Similar situation in my family: My first cousin is married to my uncle. Uncle by marriage, right?? Or cousin from one side married to an uncle from the other side. Mom's side cousin and Dad's side uncle, for example. ETA: At least, that's what I'm hoping.

Unbelievable. While he attacks Harley Davidson for reacting to his trade war, Trump is going to Wisconsin for groundbreaking at a massive FoxConn factory. You may remember FoxConn, the Taiwanese tech company whose working conditions are so awful that employees in China were jumping to their death.

In case anyone’s still interested in the Red Hen, the owner has, after angry calls and boycott threats, resigned her position as director of the local business association, and has been getting death threats. The restaurant closed for the week and it’s been surrounded by protests all day. This anti LGBTQ one is going on right now. I have a friend there who is absolutely heartbroken. ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180626/081caa4d3a8eb79d181992f01790875b.jpg) A bunch of pro trumpers are across the street.

It's particularly confusing for my own brother who is related by blood to both of these people: Our cousin is his cousin, obviously, and also his aunt.

Well I've got you all beat. My maternal grandparents were first cousins. No bearing around the bush in that one.

I'm my own 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th cousin, thanks to some cousins that married each other way back when. Because of that, technically my mom is my 5th/6th/7th/8th cousin once removed. In college we used to mess with my friends by introducing her as my cousin when she would first meet them.

There's a video of protesters outstanding of Mitch McConnell and Elaine Chao's DC residence today and I have things to say about it.
1. It says a lot about a person when he goes running into the tinted windows Yukon at the first sight of trouble and leaves his or her spouse to stand there arguing with protesters.
2. The right are using this as propaganda exactly as I feared they would.
3. There is deeply racist hatred aimed toward Maxine Waters and it's really upsetting.

Also coal and fossil fuels are a finite, non-renewable resource so....then what? Liberal lies! Fake news! Again with the logic. We’ve discussed this. If your argument is based on logic and facts it is automatically dismissed as false. /sarcasm

Yes. This. All of this. We Have a Crisis of Democracy, Not Manners nyti.ms/2MZPUx1"I don’t blame staff members at the Virginia restaurant, the Red Hen, for not wanting to help Sanders unwind after a hard week of lying to the public about mass child abuse. Particularly when Sanders’s own administration is fighting to let private businesses discriminate against gay people, who, unlike mendacious press secretaries, are a protected class under many civil rights laws." 👏👏👏😂

I've got a wicked head cold, I've had 1/3 of one hot toddy and 1/2 of one benadryll and haven't shut down my devices for the night so ONLY GOOD THINGS are sure to happen now. I'm on DiFi's Twitter reading BS from fascists now.

I see that Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez beat Dem Rep Joe Crawley which was a shocker. (Per Buzzfeed)
I have not heard of either of them. But I do like that someone younger (she’s 28) has a chance. And of course, female.

And of course, female. She is amazing. She is progressive and passionate and the kind of young leadership we need. 6 days before the primary she travelled to a border state to see how she could help. Most politicians would only be worried about their campaign and she knew what was truly important.

You may remember FoxConn, the Taiwanese tech company whose working conditions are so awful that employees in China were jumping to their death. Whats more- the HD workers support 45 and the trade war- even at the cost of their own jobs. Foxconn is the end of my state as I know it. Allready so many DNR "passes" for the damage they plan to do.

Trump uses executive time to insult Maxine and Nancy, and then says he’s not going anywhere, which is a horrifying thought:
