Virginia Republicans have learned the difference between having a one-mile flood barrier that's 20 feet high and a ten-mile flood barrier that's 2 feet high. But while you celebrate, don't forget that their reaction won't be "We need to change" but "This is why we gotta stop having real elections."

โPresident Trump even called Tangier Mayor James Eskridge after seeing a story about the island on CNN. Trump told Eskridge then not to worry about rising sea levels, that the island would be there for hundreds more years. In 2024, Trump got 88% of the vote on the island.โ

If you read the article, Tangier Island itself voted 88% for trump. That doesnโt mean they should vanish from the face of the earth, but get your facts straight.

Honestly I think youโre imparting more depth to them than they deserve. I think theyโre just authoritarian follower types who will sell their sisters out to defend their ruler.

I can assure you Chicago will do nothing if and when the feds start to displace the encampments. We have a long history of destroying those encampments ourselves. It will be up to people of good conscience to do something and to likely put their lives and livelihoods on the line.

Hereโs the thing. I think that taking artificial dyes out of food is undoubtably good. However, doctors and health advocates have advocated this for years. If this were taking place under a Democratic administration every right-wing propagandist would be livid about โFood Freedom.โ

This interview was the very definition of white male fragility. That guy is just absolutely pathetic. He canโt handle the slightest criticism and thinks white males (projection) are being โdemonized.โ Honestly, they just gave him a shovel and he dug the hole.

If you want the clearest illustration of what white male fragility looks like, Dan Portnoyโs interview on NPR this morning is it. He canโt handle the slightest criticism or contemplate that something heโs said could possibly be hurtful.
