So I’m noticing that the cities like LA, SF, NYC, Memphis, Chicago, and Philadelphia that the GOP calls welfare-dependent aren’t colored in. I wonder if the fact that they’re actually the areas producing the nation’s wealth has anything to do with it.

DC right now!

Good news: They’re the same plant, just bred for different features. Brassica oleracea is one species of wild cabbage that was bred to produce Brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, kale, cauliflower, savoy cabbage, collard greens, kohlrabi, romanesco broccholi, and more. So you get to say “both!”

It’s getting alway too much hate compared to “Happy” by Pharrell Williams, who only wrote the song as a spiteful contract fulfillment when everything else he wrote had studio executives giving a thumbs down.

Don’t be too sure. Joni isn’t going to walk away from the money too easily, and I’m not sure what her prospects as a lobbyist would be.

"women shouldn't vote" is not the worst thing doug wilson believes. "liberals should be rounded up into camps and massacred" is.

Please understand that the term “tough on crime,”

actually means “tough on Black and brown people.”

That is how white people use that term. That is how they understand that term.

And that is how Black and Brown people also receive it when they hear it.

The loudest “tough on crime” voices are

Important point. Don’t participate in the normalization of the notion of “martial law.”

The US ideal of higher education was that those with the best education would become the guardians of Democracy. That’s why lawyers were considered in such high regard in the early US. Experts aren’t the enemy of freedom, they’re the only ones who can make it possible.

“We won’t go back.”
‘View from the entrance to the Rohwer Internment Camp where my family and I were sent. Circa 1943.’

Temu dictator chic. When he meets his maker, Jackie Kennedy should have the honor of pulling the lever to open up the trap door to God’s that Cheetodust stands on. It may not be as bad as his human rights abuses but how he treated the White House is the perfect metaphor of how he treats the country.

Karen Walker deserves no such slander. They may share many traits, but deep down where no one can see it Karen has a heart that Judge Janine Drunko couldn’t ever begin to comprehend.

Republicans will denigrate cities for having any homeless people or trash on the street at all; then act like a small town with abandoned cars, trash on every vacant lot, rampant opioid use, and vacant buildings everywhere in sight are Maybury. I’d rather see both treated with dignity.

Ken Paxton jailing Beto for fundraising is like a bank robber calling the cops on a Girl Scout for selling cookies without a permit.
The crook’s been under indictment for years—but sure, lock up the guy raising money for democracy. 🙄

Cheetodust wants so badly to follow the victorious savior, but he’s so whiney that he’ll never get past the martyr stage. Politicians who get to follow the savior trope, like Reagan and Obama, don’t whine half as much as he does.

The Western World has three tropes historians and reporters keep falling back on in politics, originating in Greco-Roman culture and reinterpreted by Catholicism; Julius Caesar/Jesus crucified, Alexander the Great/Jesus risen, and the Vestal Virgin/Mary.

Happens about once or twice every decade. Usually just a white guy who has too much confidence, and everyone in Northern California just goes “Did they live this time?”

It’s zombie vs vampire scenario. Let them weaken each other.

Mohawk Skywalkers: The History Stephen Miller Whitewashed The Kanien'kéhá:ka Haudenosaunee ironworkers were vital to building Miller's favorite monuments to modern America

Stephen Miller tried to claim only real "Americans" built the Empire State Building, but he left out the true stories of the Indigenous ironworkers who actually did. The Mohawk Skywalkers helped shape America's skylines—and shatter the lie behind Miller’s whitewashed nostalgia.

Not all crime is a response to poverty. Sometimes it happens on an island and ends up on a list.

That and the Civil Rights movement changed the risks for conservatives. Most population growth has occurred amongst minorities, while majority white states have become more diverse, stagnated, or declined. So only a state with a plurality of minority voters is viable and conservatives hate the idea.

One standard for her, another for JD.

Not the first step. He already has been trying in California, and based on the preliminary ruling that the appeals court stayed, he’s not likely to win the court case over it. It just went on trial today. He’s doing it from a position of weakness.

Indeed she has.

But I was told by everyone on the right that the only person who could deploy the National Guard (or prevent the deployment of the National Guard) was Nancy Pelosi.

Ah yes, nothing says small government like federal control of an entire city
