A race decided by less than 0.5 percent of votes cast: had it gone the other direction, the headlines would be about the unstoppable force of progressive candidates.
everybody keeps acting like I'm being melodramatic when I refer to these as concentration camps but what the hell else would you call where we've put her and her family?

Petting the cat on my lap and singing to it “~Children died, the days grew cold, a piece of bread could buy a bag of gold. I wish we’d all been ready~”. A real ear worm!
