Well, I asked my mom if she and my dad went to the caucuses:

"Nope. We didn't want to get COVID."

Excellent point. If you're a Republican who knows COVID is no joke, the last thing you want to do is hang out with other Republicans. 🤣🤣🤣

@taylorlorenz It can be all of the above. We know Putin and other state actors are doing their best to sow chaos and confusion whatever way they can. The Israeli-Palestine conflict is just one thing they can use no matter what the truth is.

We need to make it a top priority that Trump and the Republicans are removed from power. They are posed to make the Israeli-Palestine conflict seem like nothing and like the rise in Hitler lead to WWII, the rise of Trump will lead to WWIII

@tultican #TheHeadLiar told the truth when he said the Republican Party is dead, replaced by (anti-Democratic, anti-constitution, pro- fascist) MAGA (Shitballs)- ready to fuck up our lives if we let them. 😬

By this point
in the pandemic
you should understand
that contracting the virus
is not a moral failing
but is instead evidence
of our society’s failings
though this does not free you
from the obligation
to protect yourself and others.

My aunt, the doctor,
told me a new joke,
she asked:

How bad
is the pandemic
right now?

I said I did not know.
So she answered:

It’s so bad, that today,
the head of the CDC
said “We’re seeing
a lot of virus
circulating right now.”

And neither of us laughed.

The U.S. plans to put the #Houthis back on its list of foreign terrorist organizations, after months of attacks by the rebel group in the Red Sea -WSJ

Excellent from @sykescharlie: "Over the next months as anti-anti-Trump commentators make their transition back to rationalization and appeasement, they will assure us the Senate will serve as a check on Trump’s excesses and predations."

TL; DR: It won't.

Red🩸states reject immigration reform that'd allow more immigrants willing to do the work with dignity. Instead, elected leaders insist on employing children💔, which is illegal in many cases. Will the DOL enforce the regulations?

The right-wing think tank set 30 policy priorities, including removing barriers to have 14- and 15-year-olds join the labor force.

A reminder that the Martinsville school district paid Paul Clement $100,000 — not big for him, but no small sum for a school district — to convince the justices to take the bathroom ban case and uphold their ban. With today’s SCOTUS orders, he failed. lawdork.com/p/supreme-court-in

What about that time you said you got excluded from a kids’ beauty contest for being brown?

Or that time you said your dad was profiled at a market because of his turban?

#NikkiHaley: "We've never been a racist country"

@mekkaokereke

"we own the traditional media, so we don't fear it. those rotten kids use that tok-tik thingie and might actually vote and not listen to us; that's the real threat" -- the usual rich white folks/suspects...

@mekkaokereke

To be fair, it is the GOP and "mainstream" media that are aiming to ban TikTok. I think it is a diversion so we won't talk about Facebook, Xhitter and YouTube where the real issues are.

MAGA GOP voters face a choice -
Cheney notes, “My view is I disagree with a lot of Joe Biden’s policies. We can survive bad policies. We cannot survive torching the Constitution.” wapo.st/3O12Bsr #Politics

@DemocracyMattersALot In a sense Haley is right. It's not that trump supporters are JUST racists. They are misogynists too!
Haley has related stories about how racism affected her and her immigrant family. She's conveniently "forgotten" about her own experiences.
