I don't think the Republican Party can "go back to normal" but if it did, that just means being a vehicle for undermining government and concentrating wealth, enveloped in a bunch of dishonest obfuscatory slop. Why yearn for something to return to the exact thing that fostered it

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

For the first time in 80 years, the federal debt-to-GDP ratio is over 100%. In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin — the third-richest man on the planet — is reportedly spending $57M to defeat California's proposed billionaire's tax. So he and his fellow oligarchs can't afford a wealth tax, but they'll spend a fortune buying elections? See the problem...

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August. He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA. The grift continues.

Was reminded of the conference I held a couple years ago at the new Barves Stadium in Atlanta. Chat, I gave a land acknowledgement to open the conference. I do it other conferences too, but I really made a meal out of it for that venue. I haven’t punched a nazi (yet), but there is still time.
I wish to acknowledge and honor the Mvskoke (or Creek) people, who lived, worked, produced knowledge on, and nurtured the ancestral homeland that this stadium is built upon. I invite you to join me in acknowledging the Mvskoke, their elders past and present, as well as future generations. 

A quick history lesson: President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act in 1830 to seize land acquired through coerced treaties, after decades of working to displace native people. In 1832, when the Supreme Court ruled that Native Nations had sovereignty in Worcester vs Georgia, Jackson refused to enforce their ruling. In 1836, the federal government drove the last Mvskoke from their land in Georgia and Alabama. 3,500 of the 15,000 Mvskoke who set out for Oklahoma did not survive the trip. Today, we call this journey "The Trail of Tears."By acknowledging this history while standing just a few feet from the Chatahoochee River- (or "Painted Rocks" in Mvskoke), in a gathering place where people use caricature gestures and chants to cheer for their sports team as part of a "tradition" all of 30 years old, I hope to help us consider something important about context: we don't all share it, and what we choose to ignore says as much about our values as what we choose to pay attention to.
