@criquaer @dougiec3 Let us not forget doors. Doors need to swing both directions. You cannot pull open a door and then drive in.

No. Tim Scott is not the answer to the Republican’s needs. He does not have an original thought in his head.

There were multiple-casualty shootings yesterday in Dadeville, Alabama, and Louisville, Kentucky.

In 2020, Alabama's homicide rate was 14.2 per 100,000. Kentucky's was 9.5. Yet House Republicans are having their violent crime hearing Monday in New York--where the rate was 4.7.

@JaneRLaForge I spent the majority of my career teaching high school. They understand (or are capable of learning to understand) sarcasm. In many ways they’re easier to deal with than undergrads.

@lloydian @otownKim @cautionarytale@mastodon.world I just want to see more of that, more often.

@MSNBC Why isn't Grassley being asked to Retire as well??????

@lloydian @cautionarytale@mastodon.world I frequently say the same thing.

Sadly the key word here is “some.” I would love a major movement of Christians to actually promote the message of “The Sermon on the Mount,” but a national progressive group getting other progressive people to express disapproval of hard right wingers is, well, preaching to the choir.

I am atheist, and I marvel at how often I’m clearly more Christian than so many Christians.

@JaneRLaForge You’re right. It’s the oldest argument in . I’ve avoided it by teaching anything EXCEPT elementary. Now I’m tutoring elementary students in literacy and the ones being taught only phonetics are suffering.

@AlliFlowers For me, and so many others, the only way to even THINK there are any remaining decent Christians is for this to happen more. For now my motto is "There is no greater Hate than christian love"

Fact: After wearing masks and practicing social distancing, the number of flu cases went way down.

Normal conclusion: This proves that wearing masks and social distancing can dramatically reduce the spread of diseases.

Republican conclusion: This proves that all the so-called “COVID-19” cases were really just the regular flu falsely identified! IT'S A CONSPIRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Conservatives: Liberals criticized me just because I said something racist! That is an attack on my free speech rights!

Also conservatives: The government won’t let us ban books that say things we don’t agree with, so we are shutting down libraries entirely.

Holy sweet [bad word] [bad word]. What the [bad word] is wrong with these people? How is it possible to be that stupid and evil?

Conservative Christians accuse LGBT of being “groomers” in the desperate hope you won’t notice who the actual pedophiles are.

I no longer say things like "this law is blatantly unconstitutional in more ways than I can count, so the courts will shred it like a frog in a blender" because I just don't have that kind of confidence in the American judicial system anymore.
