Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

I am seeing quite a few “impeachment failed” responses, so I will address it. 1st/the Ukrainian Impeachment did not fail: can you imagine what 2020 would have been like if the impeachment did not expose the “Hunter Biden Burisma” as bunk? 2/Investigate then Impeach: Build the Drama.

In 1974, Cornell lecturer Lin Farley began recognizing a pattern in the experiences women shared in her Women and Work course: women were being pushed out of jobs by men’s sexual behavior. Farley coined the term, “sexual harassment.”

Fun facts: Chris Rufo’s grandmother was an Italian immigrant who, I’ve heard from a reliable source, never learned to speak English fluently. Rufo’s wife meanwhile is an immigrant from Thailand. And the director of the Manhattan Institute who employs him? The son of Muslim immigrants from Bangladesh

not that you should expect anything more than rank idiocy from this pair of racists, but the idea that whiteness means a "high trust" society of "social cohesion" is some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard. these people live in a fantasy land that you could dispel by simply opening a book.

Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

"Machine made" clothes are designed/created by people. They're also finished/assembled by people. The machines don't think up the clothes and spit them out whole. What a ridiculous analogy.

Was prepared to go to war, but that's a pretty good, tho Manhattan-centric list, which follows given who they asked. I'd add a whole bunch in Flushing (xlb at Nan Xiang and Shanghai You Garden hello!), and momos (both on their own and in soup (jhol momo)) at few spots in Jackson Heights.

"When one side rejects pluralism, electoral legitimacy, or epistemic accountability, then 'reconciliation' and even 'civility' function less as neutral civic virtues than as asymmetric constraints, and they risk unilaterally disarming pro-democracy forces." 🎯
