So 559 pages and 251 accounts have been thrown off the Facebook platform, one of which was not the Proud Boys by the way. Collaborating with China to provide censorship on the platform should have been a big hint this was coming. Fine, let FB become the home of the right-wing.
It's impossible to say exactly how much drugs the cartels are smuggling into the U.S., but drug seizures are a good proxy.

Just discovered this live stream on the Real News. I'm sure it will be available later as well, but if any of you have an interest today.

here's the schedule...
Metoo is fine as far as it goes, but it doesn't truly "get down/to what is really wrong," as Van Morrison would say. Which is that boys just don't know how to behave. At all.
I'm not talking here about actual criminal animals like The Hairball or The Clenis or Burnt Kadaver, who will physically hurl their bulbous blubbery forms on women who don't want them. But instead the general mooncalf run-of-the-mill boy, who likes a woman, who doesn't like him back, but refuses to accept that Reality, even when it is delivered in skywriting.
A problem of the women is that boys don't know how to take "no" for an answer. Women must needs develop and deploy a thousand and one ways to signal and say I'm just not into you, but the boys so often remain inert, thick as a brick, failing to get the message. Even when a woman goes to Defcon 1, and shouts "NO! GO AWAY!" straight into a boy face, too often the boy decides this declaration is operative only in that moment, and so he is free to press again his unwanted suit, come dawn the next morn.
Weekends don’t count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless.

Since the 1980's the NFL has blackmailed cities into giving them tax breaks, guaranteed attendance contracts, and public-financed stadiums.
They could do this because they could always move to another city and find a ready fan base. Always.
I found this. It’s multiple stories and they’ll lighten the load on your mind and your heart. ENJOY!
I certainly did. Old cynic that I am even I shed a tear (or two).
