I'm sorry, your complaint about this wildly xenophobic and patently illegal action is that it's worded in a confusing way?

"This camp gate says that work makes you free, but free people don't have to work! Have you considered learning German, Mr. Eichmann?"

"Over many interviews, Pol Pot told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake Cambodia's economic system. Can he lead the intellectual establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?"

"We just gotta subsidize demand, man. If we subsidize demand enough, then all the prices will go down. We just gotta subsidize demand enough. Come on bro, just a bit more money to subsidize demand."

MSU would have gotten that score (albeit not a scorigami for college football) against Boston College last week if we had gone for a kick instead of a two-point conversion in double overtime.

Hard to think of a clearer case of somebody using "the working class" as a stand in for "white racists"

A spectacled parrotlet? What was John Oliver doing in Colombia?

Fantastic! I'm always happy to see Democratic mayors dedicated to building housing. Republican mayors have had us beat in that regard for too long.

I'm sad that "who do you think they'll believe, me?" got cut out of the final version

Instead, the party that supports legal weed, abortion access and not tanking the economy is barely breathing. We need to play better in the minds of people who vote based on abstract associations and emotions, because those people are apparently relatable enough that they go to Congress. /thread

I think, in order to succeed, Democrats have to find some way to make their party evoke more positive emotions in people, because lots of people just react to that. If Americans only voted for candidates that supported their preferred policies, we'd have a majority in every branch of government. 6/n

Nancy Mace was so confident that this dude at ULTA was a radical leftist savagely threatening her that she flew off the handle and posted a video of her screaming at him to Twitter. She is too stupid and unthinking to consider anything else as truth, even with video evidence otherwise. 5/n

I think lots of people live that way, and in America, they fall in line behind the reactionary right. They are not just reactionary in the political, academic sense, they literally navigate life by just following their first, strongest emotional reaction. They either cannot or will not reason. 4/n

Except she's not being attacked. What's happening in reality is that a constituent is curious and asking a question. However, the associative emotions that he evokes bubble over, and she somehow can't process any reality other than what her immediate emotional reaction tells her. 3/n

Mace sees a man shopping at ULTA, and she hears his kinda high-pitched voice. To her, those are symbols of being gay, which make her upset. He also asks about town halls, which Mace associates with being yelled at, which makes her upset. These make her conclude that she's being attacked. 2/n
