"...they were all propelled by a verb I’d never heard before: “neighboring,” as in, Today I will be neighboring — going out to protect the good people next door or down the block."

Opinion | Why Minnesota Matters More Than Iran for America’s Future

Moms donating their breast milk to strangers, dads taking someone else’s kids to school: Minnesotans showed a basic human impulse to look out for their neighbors.

I swear to God, this jackass must be paid a volume rate per wrong thought.

Putting myself out a limb here but I don’t think either #randaabdelfattah or #thomasfriedman should be silenced. They both bring prospective on a complex issue. Friedman may be less passionate than Abdel-Fattah but that could be put down to personal experience. I think they both have said things that I don’t agree with but like most people, who aren’t evil, they have said many good/important things. I would have liked to have seen both at the #adelaidewritersweek

Opinion | Venezuela, Trump Came to Liberate Your Oil, Not Your People

Trump will soon discover that the only way to revive major American oil investments in Venezuela is to revive Venezuela’s democracy.
