Father, husband, math lover. Truth still matters. Scapegoating is bad. "I voted for Trump because of the economy" is morally equivalent to "Hitler made the trains run on time". My anger is justified.
Here is Trump's "policy" about investigative steps before an election:
1. If you are a Republican, there is never a time when such steps are permitted.
2. If you are a Democrat, there is never a time when such steps are forbidden.
If legacy media is suggesting anything else, they are lying.
What we can almost count on right now:
1. DHS will lie about the details of the shooting
2. The press will dutifully perform their duty as stenographers.
It’s alarming how much influence Hasan Piker may potentially one day have in the Democratic Party.

What are top 5 worst things about this administration? It's fucking hard to come up with just 5 (or 50), or even rank them. But here is one version.
1. Stupid pointless war with Iran.
2. Murdering fishermen in the Caribbean.
3. Pretti Good (et al)
4. RFJ jr
5. Concentration Camps.

Dear Democrats,
You will never be able to triangulate your way through racism/sexism/transphobia, because pushing a lighter, politer form of bigotry is always a lose-lose proposition.
The bigots want the uncut stuff, while normal people aren't drawn to cowards who sell out.
Stand your ground.
OK, I went here trump.fm to see if he really posted that stupid post about making billions in stock trades. He did. But scrolling through this.... He is fucking nuts!
I AM SICK AND TIRED OF AMERICANIZED, COUNTRY-FRIED BULLSHIT
By Murry Evans
I am sick and tired of Americanized, country-fried bullshit.
Before anyone deliberately misunderstands me, I am not talking about rural people, working-class people, Southern people or people of faith.
A possible romantic relationship between a president and one of his aides isn’t something the public needs to know about.
by Ken Starr and Newt Gingrich
Normally I just appreciatively read @jamellebouie.net 's columns-sharable video content just isn't my bag. But this is a very, very, very trenchant piece of commentary that captures a lot of how I increasingly understand the disjunction between the commentary environment and on-the-ground politics.
28 years of cyclosporiasis testing
Screwworms eradicated in the US in 1966.
Measles eradicated in the US in 2000.
All are back because of this science denying administration.
Nothing describes the cut throat nature of US right wing politics quite like being brain dead in a hospital bed, your wife didn’t cut her trip to China early to see you, the top tier of your Party is lying about conversations with you & your President hasn’t even noticed you’re missing.

‘Polarization’ has become the master concept for diagnosing our current democratic crisis.
But this is not polarization. It is the radicalization of the political right.
By misdiagnosing it, we risk becoming complicit in the crisis. 🧵
