"Whataboutism" is a race to the bottom of any comparison. Good and evil rarely are debatable except by those with selfish motives.

Voted today after hearing testimony of the Fulton County election workers who left their jobs after being humiliated by Trump and threatened with harm by gop thugs. I thanked every worker for the important work of running our democracy.

Much, much of this could have been avoided had SBC ilk recognized the gifts of women in ministry including in leadership. I'm thankful for Mainline witness and inclusiveness.

I never understood why many Christians love their guns and vow never to give them up. Always wondered what they'd do if had to choose between a gun or Bible?
Brisk walk in my warm Navy Peacoat in -8 windchill this a.m. but thinking about the brave Ukrainians fearing missiles with no heat or water. And the world just watches. We must do better!
If this investigation is nothing more than a baseless fishing expedition for dirt about the civilian child of the President — as today’s hearing has been — then it’s a gross abuse of power for political purposes and a waste of taxpayer dollars.

As a lawyer since 1972, stare decisus and predictability has been critical to a strong rule of law nation. But, it seems possible for this Roberts' court to reverse (or brutally modify) Brown, Loving, Griswold, Obergfeld, etc "returning power to states. Sad!

Like 2020, I think Black women will lead us to victory over fascist lies, racsim, misogny, homophobia, "immigrantphobia", and keep our democracy strong and moving toward a nation that actually lives out it's "Justice for all" value!
Women have had to fight men for every individual right. Before 1974, a woman could not have a credit card in her name alone. Our all male founders never envisioned women having any rights apart from husband.
Last night capped it! The entire nation now knows that the Republicans stand for NOTHING in the 21st-century! Petulant, pouting, profane, prevaricating, and that's on a good day. Otherwise, dumb, dumber, dangerous, despicable and DEFEATED!
@matthewjdowd
Sorry, the polls do not show that in the only states that matter. Even if keeping one's head down is needed, the alternative is unacceptable under my moral standard!
Conservatism leads to abuse because conservatism *is* abuse. It is the protection of hierarchy and unearned privilege at the expense of those without power, and the protection of institutions at the expense of the people who inhabit them.

Important to remember the Union did not throw up it's hands in 1861. It declared who the enemy was and crushed them - all to save the Union! History & experience are life's most important teachers!
Yes, despite racist bully DeSatanis & other Confederate governors, Black history is just as critical to our understanding of our world and our past so we do not repeat its mistakes!
Have you ever heard of the first Black Members of the U.S. Congress? They were some of over 2000 Black members of legislature elected in the late 1800s during Reconstruction. Have you ever been taught about Reconstruction: a very important part of American History?
@DrJamesDobsonFT
Oh, you followed the evidence and witnesses closely? You determined that David Pecker, Hope Hicks, Alan Weiselberg, and the other Trump buddies, aides, and employees LIED. Well, then, they should be arrested, right! Otherwise, crawl back in your sad, dangerous anti-American space
Wondering about average wealth of the 82% Black Jackson MS residents, who now have no water system, remote learning, 50th in poverty under 300 years of Confederate rule and counting? Oh, and women don't have bodily autonomy!
Some Germans wrote books about how subtly it happened to them in the 1930s. Just a banned book or lies about the government or new leaders claiming to be saving the people from Gypsies & queers. Crazy. That could never happen here, right?
In a book study group, several said "Even Irish, Italian, & German immigrants thought American Blacks were inferior." Why? Because they wanted to assimilate & be Americans, and to do so, they had to agree to our racial caste system. "Caste" by Isabel Wilkerson brilliantly lays/1
@iamMauriceW
Yes, but Lincoln was "practical", knowing that even majority of the North would not - in 1861 - accept Black full equality: "Unity over Justice." By, 1864 he evolved to grant citizenship to defecting Black soldiers & right to vote. "Justice over Unity." A flawed white man evolves
Ignoring all "woke" evidence to the contrary, Nikki Haley's appeal to white Americans includes "I am proof that America is not a racist country" claiming her light skin Indian parentage proves it. Clueless, she never had to have "The Talk" with her children in S. Carolina.
"Carter's the only president whose time in office prepared him for greater things" said his biographer. I'm imagining the multitude of thankful praises for Carter's life that 45 will never receive.
J6 Chair Bennie Thompson (D-MS) throws gop Gov Reeves under the bus "You'd think the federal, state, local govts are working together, but they are not." Bennie's too nice to call it rank racism while it's clear it is. Shame on white Mississippi officials and elites!
Don’t forget today is the day we get some pages from the Georgia Grand Jury Summary to let us know who lied to the prosecutor and who all will be indicted…. Obviously we will have to read between the lines! 😁
I believe she will be the first to hand out an indictment
So, Elon rids Twitter of health disinformation which will result in more sick & dead. If companies like Tesla are protected by law from false info causing stock losses, maybe we need laws to protect against lies about vaccines etc?

