Just another Twitter refugee looking for what we had there once upon a time. It's not going to be Mastodon or Post.News and probably not Threads, so let's see if we can't make this our home.

So combine that with the subsidization effect you acknowledge plus the added social pressure from rooted/backrow types that leaving for the city is betraying your family, spitting on your heritage, looking down on your upbringing (and in all these things there’s no reverse version) and it adds up.

Don’t disagree with this. I myself tend toward Do Something centrism, rather than being what anyone on the left would consider left (check out the lists I’m on).
But the WelcomePAC caucus is also the “we need to move on / stand FOR stuff not just against stuff” caucus, so I stand by my comment.

Nope, it’s real. He’s Jewish.
As for “low even for him,” well, in case you’d forgotten, this was his trolling response to Uvalde when they were still pulling bodies out of the classroom.
He’s as low as it gets before you cross into Trumpy.

And while no one (today) is talking about trans genocide, experts sure seem to think that Israel (with GOP backing) is committing genocide in Palestine, & the GOP rhetoric on immigration at this point is unquestionably genocidal. This is Hutu Power FM. This is inyenzi. There’s no outflanking it. 7/

Ten years from now when Democrats finally decide that the GOP and media are going to be haters no matter what they do and finally decide they just don’t care.

You can’t get to Trump’s right on immigration or crime. You want to arrest and deport, he’ll promise to mercilessly beat them publicly. You promise to beat them, now he’ll vow to kill them. newrepublic.com/article/2011...

“Well, Bari, I think it’s probably you and others like you spending 30 years accepting sinecures from billionaires to form propaganda organs solely dedicated to undermining trust in mainstream media and convincing the country that they’re biased by lying about both their coverage and reality.”

Probably worth remembering what actually happened here is that Blumenthal misspoke, saying he served “in Vietnam” rather than “during Vietnam” on a few occasions, while accurately depicting his service on many other occasions.
You know, a little reality, as a treat.

The people dressing up like JSOC ninjas and setting cars on fire, to the extent they aren’t simply a conservative fever dream, are an order of magnitude sillier and more whimsical than anyone wearing an inflatable animal costume.

The person writing this piece and in doing so amplifying this nonsense is why Republicans keep winning. And let’s not forget who it was.
