Nothing is stopping every single Democratic elected official and apparatchik from taking the airwaves every single day to articulately and decisively repeat a set of cogent talking points about Trump (ie 45). Nothing. Dem PACs could be slamming him with ads now. Stop whining and do that.

Taylor vocally came out against Marsha Blackburn during that evil lady’s last senate race and Blackburn still won. I think we need to give up the (understandable) fantasy that pop stars can swoop in and save the day. This is very much just my opinion, I know. But I’m right.

That part. Both these mofos are desiccated husks that need to exit stage left! Someone said they both got dementia just two different kinds—one is quietly sun downing and the other is loud, belligerent and violent. Help!

Truly. There’s no clear cut answer. Every choice has an unsettling level of risk and doing nothing is also untenable.

this entire crusade against diversity in hiring and admissions is based on the supposition that all white men are necessarily more qualified than any nonwhite person or woman who might be considered for the job. like, this lawsuit more or less states that outright.

to add a little more here, it is not that economic anxiety is fake, it is that it cannot be neatly disentangled from racial anxieties. for instance, if you are doing well but see black people doing better, you may feel anxious on account of your internalized idea of what the racial order should be.

Some advice after 25 years of work in Egypt/living in AL: 1) Liquid IV is best electrolyte/salt hydration drink (or Pedialyte) 2)If overheated, cool shower, then colder bath (slow temp decrease) 3) Freeze bottles of water. Put between legs (crotch)+ under armpits+ at neck. Will cool blood rapidly

A tragic and abject mess! Given the partisan composition of the state you’d think NY would be an incubator of a lot of cutting edge left leaning/progressive policy ideas. Instead it’s nothing! Rebecca Traister wrote a great long read about Cuomo that highlighted a lot of the dysfunction.
