I posted a copy of the 3 minute version of my speech from yesterday (with citations) if anyone is interested. Feel free to steal from it if you want! (also, this is literally less than half of the Nazi shit they're currently pulling)

A whole lot of things are wrong with this “it’s a distraction and he’s just trolling” idea. I’m not the first, or the smartest, person to say it’s not a distraction and it’s the whole ballgame. I’ll try to explain some of the reasons why, though.

Especially because she always plays it off like she’s getting real concessions and is a meaningful check on her party’s right wing. Instead, she’s getting empty promises that are promptly broken. She’s either stupid or she’s in on the scheme.

We don’t talk enough about how Trump, Elon, and their crowd act like shitty 13-year olds who were accidentally put in charge of other people.

This is it. D’s won a narrow victory in 2020 (and a big one in 2008) and tried bipartisanship. R’s won a narrow victory in 2024 and said “screw bipartisanship,” while the D’s expect compromise because of the narrowness of the R victory. Enact your agenda when you win. Fight back when you lose.

Fact check: true. Context: McConnell could have prevented this by exercising his leadership role and voting to convict Trump in the second impeachment. There were almost certainly enough R votes who simply followed his lead. McConnell may not WANT fascism, but he’ll do nothing to stop it.

Lee Atwater had a pungent and famous quote about how once conservatives could no longer use the n-word they used things like “states’ rights” to invoke the same spirit. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration any more — if it ever was — to say they use DEI as the n-word.

When Andrew Johnson illegally fired him, Edwin Stanton refused to surrender his office. Not just the metaphorical sense of "office" as in the job, he barricaded himself in the actual physical office and refused to leave for weeks.

There's 3 seconds left on the clock. You're down by one point. Who do you give the basketball to? Lebron James? Steph Curry? Nope. You put it in the hands of 8th Grader Cooper Thorson. He just hit the shot of a lifetime.

It’s disturbing how many people are willing to just do Jim Crow 2: electric boogaloo because some people on the far left are kind of annoying. Like, imagine stripping rights from vast swaths of the population just because someone yelled at you on the internet.

My son has RSV. My wife has a double ear infection. I have some kind of stomach bug that laid me out all day today (probably Norovirus). Let me tell you, this was not an easy day to get through. Caring for ourselves and each other and a toddler all at once was… an ordeal.

The Way Toys Work was my 19th #BookChallenge pick. I bought it when I found out I was going to be a dad. My son isn’t old enough for me to make full use of it yet, but this book not only prepared me to answer toddler questions, it also gives detailed instructions to build the toys yourself.
