I am actually rather incensed today that those assholes traveling to Israel to hold bibi’s hand are using our hard earned money to do so. They all should be in jail, and not a fancy 1st class jail for rich criminals, but a nasty, dirty one, where they have to do manual labor, like really. They all sicken me. BTW, I fixed my phone… more on the story in a minute, I need to catch up with y’all.
Philadelphia, PA (March 31, 2025) – This week, following a long court battle, SEPTA will begin running the latest in a nation-wide series of shockingly bigoted anti-Islam ad campaigns paid for by the far-right American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI). The ads, which SEPTA initially rejected as defamatory, suggest that Muslims are Nazis and that anti-Semitism is inherent to Islamic theology. The Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled the sponsoring organization a “hate group” and its founder, Pamela Geller, was identified by the Center for American Progress (CAP) as among the ringleaders of an “Islamophobia network” of right-wing funders and activists working to foment irrational hatred of Muslims across the country.
Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) - Philadelphia stands in steadfast opposition to this dangerous wave of hate speech, as have JVP chapters across the country when AFDI ads have appeared in cities like New York, San Francisco, Boston, Chicago, and Seattle.

pretty weak. John F. Kennedy met with Russian leaders does that make him a communist? Former president Hoover met with Hitler, does that make him a Nazi?
BREAKING NEWS: If you go to Google Maps today, you can play PacMan.
BREAKING NEWS: I have no freaking clue how to play PacMan. I got killed over and over again before I realized the yellow blob with the mouth is PacMan. *Sigh*
I stopped playing video games (except for Hearts and Free Cell on XP — Microsoft killed those two games when they killed XP) after pong. :( have no idea how to play any PC games except for card games.
I was so cool that I had an Atari 2600 when it first came out. Yep, I was a computer nerd at an early age. (Even read magazines which showed how to hack the Atari games. Sighs. Good memories.)
In LL news, I’m running my temporary library BY MYSELF this week. The assistant went on vacation, so I’m the only full timer. Which means I can’t leave the building. Which means I get to send my page to pick me up lunch, and get paid overtime. Wheeeee.
Hopefully I’ll get back to writing when I get back home next week. I thought this working vacation would be productive in that area, but I’ve found that I enjoy eating out and drinking on my per diem too much.
Besides, you’re on Catalina island……”twenty-four miles across the sea, Santa Catalina is awaiting for me…Santa Catalina, the island of romance, romance…….” I remember that song well!!!!
Nice working/vacation on Catalina Island and living on per diem. Is the misses with you too or stayed home with Stewie? I love Catalina Island especially when the weather is nice. I have not been there in almost 20 years. The last time I took the boat there was in 1996.
Last week when President Obama sat down for a conversation with David Simon, I KNEW he was up to something. Today we got the first inklings of what that is:
This allows those incarcerated to take ownership of their present and future situation.
Thanks President Obama!
I had a feeling something like this was coming down the pike, when AG Holder was speaking at the Selma Sunday Church Service and he & MLKIII were talking about 2nd chances & voting rights for people who have served their time, etc.
Step by step, our President BO does the work for which he signed up, regardless of what others are not doing.
Smartypants keeps a sharp eye on his actions; from way back she has done a great job highlighting his, AND the DoJ’s efforts and accomplishments. She was the one who first got me keeping an eye on AG Holder.
Yes you did, vcp! I saw the conversation with David Simon last week and to be honest I didn’t think anything about it, I just thought that it was an average conversation with the President. I should have know that something was afoot. I always wanted to use “afoot” in a sentence.
:grin::grin: The words here are from Smartypants’ post, Don - *I* never ‘called’ anything (or know when anything is ‘afoot’ ;) ) though I did enjoy the interview when I saw it.
You’re the TODville commenter who probably has the most insight on the David Simon interview and today’s pardons.
Would love to see your comments (on another thread, this one has about 150 as I type) — I’ve missed some threads, so you may have already done so.
What drives me nuts is that MSM act like star-struck teenagers when it comes to anything Hollywood, yet apparently don’t bother to digest and analyze what was said in last week’s interview — they basically said OMG, it’s David Simon, but didn’t bother to consider how out of whack our prison system is, compared to other countries.
“Paul in Romans 14 is especially germane to this discussion:
Then let us no more pass judgment on one another, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother. I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but it is unclean for any one who thinks it unclean.”
I have the Obama family portrait that the gentleman painted. It sits on my mantle along with my brother and his family’s portrait. When new people come into my home they know I am an unapologetic PBO supporter.
I still have my Obama family xmas cards. Always one of my favorite things to get in the mail. That picture/paiting, is on my fridge! along with an “I ‘heart’ Obamacare” sticker!
If you aren’t Pro Obama, you won’t last long in my house.
I don’t feel sorry for IN-tolorana. Those who stayed home got what they voted for. I was listening to Thom Hartman and he was reading off all the things the majority of the people including Repubicans wants which is in the Democratic Party’s platform - raising taxes on the rich, extending medicare, strengthening social security, improving public schools, increasing the minimum wage, etc. However Republicans will vote against their own best interest for the perceived notion that the Dems are more for minorities, against the Bible, for more abortion, and wants to weaken their right to own any gun they want.
Indeed they should Jeff - but business thinks this is just the “tea party” and it will pass. Why people don’t believe that the GOP has become the tea party is beyond sanity.
What pisses me off the most is that the citizens of Indiana and Florida knew goddamn well what they were getting when they voted for their Governors, and now they want to bitch and moan about these Governors and their ass backwards policies. Motherfuckers act like they never heard the story of the scorpion and the frog.
Actually most of the outcry is coming from companies that do business in IN. They are afraid of how it will impact their dollar.
Also, social media is playing a tremendous role in forcing the MSM to cover this story. Arkansas passed the exact same law today but because the focus is on IN you will barely hear a peep about it when you turn on your news.
Thank goodness for Twitter, Facebook, Progressive sites and Blogs. We force the media to cover the issues that matter to us!
There was a large rally in the state last weekend but other than people being embarrassed I don’t sense a real outcry from the citizens of that state. I could be wrong and this is just my opinion. :)
A lot of people in the media miss a story like this because they’re lazy. I’ve seen a couple of articles about the President’s recent commutations and they all zero in on a narrative that was started a long time ago about him being stingy with clemency. All that was required to adopt that narrative was counting.
But if you read the President and Attorney General’s comments when they kicked off the Clemency Initiative, you knew what had held things up in the beginning and what they were doing to change the process. It was inevitable that - before his second term was over - there were going to be some big announcements. Furthermore, if you pay attention to what the White House said about this announcement, you know there are more to come.
I get the sense Priebus (if he’s really the author - they set the page up as if the byline was Hillary’s) had this written an ready to go. And no, I didn’t read it - there’s just so much negativity/doom and gloom a body can take before it blocks it out.
A delay in an Iran nuclear treaty is a failure of the Clinton-Obama foreign policy disaster: http://t.co/O5OpnS1VEp
These Repubs really don’t know what to do with peace. I mean, look at how they’ve approached the O Admin - there’s never been a moment when they haven’t been trying to escalate a situation.
I just watch Steel on Hardball, and you are so right Don about him carrying the GOP water, even though they show him no respect and they kick his black behind to the curve. He still sing and dance for them.
They probably make it worth his while financially, Annieb. Let’s face it, he’s unlikely to get as much show time in any other party or group as he’s clearly not all that smart.
You got the sense too that he, or whoever, had written this and was awaiting his moment to ‘drop’ it into the global dialogue? They are so pathetically inept.
JOBoomr. hahahahahahahahaha
I read “Shut up, you crazy ass fool” and I tell you I heard Esther’s voice from Sanford and Son when Esther got so disgusted at Fred and tell him “shut up, you fish eyed fool.”

LOL. Don’t know how to play either but sounds like fun.
Oh, you youngster.
Might be just a different POV.
I stopped playing video games (except for Hearts and Free Cell on XP — Microsoft killed those two games when they killed XP) after pong. :( have no idea how to play any PC games except for card games.
I was so cool that I had an Atari 2600 when it first came out. Yep, I was a computer nerd at an early age. (Even read magazines which showed how to hack the Atari games. Sighs. Good memories.)

And do a far better job than Knoller is doing… *double sigh*

In LL news, I’m running my temporary library BY MYSELF this week. The assistant went on vacation, so I’m the only full timer. Which means I can’t leave the building. Which means I get to send my page to pick me up lunch, and get paid overtime. Wheeeee.
Hopefully I’ll get back to writing when I get back home next week. I thought this working vacation would be productive in that area, but I’ve found that I enjoy eating out and drinking on my per diem too much.
Besides, you’re on Catalina island……”twenty-four miles across the sea, Santa Catalina is awaiting for me…Santa Catalina, the island of romance, romance…….” I remember that song well!!!!
My memory may be playing tricks…..was it twenty-six miles….?
Yep, 26.
Nice working/vacation on Catalina Island and living on per diem. Is the misses with you too or stayed home with Stewie? I love Catalina Island especially when the weather is nice. I have not been there in almost 20 years. The last time I took the boat there was in 1996.

I’m really trying to feel bad for Indiana.
They elected the nutjobs.
Not working though, is it, Jeff? Not for me either.
I don’t feel sorry for IN-tolorana. Those who stayed home got what they voted for.

Excellent comment jojo! With your permission I’d like to use it in a tweet.

Well said jojo!
Thanks Donna for tweeting jojo’s comment :-)
“Don’t cry for me, Indiana…………”
I just started singing that in my head before I saw your comment, after seeing LL’s tweet! Ha.
Great minds, job!!!!
if these businesses feel so strongly maybe they should send more money to democrats and non to the republicans.
Indeed they should Jeff - but business thinks this is just the “tea party” and it will pass. Why people don’t believe that the GOP has become the tea party is beyond sanity.

Bibi needs to stop putting out these false reports….they won’t work….
I wonder if Boehner and McConnell are holding him and rocking him right now.

God forbid that there’s a delay, we wouldn’t want peace to break out.

And Micheal Steel still carries the GOP water, he acts as though they’re going to give him a scooby snack if he attacks President Obama.
