A superb example of what can happen when you stop being inclusive and cater to an autocratic power regime. My schadenfreude is at maximum.

They have never been serious. They shift positions based on what benefits them not any philosophical or moral center. Their lives have no meaning but for power.

If Canada became the 51st state, wouldn’t that permanently erode GOP control? Does the Right seriously want a liberal state added to Congress? Haven’t they thought this lunatic idea through?

I’m pretty sure that’s not the point of debate, Mark! Determining truth from falsehood, weighing different points for their veracity and impact? And yes coming to a consensus on the topic.

If we want to promote critical thinking, we teach that and then use it well in a debate.

BREAKING: A district court ruled that the FBI's use of Section 702 to conduct warrantless searches of a person's digital communications violates the Fourth Amendment.

This is a victory for our right to privacy from government spying.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Is it journalism if people have to pay to read it? Is it fair to deny some folks the right to hear news? Perhaps there are other ways to fund and pay journalists? πŸ˜‰
