Democracy is like the McRib. It's here now, and it will be around for a little bit longer, so enjoy it while you can.

Ann, immigrants have founded more than half of America's companies valued at more than $1B (319/582), and Indians have founded more of those companies (66/319). #facts #USA

Curious: How many of these businesses did Indians create, as opposed to slide in as a non-white (YAY!) CEO?
(I say again: Black people, all the good affirmative action jobs are being taken by Indians.) twitter.com/nihalmehta/sta…

I supported a family and hopefully, some of you can join me in doing that. And those of you who don’t have the resources to support a family might be able to chip something in. Every little bit helps.

I am getting a crash course on the unfairness of our system these past few days. Going to get myself properly educated on the issue and try an impact local change.

This young boy is one of my son’s best friends.
What was a minor incident between teenagers (and should have been handled that way) turned into criminal charges once our “justice” system got involved.
Please help the family mount proper legal defense

Ok here we go.
Look at the electoral maps by county for the last few decades of US presidential elections. You’ll notice that the South goes almost uniformly Republican red every time.
Duh.
But if you look closer, there’s something else there ...

You admitted in the settlement that your Foundation took $2.8mil from a veterans group fundraiser in Iowa and gave it to your campaign to use just days before the Iowa primary. You stole money from vets to fund your campaign. You are a disgrace and a criminal.

We should ban prescription drug ads on TV. Virtually no other developed countries allow them. They do nothing to make us healthier and stronger. All they do is make the drug companies more money by stimulating demand.

BREAKING: We’ve secured a court order forcing President Trump to pay $2M in damages after admitting to illegally using the Trump Foundation to help him intervene in the 2016 presidential election and further his own political interests.
No one is above the law.

Absolutely incredible to watch this video be pinged around the world. In the last 48 hours, it's seemingly gone everywhere from the UK to Pakistan, and has even gone viral in Lebanon - becoming another tool for protestors to push for change

I get on a bus with Ash. It's costume day at school. He's a Zombie. He sees the bus driver & begins to roar.
Me: Sorry about bringing a terrifying zombie onto your bus.
Bus driver: That's all right. I've got two little monsters of my own at home.
And a story started in my head

A final note. This isn’t about free expression. This is about paying for reach. And paying to increase the reach of political speech has significant ramifications that today’s democratic infrastructure may not be prepared to handle. It’s worth stepping back in order to address.

Obama says call-out culture is excessive, good people have flaws and the world is full of ambiguities. Also says that real change will take place through something other than being as judgmental as possible. He is right on all counts.

Why should taxpayers foot the bill for Ivanka's and Jared's 10th anniversary party with friends at Camp David? Even if they had been appointed and then confirmed by the Senate, they wouldn't have the right. Oh, I forgot. Trump has turned the presidency into royalty.

Listening to comments in Minneapolis is simply nauseating. The blatant bigotry and racism as so called Republicans cheer and GOP officeholders are silent, puts a stench and stigma on everyone registered as a Republican. People like me are at a tipping point.

Can you imagine being Somali-American and watching this? This is the kind of hate rally seen in authoritarian and fascist countries.
We Jews have seen this before, as have countless other minorities. This is the powerful hurting the vulnerable to empower themselves.

If one weighs the benefits of having millions of American children engage in active shooter drills vs. the anxiety, mistrust, questioning and lack of control being instilled in generations of American children, I would lean toward not having the drills.

It says something about our time, that the man who endorsed on Who Is America arming 4 year olds with machine guns, mortars and grenades, is now pitching himself as the sensible alternative to Trump - and not a single person can dispute it.
