Dormant account. Now at @jrobin.bsky.social. Once a teacher at UNC-CH's j-school and editor of the News & Record.

Idolatry is a sin, Congressman, and I don’t think God heard your prayer.

I'm marking this account as dormant as I move to Bluesky. It's been nice interacting for the past 17 years. Join me @jrobin.bsky.social. Same tune, different label.

@kaitlancollins Well, she did shoot her own dog so I guess she’s qualified

OK, editorial columnists: Please stop telling us why Harris lost. Start telling us what all these rightwing appointees really mean to us.

Trump has now reaffirmed his plan to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education. For the record that department funds, among other things, all the special education and special needs program in public schools and public colleges in all 50 states.

@SenTedBuddNC Trump dishonors what those vets fought for

@JaneMayerNYer FWIW, I just moved to bluesky. Better than others from what I can tell.

Unless you're a billionaire or you're a young, blond, pretty woman, the president-elect doesn't care about you. You're about to find that out.

@RepGregMurphy @Oprah As opposed to your guy, who didn't pay his bills and has a history of bilking people who work for them.

[John Robinson @johnrobinson]

I'm easing my way off this site and over to Bluesky. If you're there, let me know. And if you like, please join me at @jrobin.bsky.com

It’s a cult

[Pam Keith, Esq. @PamKeithFL]

An under vote, is a ballot that has a vote for POTUS but the rest of the ballot is blank.

Trump’s margin in EVERY swing state appears to be based entirely on under votes.

That’s not just weird, it’s utterly implausible.

Based on several days now of reading and watching pundits' opinions about the election, I can confirm the saying that “All newspaper editorial writers ever do is come down from the hills after the battle is over and shoot the wounded."

[John Robinson @johnrobinson]

Starting to move to bsky. For me, it’s a process, trying to remember & find all the people I want to follow there. Daunting, really, if not exhausting. It’ll take a moment. Anyway: @[email protected]

Voters fooled around & they’re going to find out.

“Mr. Zogby said many of those voters backed the former president to protest the Biden administration’s support for Israel in the war in Gaza, not to affirm his campaign.”

Voters fooled around and are going to find out.
“the National Retail Federation argued that Mr. Trump’s proposed tariffs on apparel, toys, furniture, appliances, footwear and travel goods alone would cost consumers an extra $46 billion to $78 billion a year.”

@ByMikeBaker Like the start of an environmental apocalypse documentary

[Kurt Andersen @KBAndersen]

From 1993 to 2019, before covid and its special migration-limiting rules, the Administration with the fewest removals of undocumenteds by far was...Trump's, fewer than 400K a year. Under Obama it was 600K, 1.25M under Bush, 1.5M under Clinton.

The politics of fantasy and lies.

“Expansions of school vouchers, despite backing from wealthy conservatives, have never won when put to voters. Instead, they lose by margins not often seen in such a polarized country.”
