Bill Link told me about touring colleges with his brother and their dad, historian Arthur Link, a UNC alum

As they drove away from visiting UNC, Bill's brother asked if they could tour Duke too.

"My father's fingers tightened on the steering wheel as he grimly said: NO SON OF MINE WILL GO TO DUKE"

Duke. Always and forever Duke. If you grew up on SportsCenter in the pre-internet days, you were either on the side of the Evil Empire or you weren't. And college hoops cleared college football in terms of popularity at the time. Laettner was Country Club Darth Vader

A great constitutional amendment would be the following: upon commencing a war* the President, VP, and entire cabinet must immediately resign due to failing at their jobs.

War should be regarded as a dire last resort that always comes with consequences.

*including β€œmilitary actions”

Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.

If you’re a Democratic member of Congress who trusts the Trump regime to take military action without Congressional authorization, you should immediately resign.

You’ve already abdicated your responsibility to uphold the constitutionβ€”please just vacate your seat. You are worse than useless.

we've shipped out 984,000 whistles pretty much entirely driven by this website, and sent about $25-30k worth of requested supplies to the twin cities on top of it, AND we've begun bulk buying red cards for various immigrant rights groups.

bluesky gets shit done.

It's not state-run media, guys. If it was state-run media it would switch to supporting Democrats when they were in power.

It's right-wing media.

I know this is not the point but what the fuck are we even doing here "buying groceries for my neighbors in hiding" and we all understand it and are like "yeah, of course". What the fuck.

One would think that this would merit an emergency convening of all Blue state governors, Attorneys generals and Congressional representatives. It's a declaration of war on one state which means they'll do it to others too.

I definitely think it's true that the average American voter thinks it's a he said/she said, can't be proven, maybe he did bad stuff and maybe he didn't situation. When in reality the mountain of evidence against him is uhhhh overwhelming.
