Also the true horror: This power is now in the hands of Donald Trump and his legion of Doom.

if what we've seen so far continues trump will use it to spy on celebrities who badmouth him and then leak poo poo about them

louie gomhert, fully nude and mad, grabs the mace of the united states house of representative and begins swinging wildly in the direction of paul ryan. ryan piles up thelast 50 versions of the path to prosperity budget in order to reach higher ground.

Also I just got to this depressing article. Local rights, only when its convenient! Republicans!

quote:

Jefferson County long ago replaced the forced busing of the 1970s with a voluntary approach to integration, offering arts- and science-themed magnet programs to draw students into different parts of town.

The bill would effectively eliminate many of those programs by requiring the district to allow children to attend the school closest to their homes. Such a provision is race-neutral on its face, but the deeply segregated housing patterns in the sprawling county mean that a return to neighborhood schools is likely to concentrate poor and minority students in schools apart from their white, affluent peers.

the white house and paul ryan managed to present a healthcare plan that moderate republicans, freedom caucus insane tea party republicans, every democrat, the AARP, the club for growth, heritage foundation, and americans for prosperity (koch brothers basically) all hate

what do you mean by "organizing efforts?" what kind of organizing do you want? to what end? i mean the dccc has already hired dozens of staff to hit battleground house districts across the country, and left-oriented groups are packing town halls and leading resistance on various issues. so i think things right now are not bad on that front.
