So I was curious whether O'Brien was just a big dumb meathead and that's why he spoke at the RNC. I think maybe there's another reason he likes Trump.

Biden has been about the most pro-union President you could ask for. So the President of the Teamsters spoke at the RNC, praising Senators like Hawley and Vance. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Just a reminder that the Right Wing projects their own self-loathing onto the rest of the world, creating a nightmare where their enemies are guilty of the things they hate most about themselves, creating a need for oppression and violence.

Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone of these two facts: 1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. 2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it. Read this out loud. Then read it again. Then teach it to your kids.

This AP tweet is an instant candidate for the Museum of American Fascism. Carve it in stone and put it over the entrance. It should be an enduring source of burning shame and embarrassment for the entire organization, as well as a warning to other media

that said, here are the margins of victory in presidential elections in texas this century: 2000: R +22 2004: R +23 2008: R +12 2012: R +16 2016: R +9 2020: R +5.5 so you can see why requiring dems to be competitive in, say, loving county (pop. 43) to ever win would be a solid insurance policy

Your periodic reminder that kerning matters.

Forever grateful for all the hunched over oldsters who amble by me at work, all active reminders to stand up straight
