@DCCyclone Sorry her posts are obviously accurate but the "russian accent" is a pretty wild insinuation

There is no Nobel prize for journalism. A journalist from Belarus, Svletlana Alexandrovitch won the Nobel prize for literature in 2015 for documentation of soviet historic experiences and oppression.

I'd argue we're all being tested

[Daniel Dale @ddale8]

Pence says 5.1 million Americans have been tested.

@gelliottmorris CO seems too close imo what's the driver there?

Look, I desperately want @JoeBiden to beat Trump. Of course I do. But I don’t want him to foment racist scapegoating. And I want him to build a platform all of us can fight for, and in carrying it out for us once he is in office. Once again, this ain’t it.

@ZachWeiner Reasons and Persons is the revolutionary standard in the field

This is still better than my worst case 2016 scenario and still better than a second term will be.

[Rebecca Nagle @rebeccanagle]

Our country didn’t pass the Voting Rights Act, the Civil Rights Act or Medicaid & Medicare because one person was elected President.

We passed those policies because of people-led movements.

[Lucretius S. Pepones @Lucretius4]

@AsInMarx Great I support court packing. But your claim is Trump and Biden have the same position and impact on court appointments. That's trivially wrong if you care about Native Americans.

[Lucretius S. Pepones @Lucretius4]

@AsInMarx The argument isnt vote Joe and well control the court. Its vote Joe to keep things from going full Lochner era and preserve a chance at a future takeover.

[Lucretius S. Pepones @Lucretius4]

@AsInMarx No. It's about appointing replacements for RBG and Breyer. That affects any of these 5/4 decisions (criminal justice, tribal sovereignty, racial gerrymandering). It is a difference from Trump and worth voting on.

[Lucretius S. Pepones @Lucretius4]

@AsInMarx But tribal nations have been benefited by those decisions. While I'm sure you're right, Gorsuch at least isnt just going full manifest destiny. That matters a great deal. I dont know why you won't acknowledge that thst matters

[Lucretius S. Pepones @Lucretius4]

@AsInMarx I'm saying they get sick in 21 or 22 which seems plausible with current projections

[Lucretius S. Pepones @Lucretius4]

@AsInMarx What about Virginia House of Delegates v. Bethune-Hill?

[Lucretius S. Pepones @Lucretius4]

@AsInMarx I mean in the age of coronavirus?

[Lucretius S. Pepones @Lucretius4]

@AsInMarx @Henry_ALong In 24 is a major risk either of retirement or losing. But then again hell maybe we win AK or KS because Senate races are sometimes very idiosyncratic

[Lucretius S. Pepones @Lucretius4]

@AsInMarx @Henry_ALong And Manchin of course.
