It’s crazy how much Republicans love crime. Two non crime guys but Paxton’s gotta be the one.

Wild to say context is critical. Dog, Exodus 23 is (literally) in the context of bribe taking and partiality. Leviticus 19:33 is followed by “You must not act unjustly in weights and measures”.
Like the context is the laws and rules of society, not personal affection!

Why does somebody all-cappsing “CONTEXT IS CRITICAL” always precede the wildest cherry picking imaginable?

If this is true, it’s apocalyptic for the GOP across the board.

About to go to bed so I won’t find out till morning exactly how many points one can lose when two weeks of murdered U.S. citizens is the main piece of news
Wow, buckle up.
The early vote just came in Tarrant County, and Democrat Taylor Rehmet is up 56% to 44% in the special election for a Texas state Senate seat.
This is a seat that went for Trump by 17%. This would be a huge upset.
This is already 45K votes.

Obama in fact owes us the world. He is an extremely powerful person, and we all owe a duty to use our power in support of democracy, freedom, and dignity.
politicians aren't "owed" anything. they are public servants. "but i'd be sad if i retired" who CARES.
if you're out here doing the business of political agitation--you too have responsibilities. "but i'd be SAD if i was held accountable for the results of my choices--" tough tuna.

God, whose work I much admire and love, nevertheless sometimes comes in for harsh criticism on plagiarism grounds.
look, i don't know if there will be history graduate students in the year 2073, but if there are, you need to know this: colonel lockjaw was not a satire of greg bovino.

The great gift and problem of the Trump regime is that there will always be another off ramp because they’re so bad
This is mind-bending. The Minnesota GOP Governor wannabe who volunteered as the 1st ICE murderer's legal counsel just DROPPED OUT of the governor's race (and seemingly the party) because he can't stomach the 2ND ICE murder www.startribune.com/chris-madel-...
Chris Madel ends GOP bid for governor, says he can’t support federal ‘retribution’ against Minnesota
His exit comes as some other Republicans have started to distance themselves from the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the state.

Obviously a ton of downsides to the Events but the next crop of Dem politicians is going to be elected on “Were you on the streets?” So one day we will have politicians this cool
There were people on Twitter who called it a “woman moment” when a South Korean politicIan slapped a soldier’s rifle aside, instead of recognizing it for the incredibly gutsy moment it was

Between November ‘20 and January ‘21, probably? Maybe during the Floyd protests but that was more smoke than heat.
Everybody post your “Yes, It’s Fascism” date
Every one of the factors that now convince him Trump is fascist was present in the first term (even if unsuccessful). Lots of folks who accurately described Trump as fascist were called unserious. I'ed much rather someone admit why they were wrong (left-punching, bias, etc.) than this. Gift link

Shut the government down. There is no reason to have a federal government that does this. Abolish ICE is the moderate, centrist position.

Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

Reading Nelson Mandela talk about being in prison and ignoring and defying the prison guards because he was arguing with another prisoner about whether or not there had ever been tigers in Africa. Every great man of history? I know, in the depths of my soul, they were all born posters now.
