.@KelseyTuoc has penned a brilliant piece on the Southern Surge, and she had me at the headline:
“Illiteracy is a policy choice.” Amen.
Your must-read article for the week:
Yes, there have been some rightwing nuts who have committed violence against the left. But this is not a both sides issue.
This is about one side, the side the data says has the most mentally unwell people, constantly using the platforms of the press and politicians to decry their opponents as Nazis, racists, fascists, bigots, and authoritarians out to destroy the country.
This is about the worriers on CNN, MSNBC, NPR, etc. who claim the right is rolling back rights and Trump is an authoritarian.
This is about the Democrat politicians who call for "fighting fire with fire."
This is about the leftwing activists who have cheered on violence. This is about the leftwing politicians who have championed violence for trans rights, made excuses for violence, etc.
This is about those on the left who said tax cuts would get people killed, Net Neutrality would get people killed, and medical reform would get people killed.
This is about those in the press and left who, even this week, falsely said the Supreme Court had given Trump permission to deport people just based on their ethnicity, which is a lie.
There are crazy and violent people on both sides, but only one side has the mainstream media, politicians, Hollywood celebrities, and more fueling the madness and poisoning the minds of activists on the left.

They were the beginning. It keeps getting worse.
Yep, a crazy guy in Minnesota killed two Democratic politicians. But there were two assassination attempts on Trump. Two Israeli embassy workers were killed. A CEO was killed, and kids in multiple Christian schools were murdered.
Do we really have to keep a body count for both sides?
How about stop convincing progressive activists who already say they're suffering from despair from turning to violence as the way to stop their political opponents?

This is hyperbole and fear-mongering at its worst. We will still have a Democrat-led legislature, which would not send any bills resembling these to the Governor's desk. A Republican in office would only serve as a check to a legislature thirsty for more power.

Texas has effectively banned a woman’s right to choose.
Passed the worst voter suppression law in the country.
And continue to push anti-science COVID laws that put lives at risk.
This could be the future of CA if we don’t vote NO on the Republican Recall by 9/14.
VOTE.

The downfall of Michael Avenatti was obvious many miles away. Well, to everyone except the mainstream media.
With the news of Avenatti’s sentencing, I thought it was time to go down memory lane for some of the best Avenatti takes. ⤵️
Nothing in today’s political environmental pisses me off more than covert racism – telling a Black man or woman how they should feel re: policy. POC are allowed to make their own decisions w/out elitists shaming them for their beliefs re: their community.
ICYMI: This morning, I joined @CNN to discuss the importance of diverse thought and political ideology in the Congressional Black Caucus. As a young Black man born into the inner city, my perspective and conservative ideals should be welcomed to the CBC, not ignored. Watch below.
I agree w/ the anger at @SenTedCruz but why is this so newsworthy? Remember...
-Newsom at the French Laundry
-CA Dems going to HI
-Pelosi and her hair
-SJ Mayor and Thanksgiving
