One of the most profound effects Trump has had on Congress is that he convinced a giant portion of GOP voters that the establishment guys who fall in line are the heroes and the constitutional conservatives who challenge the system are the villains.
@RepTimBurchett This is not the time for partisanship as both sides have entirely too much proximity to this filth. The only sides now are those who want justice, and those who want to protect power. The American people will not forgive those who chose the latter.
@emilyjashinsky That was some fun ass propaganda though. Best big dumb action movie in a minute and not some tired recycled IP. Make Empire Great Again.
@TOEwithCurt We invent symbolic frameworks like notation, models, and formal systems. But the relationships we describe, such as symmetry, invariance, or prime distribution, are discovered. The mistake is confusing our descriptive tools with the structure of reality.
@patrickbetdavid The most true thing of Iran/Persia. It gets conquered a lot and has a lot of revolutions. Despite this, it always remains uniquely Persian.
@andrew_burchard It might’ve that the ones who crossed party lines to work in his administration end up doing the most because they’ve already been ostracized and don’t care any more.
This is excellent. We need a broad antiwar coalition in this country, from Thomas Massie to AOC, Dave Smith to Cenk Uygur, Rand Paul to Bernie Sanders, Ro Khanna to MTG, Tucker Carlson to Glenn Greenwald, Ron Paul to Dennis Kucinich, and so many more! Tag people in this coalition below.
@davidbazan@all_ages@LingoMayhem That is to say, there’s a ton of artists that I agree with at any given moment, even if I disagree with that exact stance later. What’s more, 46 year old me might even understand and even respect the stance I vehemently disagree with. 18 year old me was less capable of that.
@davidbazan@all_ages@LingoMayhem I think everyone who dares to say something publicly deserves the right to be wrong, misunderstood, or even grow up publicly. I know who I am at 46 is way different than the 18 year old kid who first heard a bootlegged Whole EP tape in ‘97.
@davidbazan How susceptible we are to moral certainty and confident expression. I don’t ever need to hear a RATM song that is nuanced or morally ambiguous. On the other hand, don’t mind it so much from say a Radiohead or Pedro song.
