It's time once again for my annual #treebybike post. This is the 12/19/42 cover of @newyorker.com, so one full year after the attack on Pearl Harbor. This would be the first real Christmas alone, or without a family member, for millions in the US. Gas and tire rationing had begun earlier that year.🗃️

Trump vowed to banish 'woke.' Now, the culture wars are infiltrating the military and spreading paranoia among American troops

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

Nick Fuentes has been working overtime to sanitize his image and present himself as a uniter of the left and right. Very clearly using language often associated with the left.

This is part of a larger effort by the anti-Zionist antisemitic far right to recruit people on the left.

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.

Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

JUST IN: Democrats have flipped the mayor's office in Roswell, Georgia, in tonight's runoff.

GOP Mayor Kurt Wilson conceded earlier tonight to Mary Robichaux, the Dem challenging him.

(This is a city in the Atlanta suburbs, the 9th most populous city in Georgia.)

From Trump +22 to van Epps +5.

Alaska’s senate seat, US house seat, and about a dozen state legislative seats are in play.

This is Nazi rhetoric.

I've read the history and talked to the survivors and visited the museums. I don't use the term lightly.

It echoes genocidal language used against Jews for centuries. It represents an assault on Jewish values.

Every Jewish org should condemn this.

Loudly.

Forcefully.

Fuck the Trump Administration for refusing to acknowledge World AIDS Day, which commemorates an epidemic that among many others around the world killed many Americans and traumatized everyone they all left behind, especially those of us who had to watch someone as they wasted away

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull”

First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.

With me so far? 1/x