That'll make your surgeon and nurses happy by not having to wear masks during your operation, or even washing their hands. Hey, it worked in the 19th century.
'Justice delayed is justice denied' is true for victims not yet made whole. Now, the victim is democracy's rule of law and our 247 yr old self-rule experiment. It's inconceivable that our laws that criminalize fraud, sedition, & violence may not be applied to a former president1/

Can't have clearer contrasting visions about America than Joe Biden's optimism based on freedom & accomplishments, and Sarah Huckabee's gloom and doom fear of people free to love who they love, be who they are, read whatever, vote how they want & make own medical decisions!
Yup! Tax rates were 70% for wealthiest. Strong Middle Class bought homes & educated their kids. Now a race to bottom after Reagan slashed wealthy taxes. Must reverse the '17 Trump tax giveaway to his cronies.

It's called Humility. A distinctly human virtue. It comes naturally to people who are not completely self-absorbed and actually have compassion for others.
Two reasons: 1/ From birth, most of last 400 years whites were taught Blacks were inferior and to be feared 2/ No Confederate state govt has ever apologized or taken any remediation steps unless forced by a court or Fed law. Without serious national reconciliation,hate continues
@EWErickson
Sorry, but a slowly diminishing president who knows right from wrong, truth from lies, gets my vote ANYDAY over the multi-felon, rapist, fraudster abt which 40 of his VP & cabinet & aides will not vote for again!
This man was everything whites said Blacks could never be. Today's white Confederate Southern legislators continue to treat Blacks as unworthy & their property for life.

Local betting is that DA Willis will indict national & state gopers in a racketeering conspiracy indictment to violate GA election laws, e.g. Tfg, Rudy, GA gop chair Shafer & other fake gop electors who signed their documents under oath.

If there were 109 Tesla batteries going up in flames every day causing 109 deaths would the GOP be advocating to mandate a fire extinguisher in every Tesla and for drivers to wear fire-resistant clothing? Just wondering.

If U don’t watch anything else today, pls watch Hawkeem Jeffries EPIC takedown of Clarence Thomas. Absolutely destroys him after mockingly calling him “Brother Thomas.” And ends with saying: “Truth will be your kryptonite!”
This evil happened in my Ft. Lauderdale hometown a not many years before I was born. By reading real history I now know that because Ruben Stacy is at the end of that rope, accused of "scaring a white woman" by asking for a glass of water.
The word “picnic” is rooted in the whole theme of “Pick A Ni**er.” This is where white Men & Women would “pic” a Black person to lynch and then make this into a family gathering. There would be music and a “picnic.” (“Nic” being the white acronym for “ni**er.”). Their idea of fun
@HeathMayo
Yeah. I remember the existential Dem angst when Obama bombed his 1st debate with Mitt in 2012 or, 2004 when Kerry won 1st debate with Bush II. How'd they turn out? And neither had to debate a lifetime LIAR about all things. Nonstop!
The Newtown parents" $70 million settlement with Remington Arms may force gun mfgs to require more screening by sellers, support for age 21, and Red Flag laws. Pocketbook issues critical to mfgs too.
Perhaps if Congress told Treasury to prioritize non-payment of Congressional salaries upon a failure to fund the government, it just might get some House gopers to reassess their fiscal principles?

DA Willis kicking gop ass in GA. Subpoena's Gov Kemp who tried to claim "political witch hunt" but Willis calls him in effect a liar and to show up and testify. Pretty sure now tfg is glad he got his passports back from FBI. Smart, strong Black women are his Kryptonite!
So glad to be in the district next to her GA14. Still, I'm wondering about the divorce questions her moronic voters are asking like "Will we get to raise our Confederate flag over schools & govt buildings?"
Puhleezzee, David. GOP got us here. Roll back the Reagan-Bush-Trump tax giveaways to the wealthiest, combined with the right's assault on organized labor and VOILA! the middle class makes LESS now than in the 1970s. Top 1% owns what, 90% of all U.S. wealth?? Not rocket science
For my brothers and sisters on the Left – even a 100% tax rate on small businesses and upper-income families can't even come close to balancing our long-term budget. It's time we start telling the truth about the math.

Kind of damning that God cares oh so much more about your neighbor being mocked, marginalized, and outright excluded while many Christians are busy forming rock bands and write catchy praise songs to entertain their audiences.
The 2nd Amendment was introduced only because white Southern slaveholders wanted to keep their weapons so as to threaten their slaves and put down slave revolts. White supremacy infects every American institution and every decision.
The relentless drive to absolve white supremacy from fresh horror.
As if white supremacy culture isn’t what gives people easy access to weapons of mass death.
As if it isn’t what creates conditions of horror and degradation which drive people to pull the trigger.
