Whether we are talking about the (party formerly know as the) GoP or police or any group at all, the whole "one bad apple" defense is wrong on it's face.

The whole point of the bad apple proverb is that if you find one you know there are more.

@620ed962cdc2422 @YouTubeTV Thank you

Your weekly reminder that raising interest rates is a huge mistake.

The Fed assumes inflation is being driven by wage increases. But wage growth has lagged behind inflation.

You know what’s a real driver of inflation? Monopolistic corporations hiking prices to maximize profits.

We are not living in a "post-pandemic" world.

@ChiTown_Burgh If Ukraine falls, Russia will look at another invasion. That’s what happened when we didn’t respond after Russia invaded Georgia and Crimea. We emboldened Putin. If Russia invades a NATO country, that increases chances of nuclear war. That’s why we need to stop Russia in Ukraine.

@byelacey on the other hand ... what if the whole Jesus thing is real, and you've spent your life persecuting everyone who didn't conform to your beliefs?
I mean, as a tolerant Agnostic (edging ever closer to Atheism) I think I'm in a better position than the average Christian™

@CarolineDohack @StateofKate @lindsaydevon @byJudeDoyle Same thing happened to me. I suspect it has to do with not being in proximity to the kid for hours every day.

Dear NPR I don't give a sh*t about what evangelicals and Catholics think about the Roe disaster.

I know we’re all distracted, but there is still a pandemic happening.

Many physicians/scientists I respect are alarmed about the BA5 variant. Israel is reportedly seeing a huge increase in ICU admissions. The variant is the most transmissible and immune evasive yet.

Last night I was on @CNN Tonight, commenting on the hearings. I made the point that those who testified should have spoken out BEFORE January 6th. I’m afraid I might have come off as pissed. Because I am.

The people who Trump victimized the most — through his endless grift and blatant lies — were his own supporters.

For everyone shocked that Putin has made it illegal to tell the truth about the war in Ukraine, remember that there are states in the U.S. that have made it illegal to tell the truth about the Civil War.

Raise your hand if you still think we need a ban on Congressional stock trading.

Oil prices have dropped.
Gas prices remain high.
That means one thing:
Big oil is price gouging us.

BLAME BIG OIL.

With the Women’s Health Protection Act vote:

Americans saw the glaring contrast between Democrats fighting to protect women’s rights, and MAGA Republicans pushing to send mothers and doctors to jail and institute abortion bans

This vote was just one step. We will keep fighting.

I am so tired of the experts who've already written off the midterms based on 2020 results and history. Humans live in these districts. People with real problems. If stats were all that mattered we wouldn't have playoffs in sports. We have 6 months to fight and win. Get to work.

In remembrance of today’s tragic milestone, I’ve ordered the United States flag to be flown at half-staff in memory of the one million American lives lost to COVID-19.
