I like to talk politics, science, travel and a bunch of other nonsense. Sometimes I come up with interesting ideas and observations. #FBR

These deaths are signs of deep problems behind the scenes.

NSPM 7. Look it up. It criminalizes liberal speech. National Security Presidential Memo 7.

The most dangerous minority group in the USA is Christian Nationalists.

ICE terrorizing Black people in South Chicago is absolutely the point of their project. They need to think that Black folks and other people of color are less than they are to feel better about being such wretched human beings.

The military doesn't applaud, dummy. They listen, receive orders, and carry them out... well, the legal orders, anyway.

You're probably right. Something where the gun holsters automatically, because he sure as hell doesn't know how to holster a gun.

Is this where they swear an oath to Trump or resign?

Historical ironies are amazing. James Comey is being indicted by Donald Trump for lying to Congress when it was likely Comey's actions, covering his assets by announcing an investigation of Hillary one week before the 2016 election, that elected Trump in the first place. That's ironic.

Trump says he hates his opponent and doesn't wish the best for them. Little does he know that his greatest enemy is himself.

Trump's actions against broadcast media have the potential to finally kill legacy media. The number one requirement of any successful market, including the media market, is trust. If the consumers cannot trust the market, they will create other markets. Unfree media is untrustworthy media.

If the Rapture doesn't happen on Tuesday, it would be ok if the right-wingers pretended like they were good enough people to ascend and just disappeared from social media.

They are using the same disinformation formula in every country, and people keep failing for it. The left needs a better counter message.

Now's a good time to cancel all of your subscriptions and then see which ones you miss.

The FCC should be very careful with the declaration that companies that don't work in the public interest need to have their licenses revoked. The amount of disinformation on right wing media would easily draw scrutiny under that line of reason.

New study: British attitudes to immigrants shifts with relatable messaging A Cambridge study shows personal, value-based stories about EU migrants can sharply boost British support for immigration

Westminster assumes minds can’t be changed on immigration. This Cambridge study proves them wrong ‡️

How a New Hampshire libertarian utopia was foiled by bears Seriously, this happened. You should absolutely read about it.

When I hear right wingers say government is not the answer, I think of the libertarian New Hampshire town that tried no government. We need government to make sure everyone has liberty, justice, tranquility, public safety, and general welfare, per the Constitution. Read: www.vox.com/policy-and-p...

They want to create a world where we are all free to say anything that right-wing extremists agree with.

It sounds to me like a civil war within the conservative movement between the fascists and the more mainline conservatives.
