Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

When it comes to the ghouls that crawled to the top of the muck heap during the global war on terror (which never ended), there's no one I'd rather read than @attackerman.bsky.social. His Cheney obit is no different. www.thenation.com/article/poli...
His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies
As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

Where’s the $50,000 you took in a criminal bribe, Mr. Homan?
Homan: "I can tell you the Trump administration is dedicated to achieving a record deportation, the vast majority being criminal aliens... I'm at the WH working with people like Stephen Miller to come up with strategic policies & plans - how to maintain success & how to get the numbers ever higher"
