I walk EVERYWHERE and, yeah, most of y'all are looking at your phones. The fact that I haven't died (yet) at the two intersections in the front of my house is kind of a miracle.

Not if MY senators have anything to do with it (derogatory)
The only silver lining that I can see to any of this is, the status quo is so far gone that there isn't going to be a next chapter that doesn't involve building something new
I feel like the fractures we are seeing in the MAGA coalition have some people hoping the status quo will simply make a roaring comeback, and judicial consequences will simply engulf all of the bad guys. There's really no precedent that supports that expectation.

My wife is a born-and-raised Nashvillian and she absolutely agrees with this.
They’re definitely getting worried. But this particular attack won’t work. Most Nashvillians understand and agree with the sentiment she was expressing here. Especially during the pandemic.

Just read a letter from 1877 wherein a woman was conveying a vulgarity she had overheard, but censored herself by writing “blankety-blank” instead of the vulgarity.
Reading letters from the Princess Liselotte of Palantine, the German sister-in-law of Louis XIV, and it's wild because she had this super informal writing style that almost sounds like modern texts
Like at one point she goes "wish to god my son didn't love holding chunks of bread like a peasant"

I burned out on reenacting years ago but I think I could suit up again for this.
You know how there are some historical reenactment museum areas where you can go and see people dressed old timey churning butter and making horseshoes? There should be one that's a bar and kids can go listen to reenactors complain about their city's sports teams from different decades

Going to figure out real fast how easy it was for Republicans to give up on Reconstruction
There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.
