When our Democratic Party establishment, historically known for corruption and cronyism, turns on a twice-elected official like this, I am deeply skeptical.

Who knows? Maybe Ms. Martin isn't up to the job, despite the support of her constituents.

but I suspect there's a story behind this

Duh.

Drug laws exist to control people of color.

Control includes "disarming"

(in reality, prison for possession, not actually taking any guns off the streets).

This is the chucklehead who wrote a book on atheism where he actually seriously argued that all religion was the satire of Anglicanism he remembered from Monty Python.

His ignorance was acceptable when you agreed with his conclusions.

How about now?

For ease, let's just ignore the research based on population and substitute "eligible voters"??

Did you learn this method from Nate Silver?

3.5% of 340 million is 11.9 million

10/18 numbers fall well short

The Israelis are MUCH better at the reputation-laundering protest

Maybe if the Germans called Americans "crackheads" after sinking the Lusitania, the Americans would have been so overwhelmed by this display of Alpha male dominance that they wouldn't have dared "throw their hat into the ring"

or not? we'll never know

As offensively old, white, and fearful as it may be, I still would like to see No Kings succeed in creating a coalition as big as FDR's

yes FDR thwarted a workers revolution and set the cause of civil rights back for a generation,

but he created Social Security and I like my SSD check

Science educators are usually not willing to risk alienating members of Congress who write the checks for Big Science

Evidently Mr. Nye has concluded we're past that now

inability to understand intersectionality isn't always "liberal" (in my experience)

hard leftists I knew in the 1970s would say, for example "what does sexism have to do with class struggle?"

stupidity exists across the political spectrum

(though these days it seems to concentrate in the middle)
