I used to think that when global warming truly began to bite, deniers would face reality & we could act. Now I think it's more likely it will lead to a kind of fascism that will respond to global warming by, like, executing everyone who says global warming is real.

A virus came along & killed 10s of millions of Americans & the social consensus is that we made too big a deal out of it. Adjust your climate hopes accordingly.

One of the things I learned going deep into contemporaneous commentary from Confederates was that they viewed the end of slavery as apocalyptic. They were extremely willing to die rather than live without it, and yet they also were aggrieved at the Union making them do so.

Harvard Law Black enrollment dropped by more than 50% since SCOTUS banned affirmative action last year. Just 19 first-year Black students this fall, the lowest number since the 1960s. Meanwhile, Legacy Admissions—in which 75% of white students admitted are not academically qualified—stays in tact.

I'm not sure how much sense it makes for Democrats to continue to bail out Republican majorities to keep the government functioning, making the Republican majorities appear competent

Twitter is extremely creepy these days because 90% of the responses are bots and it’s not exactly clear why. Usually it’s not even political, it’s not selling anything, it’s just bots pretending to be people. The vibe is like boarding a city bus and realizing none of the passengers have faces

WTAF?! 4 Georgia counties supposedly gave Garland Favorito backups of their Dominion voting system databases b4 the 2024 election? And MAGAs also imply that they have analyzed Dominion databases in AZ, NM, & MI & claim they found a “hard-coded globally used password” which they put on T-shirts?! 1/

This election was not as close as 2016. But unlike 2016, we know 4 a fact that MAGAs breached voting systems in swing states b4 the 2024 election. Yes, I think Ds will concede w/o seeking recounts, even if they have doubts. I think that’s what happened in 2016. jennycohn1.medium.com/why-have-so-...

Kamala Harris once wrote , “It is misleading to suggest that impenetrable cybersecurity is possible; our focus must be on … detecting … any effort to harm us,” and we “can’t afford to be naive.” She knows MAGAs breached voting systems in swing states. She shld request recounts & ballot images. 1/

Thinking about this, and I just realized that there's like a 99% chance that Marjorie Taylor-Greene or some other right-wing weirdo is going to try to turn what bathroom Sarah is allowed to use at the Capitol into a whole thing. Calling it now.
