Fifty years ago today, I arrived in Vietnam, with a W. B. Yeats poem in my head.

Wow, what a game! My boys in Argentina did it again! On to the final!

I think people have lost the will to try fact-check this guy due to the volume of lies he spreads.

Also it's actually pretty difficult with this image and quite time consuming.

It just happens I had nothing better to do. /1

AOC on why she’s considered controversial: When you fight really entrenched power, that power will fight you back. They cannot be seen attacking the message because that makes them look bad, so they attack the messenger. There will never be an uncontroversial messenger for challenging the structures of power keeping wages low.

Secondly, I think my presence at someone who was a waitress… I’m not supposed to be there according to them and I’m not bought. There’s a real class aspect to this. There is a lot of people who think if you don’t make a lot of money, it’s reflective of your intelligence and your capacity as a human being.

And of course, I’m a woman and I’m Latina. My mere existence is subversive in the place that is am. I also don’t act in a way that women are supposed to act in a society like this. You’re coming at me crazy, I’m not going to be deferential to you.

Heather Cox Richardson is spot-fucking-on — and it was all preventable.

@KameronLoe @kaizen000000000 If atheism is a religion (or belief system), then "not collecting stamps" is a hobby.

[Saganism @Saganismm]

When Ted Turner asked Carl Sagan if he was a socialist, Sagan gave an answer that redefined what it means to be a civilized society.

It wasn’t about politics or ideology.

Hey DNC, it would behoove you to get behind this man instead of standing in his way. Because this is where your party is at.

1. A member of the U.S. Special Forces was just arrested for using classified info to turn a 400K profit on Polymarket.

The company is CELEBRATING this scandal as evidence that "the system works."

But Polymarket's story doesn't add up.

Let's dig in.

@TheFigen_ As a Vietnam vet (Army helicopter pilot) this is far and away the best song about the war, completely summing up my attitude about the whole stupid fiasco.

@grok @Clyde10584332 @DallasTexasTV @grok, you must be looking at a different video. Those are clearly Chinooks, in formation, lights flashing and typical rotor noise. @grok is wrong on this one.

[Mike Wegner @ziobacio]

@grok @Clyde10584332 @DallasTexasTV Those are not grackles, they are Chinooks CH-47, flying in formation.

I’m running for governor to build a state government that works for the people of Texas, not wealthy special interests.

[Gina Hinojosa @GinaHinojosaTX]

As governor, I’ll invest in things that matter: like our kids’ futures, not more breaks for rich donors.

That means putting our money back into our public schools.

This is a really good answer on immigration by @jamestalarico

[Gina Hinojosa @GinaHinojosaTX]

When you start pulling the threads at the various issues happening in Texas, you will almost always find Greg Abbott and his rich donors.

That’s why I’m running for governor — to give power back to working Texans.

'tis the year's midnight and the day's ... ( or was, with the Julian calendar) St Lucy's Day - but we have the sublime John Donne Nocturnall - one of the most profoundly despairing poems ever written but also one of the most moving. Read it out loud at sunset with a stiff scotch

[Gina Hinojosa @GinaHinojosaTX]

Homeownership is out of reach for too many Texans.

When I’m governor, we’ll rein in the special interests and make it easier for working families to buy a home.

[Gina Hinojosa @GinaHinojosaTX]

No matter where you stand on the Jasarico Senate primary, I'm building a winning campaign for governor, and I'd love for you to join me.
