@AmericanAir Sorry to complain, but can you stop telling passengers there isn’t any overhead space when there’s plenty for boarding groups 6-8? Especially for those of us with tight connections. #americanair #travel #travelsucks

Wow: A original 1955 warrant for the arrest of Carolyn Bryant Donham, the white woman who accused 14-year-old Emmett Till, was found in the basement of a Mississippi courthouse

“Global food crop yields could fall by a fifth by 2050 due to ground-level ozone pollution and climate change, a new study has found. South Asia is likely to bear the brunt of the impact, producing up to 40 per cent less rice by the end of the century.” https://t.co/QwmZsjT87A

The most frightening aspect of the #January6thHearings is that I don’t know if I’ll have to explain to my children that this was the moment when democracy and rule of law was preserved, or this was the beginning of the end for the American republic.

There are so many smoking guns at the #January6thHearings that the room is filled with smoke.

Our nation just barely survived a treasonous conspiracy by Donald Trump & enabling Republicans to violently overthrow our government on Jan 6 2021.

Something to reflect on over the July 4th holiday as we ponder the importance of upcoming mid-term elections.

The #SupremeCourt decided that 50% of the US population doesn’t have the freedom to make their own family planning decisions. That seems like a massive economic restriction on women. That’s an unnecessary economic handicap if I’ve ever seen one.

[Marketplace @Marketplace]

In addition to the seismic cultural and social effects, there are deep economic consequences to consider.

Conservatives achieve their objectives because they are ruthlessly focused on seizing power & using it.

Democrats don't think about how to attain the power to achieve stated goals & don't even use the powers they already have. That needs to change ASAP:

The Bible is silly. It’s comically fictional. To use it to control people is completely insane.

You don’t like abortion? don’t get an abortion. You don’t like gay marriage? don’t get gay married. Don’t like birth control? Don’t use it. What happened to the freedom republicans keep talking about?

The “good guy” with a gun argument falls flat on its face.

[Saagar Enjeti @esaagar]

I’m sympathetic to anyone who feels this way. But if you do, that’s a decision to make BEFORE YOU BECOME A COP

@skinnylatte 1000% agree. Fast food already sucks in the western world, and compared to the flavors of fast food in S and SE Asia, it sucks even more.
