Spend your life-fighting ignorance, superstition, and bigotry. Tend towards catastrophic thinking, but will enjoy the episodes of joy when they happen.

I was born in a refugee camp. People in refugee camps are not there by choice, they are in desperate circumstances, many of them are children, and they are defenseless and vulnerable. Refugee camps should never be a target under any circumstances.

Arguing about what is and is not collective punishment, what is and is not a civilian casualty at this time, is the moral equivalent of scholars in the Middle Ages arguing about how many angels can fit on a needlepoint. PEOPLE ARE BEING MASSACRED, no end in site and dire consequences.

@jkfecke Pence was Trump boot licking on CNN

931,519 Americans have died, and 98,116,769 more cases have been reported since Trump promised he'd "immediately" sign an "order" to give out the miracle cure he got at Walter Reed, for free.

He promised it, and then he just walked away. https://nitter.net/realDonaldTrump/status/1314252606110412806

@MisuseCase my anxious daughter has three clubs now on the car.
She now has three clubs on it. She needs a police report to get insurance approval; getting a Kia dealer will take weeks. This will be a massive class action.
My daughter's Kia car was stolen last Friday; today, Berkeley police informed her they caught the perpetrator. Seems odd how naive some of the perpetrators are, they caught him because he parked the car in front of a house with a Ring/Blink whatever camera. They have not caught on as to how many cameras are out there and they act like they are free to roam.
