Roberts, like many conservatives of his generation, believes enforceable standards to prevent discrimination against Black people in employment, schooling, housing, or the electoral process are an affront to liberty, while the actual discrimination is, if it even exists, the natural order of things

I knew an Iraqi Army battalion commander who used to pay his soldiers to visit local brothels also frequented by Iranian agents who were also very talkative with the ladies. Then they’d get a visit.

Look at the proliferation of historical misinformation spewing from one solitary man at the U. The damage he continues to inflict on the national public’s memory is not small. And it cannot be ignored.

Me, at a naval museum, reading a display about sea mammals being trained to do recovery work:

“Oh! Look! It says here that dolphins train for 5-7 years. It’s like they get a PhD!”

[reads further]

“Oh…no. Never mind. It also says that ‘naval animals learn through positive reinforcement.’”

ultimately all wurman has to fall back on is an appeal to authority and to credentials. it is demonstrative of how *he* does not care about the facts as such, and is in this game as a way to burnish himself and raise his profile

On Confederate Surrender Day, I give you the Liberator's take on Jefferson Davis: "We believe Jefferson Davis to be the worst man in all history. He was a repudiator and slaveholder. He has been a secessionist, a traitor and rebel....He has sedulously endeavored to subvert our free institutions."

"Rather than weaken Iran, Trump handed them control of a major international waterway and a lucrative new stream of revenue. And that’s in the positive scenario, where he doesn’t restart the war, digging deeper into a strategic hole."

Really well-argued rundown of how epic Trump's failure has been:

no reconciliation, just reconstruction

it’s why reconstruction was held back - reconciliation between north and south meant sacrificing a broad understanding, implementation, and enforcement of the reconstruction amendments on the alter of white supremacy

When we take back power, I do not want unity or healing, I want revenge.

I also don't want a lecture on "but that's just like Trump, he wanted revenge." He was wrong, we are right. It's different. Get a moral compass.

Revenge or sit down. Call it "justice" if you must, it's that too.
