Sadly, research so far shows direct experience of climate disasters does tend to shift people to stronger belief in climate change, but doesn't have much lasting effect on their own behaviour, voting choices or support for climate action.
Most people vote based on political identity and the economy.

He said, “I guess.”

What more do you want him to do? He’s a busy man. He has ballrooms to build and curtains to pick out.

You'll never love anything the way Trump loves screwing farmers.

essay titled mario the idea versus mario the man. it was graded as an F. the essay reads: Everyone knows Mario is cool as fuck. But who knows what he’s thinking? Who knows why he crushes turtles? And why do we think about him as fondly as we think of the mythical (nonexistent?) Dr Pepper? Perchance. I believe it was Kant who said “Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play.” Mario exhibits experience by crushing turts all day, but he exhibits theory by stating “Let’s-a go!” Keep it up, baby! When Mario leaves his place of safety to stomp a turty, he knows that he may Die. And yet, for a man who can purchase lives with money, a life becomes a mere store of value. A tax that can be paid for, much as a rich man feels any law with a fine is a price. We think of Mario as a hero, but he is simply a one percenter of a more privileged variety. The lifekind. Perchance.

this is how i talk irl btw

yeah i listen to the classics

Donald J. Trump C @realDonaldTrump Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries. They have said, "Thank you President Trump." I have said, "You're welcome!" Iran is no longer the "Bully of the Middle East," they are, instead, "THE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST," and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran's bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

A child speaks.

Also, the premise is just false.

A sitting president had to quit his reelection campaign because he was old. Tony González announced his retirement this week. Kristi Noem got fired YESTERDAY. The GOP is terrified of Ken Paxton winning the primary. Roy Moore did lose his senate race.

The price is going up based on the commodities market, the same way that wheat prices have gone up since Russia invaded Ukraine, even though we grow all of our own wheat.

If it bothers you to see a Black person online say white people are racist, here's what you can do instead of attempting to refute them in their mentions. End racism.

Polls looked like this for Collins six years ago with a stronger opponent right after she’d pissed everyone off. She’s been keeping a low profile lately. She’s not stupid, and it’s in no way a fait accompli.

He’d be worse. She at least votes to protect abortion rights and to fund birth control and planned parenthood.

I’m not trusting the guy who was writing reddit posts 5 years ago about how it’s my fault I got raped to protect my rights.

The governor who told off trump to his face is not a fighter?

It seems like people are really just looking for a reason to support the guy with Nazi tattoos who constantly lies in order to avoid confrontation.

People with Nazi tattoos are profoundly off-putting

Blackwater mercenaries give the ick

Marines who were stationed at Abu Ghraib in 2005 get major side-eye

Someone who is all 3 should only be in the Capitol on a tour, even if they have a fantastic publicity team, periodt

What do Roy Moore, Tony González, Mark Robinson, Kristi Noem, and Mike Flynn have in common?

It’s not electability, and you can and should stick mercenary with no experience and a Nazi tattoo in that category, too.

North Carolina is the mid-south and it voted for Barack Obama, and for that matter, Mark Robinson, who was nuts in the first place, so there’s no evidence that race was a factor.

And Graham Platner deserves exactly as much grace as Mark Robinson got for his denials.

Roy Moore was a white law and order candidate up against a civil rights lawyer in the Deep South, and it didn’t work for him.

Tony González a Deep South Republican is stepping down.

Madison Cawthorn, a mid-south Nazi, lost his primary.

This premise is only true if you ignore the evidence.

Oh, so they’re like blue sky users?

That’s just off the top of my head—and can’t forgot Mark Robinson and the Nude Africa porn reviews.

There is no reason to think that he can win a general election with that kind of baggage—not even Republicans can—and there’s every reason not to support someone with a Nazi tattoo.

It doesn’t work.

It didn’t work for Gonzalez, and the GOP is scared shitless that it won’t work for Paxton. Kristi Noem just lost her job because of how she responded to the affair question, and she lost her shot at VP for trying to brazen her way through the Cricket fallout. Roy Moore couldn’t ride it out in 2017.

“Issa, a former Army officer and CEO of a manufacturer of anti-theft devices, has been active in politics since the 1990s.

Fathers Dan and Phil Berrigan, who were also brothers, led a group of 9 antiwar activists to break into a selective service office, steal the draft cards, and set them on fire with homemade napalm. And yes, activism like this still goes on today, whether or not you, personally, are aware of it.

Father with a conscience In the still of a humid August night, a Catholic priest disguised as an Army officer drives onto Fort Benning, home to a school that trains soldiers from Third World countries.

Father Roy Bourgeois used to sneak into Ft Benning, and climb up a tree and play sermons by Oscar Romero outside the barracks of right wing paramilitaries our government trained at the School of the Americas. Some of the soldiers would cry.

He eventually succeeded in shutting down SOA

Liberation theology is an important movement that drives social justice work within religious communities.

Right wing evangelicals aren’t the only kind of Christians, and they’re certainly not the only kind of believers.

For instance

The Pro-Democracy Faith Movement CAP brought together diverse religious leaders to explore the values underpinning the faith community’s support of democracy.

Like Joe Biden, Jesse Jackson, Martin Luther King, JFK, Ernesto Cardenal, Oscar Romero, John Adams, William Jennings Bryan, Sonia Sotomayor, Barack Obama, Rafael Warnock, Pope Leo, Dorothy Day, Sr Helen Prejean, William Barber, and every Black church that does pews to the polls during early voting?

The DNC is not going to back this person if she wins the jungle primary. The CDP is not going to endorse her. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This is ludicrous. The charge may be the same, but the facts are utterly different. This is the sort of thing you say when you’re looking for an excuse to capitulate without it seeming like capitulation. Nobody familiar with both cases could seriously claim they’re remotely analogous.
