Long time Episcopal Priest + long time academic librarian. Mostly retired White guy who's learned a lot since coming to pastor a black congregation 8 years ago.
A senile sociopath prevailed in the 2024 presidential election by winning a large majority of the votes of Americans who have not attended college. Here’s why we need to fix our universities.
@BakareSebastian Happy birthday to Sebastian Bakare, my friend since I was in seminary. Whose life illustrates how to live with joy & integrity no matter the political outcome.

@joshtpm My cousin was in the Marines, repairing radios in DaNang. He started reacting to mortar attacks like that and the Marines sent him home and wouldn't let him reenlist IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VIETNAM WAR!
@emptywheel We should also not assume that he will be good or even organized in this (even when he knowingly enters criminal conspiracies, he flits from one to another, making conspirators compete with one another)
The militias taking the field shouldn't count on timely reinforcements.
Fascism has been on the rise in the United States as never before over the past eight years. Here is why we spent those eight years mostly writing articles about the dangers of wokeness at American universities.
@Laurieluvsmolly@srl These settlements are almost always confidential. We KNOW that Gateway Pundit making this exact statement was one of the terms. There was probably also money.
@peggy_gabour@srl This is accountability. The negotiated settlement included this statement and (I'm sure) financial compensation. Moss & Freeman would have ended up owning Gateway Pundit and its trademarks if it had gone to trial, but that would have taken forever with uncertain results.
How do I know? I sat and talked to a fire chief in a tiny town on top of a mountain yesterday and didn’t realize I was on one of the FEMA disaster relief sites. A couple folks with badges; but you could easily go, grab supplies, and leave w/o knowing it’s being supported by FEMA
@emptywheel To your point: Hurricane Sandy hit New York City on October 29. That was perhaps late in the season. My wife went to Columbus OH to help GOTV for the election. Hearing she was from NYC the staffer said,"Those poor people in Staten Island! How will they vote?"

@benelou @Lulubobcat1 Sometimes the oppo research is done and quietly passed through channels so it comes out from unaffiliated outlets without it being known it was oppo research.
Opinion | Kamala Harris seems to think she can just inherit the presidency from Biden. But no one should ever just inherit an important job.

@joshtpm@TPM Why would it be a headfake instead of the GOP/Trump trying to avoid some of the effect of a barrage of Dem super pac ads capitalizing on particularly despicable stuff on Robinson that are now in writing?
Some on the far-right are desperately trying to find ONE case of a migrant eating cats/dogs to "prove" that MIGRANTS (plural) are doing the same - which would be like finding one MAGA person who committed a violent crime to prove all Trump supporters are criminals. 1/2
