"Do your own research" means you see out YouTube videos, Reddit conversations, and a whole lot of other nonsense, instead of actually reading what actual subject matter experts have learned.

boycotted the GA Senate runoffs. I don't know if our democracy could come back from that. I know that I, as a libtard, would be triggered by this assault of our electoral system.
@jonathanchait
One reason progressives shouldn't be defending pearl-clutching liberals right now is that it's literally impossible to distinguish them from conservatives right now.

It's amazing that this was just one tournament. 7 games.
Few players would have a highlight reel like this for their entire career. How could this be just one month, and by a 35-year old, who is long past his prime? How did he do this?
@AJentleson
Actually, I think the "lie" formulation isn't great, because it assumes intentionality. One can be wildly wrong and reveal great ignorance, without lying. Often, I think he's lying. Here, I think he's an idiot.

@MollyJongFast
It's not just an unauthorized trespass on private property. Unlike the protests and even the looters, they are intentionally putting lives at risk with their asinine behavior. Not a public nuisance, but an actual public menace.
@ACTBrigitte
I mean, you’re not all wrong. The Merrick Garland => Brett Kavanaugh > Amy Coney Barrett saga really drove our politics off the rails, destroying any faith people had in a functioning democracy and rule of law. Instead it’s all about power now. Real villain is Mitch McConnell.

This is idiotic. Not only has sex been a commodity for at least 1000s of years, so was marriage. Nothing sacred or reverent about it. Dowries and the reverse where daughters are sold. The idea of romantic marriage is historically new, and the spread beyond the rich is very new.
@paulajean2020
This ain’t it. Find a real issue, and a real villain. She was invited, and she still didn’t miss an opportunity to make a statement about our messed up system and inequality.

I would think that 99.10% of American English speakers understand “heterosexual.” I would also expect that at least 50%, probably many more, have no clue what cisgender means.

Other than somehow stopping scam calls about SSNs + auto warranties, the greatest thing Fed Gov't could do for consumers is to ban fake free trials automatically rolling into a paid subscription. Either bar asking for credit card / bank nos, or require an opt-in at END of trial.

Actually, you can fault him. He's crushed American brick and mortar retail and used illegal anti-competitive practices to force out countless producers and corner not just the market on the online marketplace, but also the stuff he sells.

They all need an intervention. America needs an intervention. Conservatives have been gripped by a fever that's been slowly building for the last 3 decades, but really began to spike a dozen years ago. They are willfully disconnecting from reality. It's not just a few notables.

“Is Gov. Kemp going to let the voters in GA (and...Stacey Abrams) get away with deciding the Presidential election there? The voters must be stopped, or the black woman will get to decide stuff in Senate!”
@MikeSacksEsq
Also, I don’t need to fear a “Holy God” to treat other human beings with great respect. This is where modern conservatism careens off the track… insisting that only the devoutly religious have any moral grounding.

Maybe Congress should give itself the power to order the arrest of anyone in the states (including legislators) trying to interfere with the work of election officials?

DeSean Jackson just keeps digging a bigger hole. We need a reckonong with Nation of Islam, Farrakhan and their peddling of antisemitic conspiracy. DeSean seems to be volunteering to be the first casualty.
For lots of reasons, people on the left must no longer look the other way.

There's a reason for that.
AOC stands for doing stuff for the people, whereas MTG just stands for doing stuff for the grifters posing as "Q."

What’s wrong with his idealism? I’ll say I wish we had 100 Senators, 435 House members, 51 Governors + DC Mayor, and 1000s of state and local legislators and officials with that idealism. That’s what I’ll say about it.

Dude...at least that party is in a position to get some things done. She pressures leadership, etc. You do a podcast. See the difference?

This is true. The instinct to grandstand is huge, but nobody's going to be sharing that drivel beyond a minute later.

What does the temperature have to with anything? This isn’t influenza. The worst outbreaks are in FL, TX and AZ, where it hit 115 degrees this weekend.

