The word on the street is that she developed a serious drinking problem around that time that's continued through today, and became substantially more erratically cynical about everything, which has made her underlying bullshit—racism and Islamophobia mainly—come out.

"what, you mean those chuckleheads with their dumb ideas about love and unity, and their kinda crusty get-togethers? them? a religion?" LISTEN TO YOURSELVES, AND READ SOME HISTORY, THAT'S WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE IN FIRST FORM, THEY'RE COMING UP BEHIND US AS WE SPEAK

Of all the neo-religious movements of the 20th and 21st century, I think Deadheads might be the most successful (derogatory and non-derogatory) church movement we have yet encountered.

it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy

I really hate Elissa Slotkin's patronizing "my theory of the case is that what works in the middle of the country will work on the coasts, but not the other way around" shit. It's one of her canned lines that she uses in her eventual attempt to run for president.

Elissa Slotkin • @ElissaSlotkin X.com Here's my theory of the case: If Democrats can figure out how to win in the middle of the country, we can make it work everywhere else. But what works on the coasts does not automatically work in Michigan, in lowa, in Ohio. So we've got to figure out the middle first. That is why I have been spending time in the middle of the country, in purple and red places. I've been talking with folks who voted for Trump about how they view things and what they're looking for in new Democratic leaders. And I want to say something about the Democrats organizing in tough places. These are people doing the hard work in red places, being good Democrats when it's hard. It is easy to show up where everyone already agrees with you. It is something else to show up where they don't, and do it anyway, because you believe it matters. I believe it matters. And I am going to keep showing up in those places. I hope you will too.have a theory: what works in the middle of the country will work on the coasts, but not in reverse. That's why we need to hear from people in places like Michigan, Idaho, and Kansas City. Because I'm in the business of winning elections. And we're all seeing what happens when Democrats lose focus on the middle class. I have aThe Midwest knows. DEN ••• ATS CRATS OCRATS to

After 20 years of legal practice while watching increase Republican lawlessness, my view is less abstract legal theorizing and more carving into a rock "if a proſecutour bringeth a cauſe without merit, then ſhall he ſerue the ſelfe-ſame ſentence which he ſought for the falſely accuſed."

I worry that most cynical among us, hopped up on 30 years of law and order rhetoric, will say "this is the system working: he didn't do anything wrong and now he's free." As if the terror and wide-scale publicity of an arrest and federal prosecution is not a horrible punishment in and of itself.

If the response from centrists to a prominent Arab American endorsing Kamala Harris in 2024 despite her conceding nothing on Gaza or not endorsing Kamala Harris in 2024 is the same in both instances it sort of gives away the gams about what the problem is.
