seems his clearly written thesis argues the poll and pollster are being cynical and disingenuous, manipulative and propagandistic, with express intentions to gaslight us into kleptocracy…?
Such a misreading is the fault of the poll writers, which is an egregious, unprofessional problem

with all due respect seeing how I know nothing about said pollsters
Brilliant

Isn’t it almost weeks too late though?

Now media is onboard and helping Trump frame it

Maybe if Obama acts today—and GWBush too, he owes us this crumb to break into heaven
Pardon repetitive “is well”

I’m just sending hope for a lot of wellness to you
Post photos, sure; they’re satisfying, moving, entertaining mementos.
But play recordings of speeches to inspire & engage w/substance, vision & direction for ongoing & future actions.

Dear Dr. Foner,
I’m so sorry to miss your appearance at Enoch Pratt Free Library on October 29.
I admire your work very much.
I hope all is well is well with you and your family.
I look forward to a rescheduled Writers Live! interview.
Sincerely,
One of your fans

One of the most TRUE signs I have ever seen at a march. Write this down and act upon it, friends.

So “early circumcision” is bad—and “late circumcision” is ok?

How late is “late”?
A couple making $85,000 is described as “higher earners”?
your observation can be seen as allegedly agreeable
The paywall keeps me from reading this article but from the words here, I infer that its “both-sides” meaning and timing are published as clickbait greed.
“The left” is a vapid term, unsubstantiated, generalized, objectifying nonsense.
“Dubious arguments“ misrepresents nihilistic propaganda.

So WADR, I disagree w/leaders who stay stock-still scared.
3. Fu*k waiting. Fu*k politeness. Empathy, yes. Critical thinking, yes. Coordination. Bravery.
Elected officials have to sh*t or get off the pot.
I beg to differ.
1. Elected officials host or address protest rallies; lead or walk in marches & parades; wave & kiss babies, indoors & out, for American time immemorial. Good leaders must be rousing models of protest, power & fun.
2. Trump et al. are aiming for more power, more violence.
• Force and shame FCC chair Carr into testifying.
• Do press conferences
• Travel around the country educating
• Arrange for protests
• Work with entertainment industry leaders
• Other fierce action

The thing with designating a group that doesn't actually exist as a terrorist organization is that they can then say anyone they want is a part of that group.
Hindustan Times is a questionable source.
