American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

I made a “how do you do, fellow kids?” joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme.
So “how do you do, fellow kids?” is now an example of “how do you do, fellow kids?”

My friend Sarah is on the board of the American Friends of Jamaica, which has pledged $1 million in matching funds to disaster relief. They are well-connected on the ground and I trust the money will be spent wisely and quickly

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.
Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Saw this on a sign during a recent visit to a gift shop: “Everyone who visits this store brings joy — some by entering, and others by leaving.” Seems to work for a lot of situations. 😂

I used to be a Daily listener and so am glad to see this utter rot come up in appropriately critical context here rather than in my podcast feed.

I really do think we need to see the rape and abuse of women and children as not like a peculiar indulgence or hypocrisy of the right, but as a foundational practice from which their worldview proceeds. Rape is the metaphor from which they draw their other conclusions about domination and hierarchy.

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech
