It takes guts to call out bad actors on ‘your’ side of the political aisle. This kind of thing deserves to be commended.
Kudos to the Young Turks, a progressive YouTube channel, that spoke up in defense of Riley Gaines. They called out the violence she encountered at a speech she had previously arranged at a university on the topic of Protecting Women’s Sports.
Even though the Young Turks usually advocate for transgender rights groups, they had the integrity to call out the violence transgender activists perpetrated at this particular event.
I wish both major parties could become more committed to calling out bad actors within their own party. It would probably help mend the political division in this country.
It was the spring of '68 when I was born. There were visible stars in the sky that night, or so I'm told... Some days, I ride my bicycle to the farmer's market, hang my clothes to dry, and sketch or play my guitar into the evening... Other days, I stay indoors, drink too much coffee, eat canned soup, and critique endless reruns of "Law and Order." (It's fun to wonder how all the suspects have such perfect memories as to their whereabouts, or why the longshoreman isn't curious enough to get out of the forklift when confronted by homicide detectives).
Do you have friends? (I have come to be leery of dating anyone who has no friends. These people always seem to have some far-fetched conspiracy theory or weird aversion to sunlight...)
Bonus points to those who...
appreciate a good pun or will give a gratuitous chuckle:)
can find humor in not only the absurd, but esp in the mundane :)
