You’re offered so much, but you’re frightened to take it. Husband, Dad, Grandpa, musician, retired college financial aid professional, long suffering Mets/Jets fan. Pro democracy, pro justice. Jersey since birth.
Two differences; 1) The Central Park Five were innocent and the Cornell frat rapists are guilty. 2) The Central Park Five were black and brown while the Cornell sex traffickers are white. ConDon T Rump called for the execution of the Central Park Five while wishing the Cornell frat rapists well.
In the 60’s, I remember anti-smoking commercials from the American Cancer Society on the radio. Scared the shit out of me, perhaps because my parents hadn’t quit smoking yet and I was afraid what could happen to them.

Since this summer, ICE has been arresting asylum applicants at airports. Many came legally, then applied for asylum. They have been here for years just stuck in a massive line, working and paying taxes while they wait. No prior admin would have arrested them. Their “overstay” is due to DHS delay.
From the #fridgemagnet collection, at a stop once in Lowell, Massachusetts we found them celebrating their most famous native, Jack Kerouac. He’s also to this day Columbia University’s most famous football player.

It’s interesting how the standard bearer for the party whose message used to be “Democrats suck because they just buy votes by giving people free stuff” has decided the closing message for the midterms will just be “how many more checks do we have to send you in order to earn your vote?”
Dan Diamond@ddiamond.bsky.social · yesterdayNew: Trump’s abrupt announcement to send $90 payments to seniors by dipping into a Medicare fund has rattled Capitol Hill. One GOP aide told WaPo that lawmakers had planned to use the money to offset funding for community health centers, diabetes programs and other initiatives.
#MusicChallenge #ArtistFaveNonAlbumSingles 2. If a non-LP single was later added to the US album (or subsequent expanded versions), I’m still counting it as a non-album single. Like this one. youtu.be/hnpILIIo9ek?...

Tucker Carlson is a sick Nazi fuck. Prove me wrong.
The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 3d agoTucker: “I never understood why 🇬🇧 fought World War 2?” 😕 Rees-Mogg: “It was good vs. evil…We did the right thing…” Tucker: “Has 🇬🇧 benefitted?” RM: “We defeated Hitler… We’d all be speaking German…” Tucker: “Who cares?” 🤔
Is there *anything* more Donald Trump than sticking up for men who drug and gang rape women *solely* because he's still angry that the Special Prosecutor in their case successfully found him to be a felon many times over?
Trump could nominate the worst person with a law degree in America and this Republican senate will confirm that person. That includes Susan Collins, who always confirms Trump’s justices. The only chance you have to keep that person off the court is to elect Democratic senators.
When a rapist sticks up for other rapists it's called a professional courtesy.
@emmiedoodle.bsky.social · 3d agoUnfortunately, as expected... Defending the men in the Cornell gang rape case. He “feels bad” for them and they won't get a “fair shake.”

Drove through the #NJ7 town where #TomKeanJr lives this morning. We saw 23 lawn signs for @rebeccabennettforcongress.com and a grand total of zero for Kean. In his hometown. #VoteBlue and get no-show nepo baby MAGA Kean out of Congress for good.
If you were looking for a job and then you found a job, then why are you saying heaven knows you’re miserable now? Do you hate working?
What would it be like if conservatives were as outraged about a college student being gang raped by frat bros as they are about a college swimmer being tied for 5th place by a trans woman in one event at one swim meet instead of having 5th place all to herself?
NCAA athletes received over $2.35B in revenue sharing and NIL deals in the 25/26 academic year. They have classmates who can’t afford to eat, sleep on friends’ sofas, and start gofundme pages and go into debt to pay their tuition and living expenses. Make it make sense.
When I was a kid I remember #Rangers goalie Eddie Giacomin coming very close to scoring, which I don’t think had ever been done in NHL history at the time. Shesterkin doing it last night is cool. Thanks to Comcast’s longtime territorial pissing war with MSG, I couldn’t see it though.
Here’s another from our #fridgemagnet collection. On a trip to Alaska we saw a few bears, but always in the best way to see them; while in a vehicle.
At least 56 people have died in ICE custody during Trump’s second term. According to ICE’s internal reviews, detention staff did not provide sufficient medical care to at least six of those detainees. ICE has now taken down those reviews from its website. What other cruelty is ICE trying to hide?
ICE Deleted Reviews for Deaths in Custody That Cited Shoddy Medical Care
Three-quarters of ICE’s own 2025 death reviews, briefly posted online, raised substandard and “inappropriate” care of il
