Obviously the best version was the Miles O’Keefe classic, but the recent one was pretty awesome and noted that most of the year’s adventure was spent avoiding work.

In case Trump didn’t make it clear when he struck antiabortion language from the GOO platform and told voters he supported abortion rights… this is not a prolife administration

For various reasons, I have seen #TomStoppard’s “Arcadia” three times - in Atlanta, Montgomery and DC. Rest in peace Tom. The theatre will miss your wit and erudition.

Over the past few days, I’ve been reading BREAKING THE SILENCE: ANTHOLOGY OF LIBERIAN POETRY, edited by @PatriciaJabbeh. Other than her, I’ve heard of none of the poets therein. I wanted to share this poem by Edwin Barclay, former president of Liberia. It’s a banger.

Or you could follow the example of Clement Attlee’s 1945 Labour government and build a million houses and give everyone free healthcare.
If people are turning to socialism because they blame capitalism for rising healthcare and housing costs, they should take a look at how overregulated those sectors are

"The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and that more than 400,000 U.S. troops died fighting against in World War II, as a hate symbol," https://t.co/jGVKAuVRNm
