So sadly funny

#BREAKING Thousands of rightwing activists from covid-blighted interior of oil-rich US descend on coastal capital, Washington DC, to protest use of vote counting to determine election winners. Many fear math's Islamist roots may foreshadow secret plan to introduce Sharia Law.

The fact that cops can take a still from a video and identity a partial tee shirt logo and track it to Etsy to find the person who set a police car on fire should tell you that it’s not that they couldn’t find your stolen property, they just don’t work for you.

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

For the record: cops aren’t supposed to kill guilty people either.

@mrs_socialista Well... I mean, maybe we could try that method for a couple decades?

@SilERabbit The Dems propping him up just to beat Bernie is really elder abuse. Joe should be in a memory care unit somewhere

Something I've learned while in law school is about the social construction of crime. I work in a legal clinic on wage theft cases, where employers have "improperly paid" workers by not paying, paying below min wage, withholding overtime, paid sick time, etc. 1/

@adamkotsko They want to lose. The goal is to be the loyal opposition, who get to enrich themselves just as much, but don’t have to be hated as much and don’t have to do the hard work of actually ruling.

The more I think about the idea I heard yesterday the more I like it: <50 = full vote, 50+ to 70 1/2 vote, 70+ no vote. “You’re going home at 10, you don’t get to pick the next bar we go to” 👍🏼💯

Wow! Scale helps perspective so much!

@HeatherGautney @JoeBiden Nothing at all. Maybe less than that. But, since I expect him to be languishing in some memory care hospice within months, I guess it will depend on who he picks as his running mate

The Trump campaign just released a cease and desist letter demanding that TV stations immediately pull this @prioritiesUSA ad. So obv share it everywhere!

"One thing this catastrophe is teaching us is that, in a pandemic, no one is well—and that thus far the rules of the pandemic are simply the rules of capitalism, accelerated."

@adamkotsko Same percentage that thinks Neoliberalism is something the liberals did

[Jacobin @jacobin]

Ilhan Omar grilling Elliott Abrams on Iran-Contra and the US's role in the 1981 El Mozote Massacre is a thing to behold.

Omar: I fail to understand why this committee should find any testimony you give today to be truthful.
Abrams: If I could respond—
Omar: It wasn't a question.

@Atrios How about stop Sorkin. And make baby hitlers parents have a really really bad first date...

Elected Democrats are continually misunderstanding the conflict they’re in. The modern Republican party will never cooperate w you. They are plotting to destroy you and hurt the people who elected you. Focus on protecting people, not trying to earn bipartisanship merit badges.
