The history of this being wrong stretches all the way back to the English Parliament in the 1600s. It's so wrong that Bessent should have to write a 15-page essay about how wrong it is and if it isn't sincere enough he should get an F and have to do it again.

The more people stand up, and the more people put their finger on the scale, the better chance we have of making a better outcome. Every person who chooses not to be involved is handing another small victory to the other side.

And with times as volatile as they are, small victories pile up quick!

I keep telling people who want prognostications that we're at a moment of extremely high variance. The future could plausibly go in a wider variety of directions--from full-on authoritarianism to backlash promoting a Third Reconstruction--than at any time in recent history.

the number of elected dems who actually understand the republican party is shockingly small. rather than giving them better insight, knowing and working alongside republicans has blinded them. it’d be fascinating if it wasn’t such an existential threat

imo, if someone believes some races or ethnicities are genetically inferior to others, that person has revealed a weakness of mind and character that casts extreme if not irrefutable doubt on their other ideas. why would i expect them to use more rigor on, eg, housing than they do on human nature?
