Outrageous! Aside from the egregious violation of constitutional and human rights, it is absurd that the government is spending so much time, effort, and money to persecute an individual of Khalil’s status and stature. They are fucking crazy and fascists. Evil lunacy.

Do they know the history of the party? Maybe they can undo some of the damage wrought by previous progressive Dems: social security, civil rights for ALL, unionization, Medicare, Medicaid. Health care, etc. would never vote for a pol who used them!

I enjoy this movie a lot. Max Von Sydow is, as usual, terrific. It always has annoyed/bothered me that the book on which it is based is titled Six Days of the Condor.

I am embarrassed to admit that we have 5 large screen TVs in our house. I am proud to say not one of them will ever again show a Disney or an ABC broadcast or stream. We also just cancelled Hulu.

Adding to the above, she said C Kirk was challenging students and we need more like him. I guess this is anticipatory cowardice and capitulation.

Strange self-serving op-ed in NYT by pres of Barnard college. Kirk was killed by a person unaffiliated with the college where he was speaking. Presumably very receptive very conservative very white audience. College culture of closed minded (implied leftist) not the cause.

The country is one step away from fascist authoritarianism and the demise of the Great American Experiment. Innocent Ukrainians are killed daily by trumps buddy. Palestinians are being eliminated through genocide. My Keurig coffee maker just broke.

I’ve been a registered progressive Democrat for 50 years. All my friends, neighbors, colleagues are progressive Democrats. Not one cared enough about C. Kirk to wish him harm.

Wasn’t he “attacked” by his disgruntled next door neighbor over some yard issue? Doesn’t count, just as Trump says domestic abuse doesn’t count.

Lead article in digital NYT is 16 paragraphs presenting trump’s claims of vast network of radical left terrorists destroying the country; they will destroy all those orgs and people. Buried in a middle paragraph is the Times balanced approach “-without presenting evidence the network existed.”

I am blessed to be one of the Almighty’s womb and fetus inspectors (we keep it quiet). I met Charlie when he was an embryo, then a fetus, then a whole baby. We were soulmates: two eyes, skin, numerous fingers. I watched over him ever since. But sometimes, even we have to pee.

Trump is not against violence toward his supporters. He champions it as a calm to arms. It is a very useful tool.

Actually, Rubio/Trump won. My sources tell me it was a stratagem to bolster the airline and hospitality industries. The collateral benefit will be the State department’s decree to disallow the return of foreign diplomats to the US. Kushners to buy abandoned apartments at discount.
