I’m still amazed at how hard it is for people to recognize that others on their own “side” can be bad, or even do bad things. Terry Pratchett very wisely described it years ago, and these words have been so descriptive of the last decade or so.

Best way to take stock I’ve ever seen.

Add Nick Miroff to your list. He’s been stoking immigration fears since the Trump admin.

there is still a pervasive but unstated belief within mainstream media institutions that republicans represent a “real america” that must be indulged regardless of what they believe or the implications thereof

Have a good break, Isabel!

Congrats!

Reminds me of the Black Books scene where a customer only wants to buy the Dickens collection if it’s made with real leather. Pointing it’s real Dickens whatever the cover, Bernard eventually gets so frustrated that he demands real leather pounds.

I went with Nonie, and we had a great time. I reckon you’ll have a great discussion. So much good material (literally!)
