My absolute favorite part of this conversation is that I was accused of being both woke and a secret conservative within the span of an hour. I love that people will never stop trying to push me into cliques and camps. Good luck everyone. Good luck

I don't know what to tell you, I love a good shitpost
POOR JD! HIS SWEET BELOVED COUCH NOW COSTS MORE WITH THE TARIFFS!

Using this page more lately so I should be clear that I consider myself to be neither liberal nor conservative. Politically aware and active but not wanting to associate with the larger Zeitgeist. I hope I'm your friend and fellow American. And I hope I take some good pictures

I'm in it for the larger conversation. I think our epistemology and communication has fallen off a cliff and I want nothing more than for us to all have a civil dialogue about tough issues. I'm full of critiques but want to focus on understanding each other better

I don't care what anyone says, this is funny.
Just like we drew it up.

The real headline here is that background checks work It's been like pulling teeth convincing particular advocates this is the case. Glad this is becoming a mainstream opinion

I wish we were all a little more willing to negotiate like this. If we were, I believe wholeheartedly we would have things like free to access postsecondary education
I will trade voter ID for making Election Day a federal holiday.

Greenwald's thread is really warming me up to Ilhan Omar. I initially shied away due to a perception of a lack of focus on substantive issues The issues below are very substantive and I have an immediate respect for politicians being willing to give due credit to the other party
I'm never going to tire of saying that @IlhanMN is easily the most independent-minded and heterodox of the Squad members and one of the most in the entire Dem caucus. Listen to her here: for this new Church Committee to succeed, it has to have some bipartisan support:

Just adding this to my list of interesting definitions. Not sure everyone is aware that things like political ideology are being considered If I'm an atheist and a school is giving religious teachings, I wonder if that would qualify. Im guessing it might but need to start asking
It won't work. Grooming is a behavior most people hate, and it's core feature is isolating children from their parents and pulling them into a cult mindset.

I wish I could find a political philosophy that respected the furthest right maga to the furthest left woke. While still being able to be critical of all ideologies. Loving the individuals first and then engaging in the great debate. I currently know of no such movement.

Interesting definition that doesn't appear to include pedophilia but rather focuses on the aspect of indoctrinating kids We should probably all be asking each other what is meant when the word comes up.
.@Mario_Presents explains grooming to groomer “journalist.”
Finding myself getting real frustrated by partisanship and divisiveness today so probably a good time to log off
Dumbest man on Earth thinks I'm MAGA for daring to suggest QAnon on might not be like Isis. If you don't hate the other side, you ARE the other side
Dude...you ARE the bad guys.
I'm sick of Snowball the cockatoo showing all of us up
Only vocal learning species can learn how to dance. A surprising fact that I learned from my recent conversation with Dr. @ErichJarvis hubermanlab.com/dr-erich-jar…
I'm not in your creepy war against my fellow citizens.

Another intuition down the drain
Replying to @ACLU
Despite Kyle Rittenhouse’s conscious decision to travel across state lines and injure one person and take the lives of two people protesting the shooting of Jacob Blake by police, he was not held responsible for his actions. Unfortunately, this is not surprising.

Complete lunacy. Does @MSNBCDaily or @BarbMcQuade you have any issues with how deeply misinformed their audience is? Or are we trying to put a kid away for life for fun
Lol. Compadre, he lives in Illinois. Illinois is not Wisconsin. He left his house, with a killing weapon he wasn’t legally allowed to posses. 🤡 I’m assuming he wasn’t on his way to a deer hunting excursion the middle of summer.

I really wish my fellow liberals would not abandon their principles like don't attack people in the street & advocate that a good guy with a gun should be the one to intervene and get tough on crime To say nothing of skepticism of a corrupt prosecutorial system Embarrassing
So sad to unfollow a man I used to have so much respect for. I will not become cruel and unfair like this article.
The singular animating force in the modern GOP is white supremacy. History tells us that when such a party prevails, things end in a very, very ugly way. So, what will the GOP do? How is it to survive? Will it reinvent itself or take America down? hartmannreport.com/p/how-wil…
Or, hear me out on this, maybe advocating for lighting shit on fire as a standard/legitimate form of protest is a really bad idea.

I think I'm just raging into the void at this point. Let's all just try to find a way to love each other.
