The idea that political violence has anything to do with partisanship is foolish. Nearly every major incident of political violence over the past decade has originated from the far-right. If it was partisanship alone, we'd see wine moms taking shots at MTG and Johnson but that never happens.

there should be one new video game console, it should only be updated once every 10 years, it should play all the games, and it should have cigarette style warning all over it about the perils of the Gamer lifestyle

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Newsom is doing what almost every Democrat in the country is afraid to do right now and he is going to reap all the rewards if they don’t hurry. As a California voter intimately familiar with Newsom’s actual policy bonafides, I am loudly imploring someone else to do that hurrying.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.

It is far more difficult to destroy military targets far into Russian territory than to bomb Ukrainian hospitals and apartment buildings from just across the border.

The fundamental flaw of broken authoritarian narcissists (the core of the right-wing coalition) is that they view empathy as a finite resource, such that, if you extend it to one group, you can't extend it to another. They see all of life through a lens of scarcity, competition, & selfishness.

@sgj.bsky.social do you have any input on how your audio books are recorded? My book club is listening to Buffalo Hunter Hunter and we all love it. Were the different pronunciations of Pikuni by the narrators purposeful?

“And if there’s one thing that’s spotless, it’s the inside of my car,” said me, literally never. Also we lose ~40,000 people a year to motor vehicle fatalities in the U.S. — which means, every two years, we lose more people on the roads than all U.S. soldiers killed in the entire Vietnam war (~58k)

“It’s absurd for anyone to insinuate that this president is profiting off of the presidency,” @PressSec said, before Trump headed to his golf club to dine with 220 people who bought his memecoin, which generates fees for a Trump business entity.

So there you have it. Yet another "norm" the GOP convinced our geriatric caucus to support and defend for years knowing they'd have the sack to eliminate it in the future because Dems didn't.
