Are you a prude if you think murder is wrong?
Honestly maybe this is too galaxy brained a take but I think the liberal currents set freaking out about mangione is of a piece with their also regular freaking out about sex and overall prudish attitude. They both come from the same place of substituting revulsion for ethical reasoning.

This org does not get enough credit for consistently getting into the mix despite a low payroll and small market. What a run. Go Guards!
The Detroit Tigers led the AL Central by 10 games as recently as Sept. 6. Eighteen days later, the Cleveland Guardians sit one game ahead of the Tigers in the division — and also hold the tiebreaker over Detroit.
He must have encountered another sandwich shop with too many fancy meats.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “I’ve been driven away from the right over the past decade, but I can’t join the left because I just don’t think that tradition of thought grasps reality in all its fullness,” our columnist David Brooks writes.

When will this plague of “centrists” telling their tales of their open-mindedness through their contact with the common folk, in this case the Republicans at the gym for very rich ppl.
I go to the same gym I’ve gone to forever. Long before Trump. Same friends I play basketball and work out with. And lots of new friends over the years. I got a lot of shit campaigning for Harris from people I wasn’t close to there and some I was. Like here, I engaged. Because I want to understand

It is amazing how very smart people can go their whole lives voting and following politics and still not understand how our system works. Third parties will never work in our current system.
You do realize that Elon isn't eligible to run for office ? And that you have the choice to vote for whoever you choose. Maybe there will be better candidates than the Republicans or Democrats can and have run ? a new party couldn't do much worse.
The Dems did everything they could to fight this bill but of course the new goal post is to create a shadow gov’t to make up for the damage. She did set up a one food bank so she knows how easy this would be. Easier than just voting for Dems in the first place I guess.
This bill is going to harm millions of Americans right now but we won’t know the true toll for years. It’s time for Democratic leaders, donors, and organizations to use their dollars to fill the gaps Trump is creating: fund clinics, stock food banks, protect communities.
Remember, you can’t be truly free unless you let the worst people threaten to rape you and call you the n-word.
I’m not upset. I’m bemused that activists thought they would be more effective by giving up a platform where they had considerable influence and self segregating on a site almost no one else reads.

I can't remember the last time I saw an article just focus on this. Not that they've bent the truth or misrepresented a few facts a little, but that every single solitary thing that the GOP says on the topic is a stone cold lie with absolutely no basis in reality. ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports...
This is why we are so fucked. It takes an ex-tea party conservative to tell a supposed liberal that actually Dems aren’t to blame for Trump. And OMG he blamed voters who “very serious ppl” treat as smol beans without agency or principles.
Bullshit Bill Maher. Democrats have problems, but don’t blame Democrats for Trump’s re-election. Blame the American people. The American people knew how bad & corrupt Trump is, but they said they don’t care. Trump back in the WH is on the American people. Not Dems. www.mediaite.com/tv/bill-mahe...
