Here’s a nice concept for the afternoon. If you base your estimate of the rate at which busses arrive at your bus-stop on your observations of busses, having a long period of observing no busses means it’s likely to be even longer until the next bus comes along

Pretty much why Dems always lose even when they win.
Dems are like, “we take institutions seriously so we’ll nominate Merrick Garland who will be meticulous and slow so no one will ever suspect him of political bias” and GOP is like “LOL MATT GAETZ AS AG”

Congratulations to everyone who made this happen. Hope that protest vote was worth it.

I kind of think it’s okay that the Sunday shows are not platforming anybody Black. White people did this, and white people have to answer their own evil. Black folks are just innocent bystanders to their violence and bullshit.

These conversations with my children are very rough. Not funny sitcom style stories anymore. They’re afraid, and I can’t tell them not to be.

I have been saying this for over two decades, but it could not be more acutely clear than it is now. This is the first step out of the hole. And until we take it, everything else is futile.

Everyone (on my, losing side of the aisle) is asking "can America be saved from Trump." I have a better question: Is America worth saving? My latest in the @thenation arrives at the conclusion that America deserves what's about to happen. thenation.com/article/politi…

Ironically, black women are the most reliable democratic voters…. But thanks to the total lack of fucking allies the Democratic Party coalition has manage to piss these people off in ways you probably can’t recover from in four years

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

Black people are relatively well prepared for what’s about to happen because it’s happened to us before. America has done this to us before. It’s just about to widen the aperture to a bunch of people who ain’t used to it.

Dems did everything we could to stop him last time. Restrain him. Keep things functioning *as normal.* I don’t think we should this time. He won. This is what the people voted for. This is what people want. They should get it. It’s the only way people will learn.
