In addition to not hearing anything, out of habit I have the urge to forward it to nearer the end to see the conclusion,
Eldest, that's what I am...Tom remembers the first raindrop and the first acorn...he knew the dark under the stars when it was fearless — before the Dark Lord came from Outside..

You know, now that they've manage to whine enough to end her filibuster and instead debating whether or not that was bullshit, can she get a taco and a pee break?
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Republican. Moderate.

Is that even allowed?

Sup. I heard there was a calling.
Anyways, I very much appreciate the move by Davis and her supporters. It's pretty jarring to see how ridiculously reactionary some in Texas are, though. Whoever yelled abortion is genocide clearly has no idea what those words actually mean.

I really wanted her to do an epic mic drop and throw up some gang signs, then pull a donut out of her cleavage myself.

T minus 30!
I support peace in Israel and Palestine. The governments and people in power on all sides are an absolute disgrace, and their unwillingness to pursue peace is a disservice to the people they are meant to be serving. The status quo is not simply untenable; it is unquestionably unacceptable.

I kind of expect that, but what bothers me is how the same voices that were cheering a Ran Paul filibuster for it's bravado (and I don't actually mean on NSG, I mean elsewhere on the interwebs) are either silent on this, or condemnatory.

That's not been in evidence much, here - every so often, NSG replenishes my faith in humanity. Just a little.

I love Hegar's current speech.

I saw a device that braced the legs and back with metal. She would have needed slacks to make it work though.
