Among those arrested in Atlanta today were Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University. You can hear her ask the PhD student taking the video:

“Can you call the Philosophy Department office and tell them I’ve been arrested?...I’m Noelle McAfee, I’m Chair of the Philosophy Department”

This is one of the tables at a restaurant at Disney-MGM studios. There were several of these retro kitchen themed dining areas, and the servers acted as Mom or Dad, and would scold you if you didn’t eat your vegetables. It was a really fun place to eat and the food was all American mid century fare.

‘The grave of the Russian composer Alfred Schnittke in Novodevichye Cemetery in Moscow is surmounted by a stone on which is engraved a rest beneath a fermata with a triple forte noted at the bottom: A very, very loud extended silence.’

- John Biguenet, Silence (London: Bloomsbury, 2015), p.49.

The Right Wing has no principles. They have rules for others and none for themselves.

These same Right Wingers compared the murderous Jan 6 insurrection mobs to a 'normal tourist visits'.

Their opinions mean zero.

My lawyers told me that I need to shut up and stop violating my gag orders, so I paid myself $130,000 and signed an NDA to keep myself quiet.

Israel has deployed auto-firing quadcopters that emit the sounds of crying babies.

There is no possible reality where this is in any way capable of being passed off as self-defense. It was never self-defense. It is, and always has been, a genocide.

Crying babies. Crying babies. This is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, meant to draw out and kill civilians while also making it far more difficult to locate and aid children who are trapped or alone.

If you have money to spare, please consider donating to some of the fundraisers on Operation Olive Branch to help people escape this genocide.

End the occupation. Free Palestine.

Killing children in a playground is a clear sign that the dehumanization of Palestinians is seen as an opportunity, not a crime.

Horrifying but probably true.

No way the death toll is still 30,000 or even 40, 000. That they killed most of the people doing the counting factors in. And I’m sure that was intentional too.

“The Speaker of the House in 1864 was a fellow by the name of William Claude Jones who went by the name Claude.

His pursuit of nobility began with the marriage to Sarah Freeman, who bore him two children in the 1840s.

His next wife was a girl named Maria del Refugio, who was 12 years old. And according to the Arizona historian, the Journal of Arizona History, he had abducted this 12-year-old that he married as his second wife. And then he moved to Arizona.

He then landed his third wife, Caroline Stevens, who was 15 at the time. At that point in time, he was 50 years old and marrying a 15-year-old. They were only married for a year, though, because in 1885, the historian writes, quote, Jones left Caroline.

She never saw or heard from him again.

Next year, 1868, a local girl named MaeMae was pregnant with his child. She was 14, so they got married after the birth, apparently, and had several children together until she died in 1881 at the ripe old age of 28.

As the Washington Post notes, in 1864, he was elected Speaker of the House, and it was that legislature, the one Jones presided over in 1864, after he had already abandoned his first wife, married a 12-year-old, and was just weeks away from marrying a 15-year-old, although still a few years away from marrying a 14-year-old, it was that legislature that passed the law that said every person who shall administer or caused to be administered any, basically an abortion, shall be sent to prison for not less than two years, nor more than five years. William Claude James.

Yep, that's the guy.

THAT’S the guy Republicans are celebrating in Arizona right now.”

How do we teach Republicans this. It is not a hard concept.
