Learned a new phrase today that helped me understand both why #MAGA weirdos are so #angry and why it seems like there are more ring-wing zealots than ever (even though there aren't), while also giving me more conviction in the progressive direction.
I just learned a new #psychology term that perfectly explains why #maga #republicans are still so #angry, and it has shaken my #leftist brain to its foundation. #extinctionburst #politics

This is the kind of Kickstarter I can really get behind.
When we first published about Semicolon owner Danielle Moore’s fundraiser to keep the bookstore alive, she had raised $9,000.
Now her Kickstarter is at $17,000.
The goal is $25,000.
