We never punished the people who authorized torture and the last 20+ years of our politics are a consequence of that.

Check out what's happening in TN! Back when I first moved back in 2017 we started building the infrastructure for this kind of sustainable growth starting with recruiting candidates in (almost) every district and seeing the largest growth of seats contested by Dems in the country.

I would like to see more companies admit this - being a public company no longer means running a successful, thriving business. It strictly means delivering growth to investors, every single quarter, who do not care at all about the product the company sells or the people who produce it.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

Nobody who is remotely acquainted with the federal budget would say something this ridiculous. It’s the free-lunch fantasy that you can balance the books by targeting “waste & fraud” rather than making hard choices that will be politically unpopular.

it is incredible to see folks complain that good people don't run for office, that lawmaking is a hobby for the rich, that our state legislators are run by car dealership freaks, and then insist that we shouldn't pay lawmakers any more than we do.

Tennessee Republicans have spent their entire time in power working to further disenfranchise and claw back every piece of political power and representation Black Tennesseans have gained. This is the current pinnacle but know that they will keep going until they have reinstated Jim Crow in full.

Thinking, as I often do, about this missileer's dilemma as drawn by Emil Friis Ernst thenib.com/how-we-nuke/
TEXT: In 1973 Air Force major Harola Hering posed a question to his superiors during training to become a Minuteman missile launch officer:

HOW CAN I KNOW THAT AN ORDER I RECEIVE TO LAUNCH MY MISSILES CAME FROM A SANE PRESIDENT?

Hering posed this question as the Watergate scandal was unfolding. And yet, on grounds of asking this question, the Air Force issued an administrative discharge, stating that:
