1/ Okay, this 🧵 will probably be slowly added to, as I look up relevant links and info. Feel free to add stuff you think is helpful. Are you looking to find a bandwagon to jump on for #OctoberBaseball? I'm a big #Brewers fan, and I've loved watching their games the past few seasons.

New — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:
thehandbasket.co
Republicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problem
A spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

Hello, normies! It is that time of year when your teacher friends awkwardly link to their Amazon wish lists (www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...) and DonorsChoose projects (www.donorschoose.org/sl/CALMPsi8iZ) and feel terribly guilty about it but hope you chip in anyway.

In case anyone in Wisconsin (or anywhere else for that matter) is confused, I offer a visual representation.
A photo of three birds on a telephone wire that has been made into a meme. On the left, there are two birds near each other, the left-most one labeled “Hong” in meme-text, and the other “Crowley.” The bird in the far right is labeled “Tiffany.”

If Hong supporters can get over their reflexive anti-establishment disdain, Crowley has an incredible story of overcoming hardships to succeed where none seemed possible. Unfortunately for them, his win is another example of it, but to me it means he has a pretty high ceiling

There is almost literally nothing more certain in life than that cracking down on a peaceful protest results in exponentially more harm to people and property than letting it play out, with open lines of communication and coordination between protest leaders and law enforcement.
