I deleted the post, because reading the article I realized eugenics and the attribution of civility are also related. I always thought my children would be living in a world without such civility. When will the rest of us speak up?

Yes. For one. He's still too old. Too many have died of old age while in office. Its ridiculous.

I know a few old people still think 7.25 is a good wage.

It is age. Methodically entrenched politicians are very hard to convince their solutions don't work for younger generations. They often purposely misunderstand their economic narrative isn't valid anymore. True of immigration policies as well. They need to go. (I'm old, not ageism. I know.)

All these attempts to psyop us into accepting their software packages as “beings” rest on the platform built by Citizens United. As unintended consequences go, this one seems pretty apocalyptic

Grappling with the history of public executions and public tortures is a difficult thing. Humans have made spectacle out of some truly horrifying things. Despite the progress we have made, we are closer to that history than we would like to think.

The cavalry began showing up for Ken Paxton on Aug. 20, when Elon Musk's America PAC started spending. Since then, GOP groups have shelled out more than $200 million to rescue Paxton. In that time, the polls have climbed from D+2 to D+4. Via @fiftyplusone.news fiftyplusone.news/polls/senate...

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

we are watching a massive transfer of wealth during an era of massive wealth creation (however much it might be just paper money it’s powerful) — reinscribing gender during this moment is a choice about who will be a citizen for the next three hundred years.

He isn’t old. He isn’t out of touch. He isn’t confused. He is choosing who will rule. Men — even those who love men — are citizens and everyone else isn’t. Thats it.

Contrary to billing change over time as our beat, as a historian I'm here to tell you that violence against women is an absolute constant. Not generations but centuries of activism & policies have made that violence only somewhat more public. Our daily news reminds us how and why.

For the Tompkins County DA to go from "I recognize the reality that it can take years of therapy & healing for victims of sexual assaults to fully process & understand what happened to them" to "the evidence did not support the filing of criminal charges was legally correct" makes my blood boil. 1/

Yes. I don't understand why they don't offer per article payment. People who find themselves reading several articles would perhaps subscribe. I just pass and find another source on the same subject as I too am retired and can only afford so many publications. But an email addy is a 🤏 price to pay.

As is the case in higher ed, calls for civility are actually demands for docility.

I am here in Congress as Democratic Senators prepare to hear live testimony from those hit hardest by the Trump admin’s delegalization campaign—the largest effort in US history to strip protections and status from immigrants, many who have lived here for years. Over 1 million are already impacted.

Jamie Raskin calls out the shitty ads as a crime (this was cited by CNN and other stories). This is the kind of Xitter post that I beg of @raskin.house.gov or other MoCs to cross-post over here -- not least bc more people over here are likely to magnify it.

Rep. Jamie Raskin

@RepRaskin
This may be felony criminal theft and conversion of government property for political campaign purposes. 18 U.S.C. § 1641. It is a Hatch Act violation for any government employees who worked on it or used government resources to make it. It is blatantly unethical under numerous federal ethics provisions proscribing the use of government resources for political campaigns.

The White House is currently airing this video as an ad during commercial breaks on Fox News.

It looks and sounds like a political spot and includes a disclaimer stating that it is paid for by the U.S. government.

The soundtrack: as images of Trump flash across the screen,

Will relieve cramps. Any cramp. In a few minutes. Sip an oz. or two, repeat if needed, which is seldom. Some cramps are a little resistant. Also great marinade for fried chicken. Lots of recipes via any search.

My daughter just said - Shakespeare wrote over 40 plays and they keep making movies of the same 3 or 4. Not Titus Andronicus but there are a lot of others that would work. Julius Caesar would be apropos right now.
