Someone asked me why this Virginia special election matters if I don't live there. Because the House majority is built seat by seat — and Virginia is where we fight back right now.

Dolly Parton gave the world unforgettable music and a beautiful example of using her gifts to serve others. Through the Imagination Library, she helped Arkansas children dream beyond their circumstances. Her talent made her a star; her generosity made her a light. Rest well, Dolly. 🕊️

Starting to suspect that, contra the dominant mainstream narrative, what motivates the conservative movement is not a desire to reduce antisemitism.
NEWS: GOP candidate in NY-19 posted a photo of his grandfather in a full Nazi uniform, swastikas and all, on Veterans Day w/ the caption "I salute all who served." Oberacker sat on the GOP's antisemitism working group and already had to fire his campaign manager over the "I love Hitler" group chat.

All these white people doing mental gymnastics to tell us that they think a mediocre fraud doing pseudoscience & lynching a Black man because, in his OWN words, he wanted to start a revolution against Black people & head the race science & eugenics department at Harvard after the "revolution."
Yes, I support academic freedom for racism, eugenics, Maoism, a belief in violence for its own sake, Murder Jason Lee Byas Thought, support for ISIS, support for total human extinction, and whatever else you have in mind.
"Academic freedom but just for good people" is not a practicable principle.

I'd say about 80% of America's current problems stem from the warnings of Black people not being heeded historically.

A new law will allow any voter to get a mail ballot; the state had fallen far behind national norms by still requiring an excuse. The reform runs counter to Trump’s attacks on mail voting.
