Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

We still have time to mess this up!

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

In my day, never was longer.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Come on, man.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

The revolution will be supervised.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

This is amazing…a font created entirely out of gerrymandered districts:

 

Go here for a proper, high resolution image of the font, and the chance, if you’re so minded, to download it for free.

Here, by the way, is my first composition in this latest gem in the long history of typography:

It’s all a hoot — but it hurts too much to laugh.

    I just mentioned downstairs that you had commented on the twitter thread that you wanted to FP this on BJ. Glad you did — it is brilliant and inspired!

    @CincyPD confirms one arrest made tonight. Dallas Frazier is charged with assault after punching a protester. I spoke with the man assaulted. He’s getting checked out at the hospital.

    Police have *not* confirmed Dallas is a Trump supporter. Several witnesses told me he is. @WLWT pic.twitter.com/Z2todkEdIu

    Angry Black Woman ??
    Phuck Outta Here ? ?

    Are you kidding me? At what point did @KamalaHarris lose her cool? First she’s too confident — now she’s an angry black woman. https://t.co/KVXT1ApmrJ

    I feel like I need to say this because a lot of white people dont seem to understand this point.

    Having sex with black people does not absolve you of racist behavior.

    Having a black or brown spouse, child, or friend is not a shield for you hide behind.

    @rikyrah:

    I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, but it still stuns me that they continue to nominate people for senior positions without, apparently, doing a scrap of vetting.

    Manhattan DA #CyVance is doing the most to not seem like the corrupt tool that he is and make us forget that he let Epstein slide for pedophilia and Ivanka and Don Jr slide on real estate fraud… https://t.co/xhLcLYg9DQ

    Acknowledge the achievements and then build on them. Expand the possibilities that Barack made available. Do NOT attack the good faith, tough choices made then for short term, ultimately harmful, political gain now. As Democrats we need to be proud and be smart. https://t.co/2ajh7BuTpD

    @rikyrah: You would think this would be obvous. As tens of thousands in the antebellum South showed, including Thomas Jefferson, having sex with a black person is compatible with believing blacks should be property that can be bought, sold and raped with impunity. As Strom Thurmond showed, having sex with a black person is compatible with running for President as a protest against stuff like Truman desegregating the army.

    The Trumpsters never do any background checking beyond absolute loyalty to the master. Cause nobody dares to be the bringer of bad news to the master.

    @rikyrah: Kamala is black and female, so of course her enemies will declare her to be angry as well. To right-wingers, any black woman who dares to express justifiable anger in measured tones in Angela Davis.

    that’s what The Vault (bka M&T Bank Stadium in Bawlmer Merlin Hon) resounded with on the many occasions when he made a stellar play.

    @rikyrah: Cy Vance was reelected in 2017 for a four year term. The pressure on him should be to resign. Outside of that it’s 2021 before an opponent against him matters.

    @rikyrah: I remember baseball great and Omaha native Bob Gibson caught a lot of flack for titling his autobiography From Ghetto to Glory. But then reality has always gotten in the way of popular sentiment.

    @SRW1: The inability of der Trumpenführer’s DNI nominee to pass a background check tells us something, but even when the obvious conclusion is screamed at them, his minions pretend not to hear.

    @tokyokie:

    his minions pretend not to hear.

    Because it’s not relevant. The Trump Presidency is white America’s primal whine. Are they getting their way? That is the question that matters to them, not what that way is.

    Kangerlussuaq and the bridge in 2012, in what were then new images of (what was then) high melt, from the Advanced Land Imager on the NASA EO-1 satellite. (The slider compares May 31 2012 to July 12 2012.) https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/78685/flooding-in-kangerlussuaq-greenland
    The bridge was wiped out by the flooding and rebuilt.

    Hey, wait a minute, some of those letters are two districts put together.
    But on closer inspection, some of those two district letters are made up of two very weirdly shaped districts.
    But few made up of two districts, hard to tell if each district is outrage or not.

    @jl:

    I noticed that some were two districts too, and felt, not defrauded, but something like that. Sad that there are any districts that could be used for this, tho!!!

    Actually the Arizona 6th isn’t all that terribly gerrymandered, because Arizona (since a voter initiative in 2001) has an independent non-partisan commission to draw the districts. (and how the R-controlled lege howled and gnashed their teeth about it in 2011) which is why Arizona actually has competitive congressional districts…
