insight on the economic legacy and vision of Martin Luther King Jr. when he doesn't even understand the racism of white people and intersectionality?

Most people that voted for Trump were some combination of racist, sexist, xenophobe, homophobe, etc.

If you assume that they all were, you will be correct the vast majority of the time. I am sure there a a few that weren't....somewhere.

Always some suspicious shenanigans with these Repubs.

2 precincts not reporting. Gonna do a just in case hand count and scan on the absentee. Jesus.

We could do like 21 Jump Street and put really young looking cops randomly in schools.

I think this should be given serious consideration.

I don't want to get my hopes up too high, but this time feels different.

These kids are inspirational.

Ban guns. Need meat? Go to the fucking store. Need sport? Play fucking golf.

Stop violating my Constitutional rights.

Women ain't taking shit no more, and it is making a lot of men uncomfortable.

I think its fucking awesome.

I can see the changes in the confidence and attitudes of my two young daughters from even a few years ago. Its a fucking paradigm shift.

CNN spinning poll on who voters blame for shutdown.

Its 21% Trump, 26% GOP Congress and 31% Dems Congress. They are saying that is even blame. That looks like 47% blame GOP, 31% Democrats to me.

Not even at all.
