    When I worked as a janitor, teenagers like Mr. Miller would trash the restroom after I cleaned it. Learned much about class+dignity of work.

    Ronald Reagan, both Presidents Bush, Bill Clinton+Barack Obama--Very different people with one thing in common. The people who respected them most were the people who knew them best+worked with them every day. Here's what President Trump's close advisors have to say about him...

    I just checked with every liberal in America. We're totally fine with ending these subsidies.

    The NFL should no longer be subsidized by any government: local, state, or federal End all of their subsidies

    Tonight's nail-biter provides yet another reminder that the African-American community is a core defender of pluralist democratic values in the United States.

    North Carolina's stated reason for shutting down Sunday voting was that counties with heavy Sunday voting were disproportionately African-American, and that African-Americans tended to be Democrats. pdfserver.amlaw.com/nlj/7-29-16%20…

    Public school is the lowest quality education you could give your child, outside of a straight up neglectful homeschool experience.

    I don't get this. Van drives up. Senior citizen or person with disability experiences warm human connection+a decent meal. That's the result

    Please **do not** wear one of these buttons that says "I'm vaccinated. I'm not Republican," or any variation on such themes. These actively harm the vaccination effort. They undermines culturally-competent efforts to reach vaccine-hesitant communities, and will cost lives.

    Many gunshot wound victims end up on SSI+Medicaid for essential services, and for the rest of their lives face a $2,000 limit on their countable wealth because some deranged individual tried to kill them.

    The President doesn't do any of that. For all his money, power, and supermodel romances, he's not someone I envy for a single second. He seems spiritually empty in some profound and sad way. What does it profit a man to win the whole world if he never locates his own soul.

    Replace Barack Obama with Hillary Clinton or John Edwards. You basically get ACA. ***Replace Harry Reid with Chuck Schumer or Dick Durbin. You basically get ACA. ***Replace Nancy Pelosi with basically anyone else: You probably don’t get ACA.

    Many of us lived through this before, when politicians tried to ban terms like "anal sex," "injection drug use," "harm reduction," "condoms," and "homosexuality" from prevention education messages. Juvenile censorship insulted the intelligence of the American public+cost lives.

    Trump officials are forbidding the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from using 7 words in official docs being prepared for next year’s budget: “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “diversity,” “transgender,” “fetus,” “evidence-based,” “science-based.” washingtonpost.com/national/healt…

    We only have 2,000 years of Jewish history to understand just how horrible this statement is, from a government official no less.
