I planned to make an ice cream to memorialize and celebrate the life of Renee Goode.
But after the murder of Alex Pretti this weekend, I didn't have it within me to make ice cream.
It's clear that the murders of Renee and Alex AND the government's lies were not a mistake, but standard operating procedure.
ICE must be defunded and disbanded.

@TSpencerNairn @ItsReallyAmber I appreciate the boos. We deserve them for reelecting that fool.

@ItsReallyAmber To clarify I’m cool w booing. It’s more re making some sort of statement rather than the status quo.

I promise you by now the singer, regardless of nationality, knows that people are booing the anthem/Trump and not them.
Such a tone deaf post, especially after what ICE did AGAIN in Minnesota

Dear Canadians. I know that we are a kind and polite nation - and booing the US anthem in Canadian venues can often feel disrespectful to the (what is often) canadian singer. But you can also choose not to stand. A full stadium quietly seated is a far more powerful message.

Forget ‘Follow your passion’. At the School for Moral Ambition we say: Follow the Gandalf 🧙
Gandalf never asked Frodo about his passions. He said: hey, there’s a world-sized problem and you’re uniquely positioned to help fix it.
Which leaves us with the real question: Which sizable, solvable, sorely overlooked problem might you be the unlikely hero for?

@ziplamak There are cheap usb cassette players ($20-$30) on amazon that you can transfer the audio to mp3s.

I have some cassette tapes onto which my mom's handwriting indicates "Grant reading," & I honestly don't know how to listen to them for fear I'll ruin them. Grant learned to read at an alarmingly early age

To be clear, a TV commercial is about to cost American consumers about $50B because he’s mad.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump is calling Reagan’s words in this video “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad. Watch this clip and read the full transcript:
Throughout the world, there's a growing realization that the way to prosperity for all nations is rejecting protectionist legislation and promoting fair and free competition. Now, there are sound historical reasons for this. For those of us who lived through the Great Depression, the memory of the suffering it caused is deep and searing. And today, many economic analysts and historians argue that high tariff legislation passed back in that period, called the Smoot-Hawley tariff, greatly deepened the depression and prevented economic recovery.
You see, at first when someone says, let's impose tariffs on foreign imports, it looks like they're doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products and jobs. And sometimes for a short while, it works, but only for a short time. What eventually occurs is, first, homegrown industries start relying on government protection in the form of high tariffs. They stop competing and stop making the innovative management and technological changes they need to succeed in world markets.
And then, while all this is going on, something even worse occurs. High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars. The result is more and more tariffs, higher and higher trade barriers, and less and less competition. So soon, because of the prices made artificially high by tariffs that subsidize inefficiency and poor management, people stop buying.
Then the worst happens. Markets shrink and collapse, businesses and industry shut down, and millions of people lose their jobs. The memory of all this occurring back in the 30s made me determined when I came to Washington to spare the American people the protectionist legislation that destroys prosperity. Now, it hasn't always been easy. There are those in the Congress, just as there were back in the 30s, who want to go for the quick political advantage, who risk America's prosperity for the sake of a short-term appeal to some special interest group, who forget that more than 5 million American jobs are directly tied to the foreign export business, and additional millions are tied to imports.
Well, I've never forgotten those jobs. And on trade issues, by and large, we've done well.

If Joffrey Baratheon grew up to be an American president, this is pretty much what it would look like.