For some reason — I’d guess b/c Dems decided to steer very wide berth around Mueller investigation — they ignored public reporting in 2018 that Trump extorted Poroshenko ending cooperation with

Such a bad take.
"Parental rights" to decide what their children know and think about the world.
Parents don't own their kids. Children have rights, including right to education about life and the world they live in. Education. Not indoctrination, which happens in the home.
Wild story of 2 MAGA crazies elected to school board in West Bonner, Idaho. They were decimating schools + hired a legally unqualified Superintendent, so voters got voter remorse -- just voted to recall them. MAGA nuts then tried to dissolve school board.

People who need to be locked up:
Lin Wood. Sidney Powell. Mike Flynn. Donald Trump. Rudy Giuliani. All people trying to steal the Presidency because they don't like the election result.
People who don't need to be locked up: Officials following the law and respecting our votes.

He has...tattoos? It's weird, but you an't see them when he's in uniform...like today, or on Jan 6.
Also, what percent of police have tattoos? 40%, 50%, 60%? Higher?
Do you have a point beyond confirming your place in Hell?

Some heroes wear red hats with US flags. I don't want to doxx the guy, but we should find out who he is, so we can award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2021.
I guess there’s Trump event in PA today. On I95 I passed weird little convoy of SUVs& trucks with big US flags + even bigger Trump flags. Saw a capital meats van. This outfit goes door-to-door, hustling people, ripping them off w/ overpriced vacuum packed meat.

You do realize thats exactly what's being reported? 1) They bought off generals and local officials. 2) Americans aren't the only ones who don't want to be the last soldiers to die in a losing cause.
@brianschatz
The single most important presentation in a Supreme Court nomination hearing ever. More important than any Q & A with a nominee. Ever.
Before we get into court reform, we need to understand why there's a problem and really what it is, so that we can be sure our reform fixes it.

Given where gun ended up, he'd already tossed gun before cop yelled "Drop it." Tragically, meant cop didn't see him drop it and led to the decision/reaction to shoot -- but cops have to learn to slow everything down in those situations, like pro athletes do. Assess. Don't shoot.

Apparently progressives started a fight, challenging members of Congress who were already actively working to defeat the progressive agenda.
The good news to come out of it is Hakeem Jeffries is admitting he ain't no progressive. He sees himself on the other side of this fight.
@kenklippenstein
It's so much easier to blame progressives for a centrist losing (easier than any self-examination)....
....and to cheer the defeat of a progressive in Buffalo by a Democrat who couldn't accept the verdict of party primary votes (to cheer, rather than acknowledging hypocrisy).

11% disapprove of a binding judicial code of ethics? I didn't realize the conservative justices had such large families. I guess it includes Federalist Society and big Republican donors.

This is absurd. And 100% wrong. Check his timeline. You'll see plenty there about all of it. He doesn't dismiss diversity, either. But he's a progressive, and he's critical of those who mistake having diverse candidates with actual progressiveness. You've bought a line of bull...
@davidsirota
@jaketapper
Tapper is onto something here that I overlooked.
There's no way a paid leave bill was going to get the GOP votes needed to get thru the Senate, but Biden could've gone straight to the investors and the industry to push them much harder to include PTO in new contracts.

There's no reason for SUVs. In New York City, it's absurd. It's like an arms race. No on wants to be in the small car, uncool, unable to see traffic beyond the SUV in front of you, and the big loser in any collision.
@MirandaJMarks
This would seem to be the peak example of what people have in mind when they note that you don't have to post every idea that crosses your mind. Especially your worst ideas. Ofc, we're not in position to judge what our worst ideas are. So, pro tip: Don't criticize Anne Frank.
@SethAbramson
Jeezus, you're a narcissist. Gravel campaign announced weeks ago that they'd be winding up after the July debate, whether or not he made the stage. The whole point was to make the debate stage and that isn't going to happen.
@jazmineulloa
Unbelievable that after what we saw all summer with police rioting against protesters to protect businesses, the police are doing next to nothing to stop this.
@jbouie
The idea that conservatives “rarely” believe ends justify the means? They literally try to keep people from voting just because they’re afraid they’ll lose if everyone gets to vote.
