As a rule, I block only bad actors who should not see what I post and I mute accounts who are querulous or abusive. People with whom I disagree are free to interact with me: a lively but respectful exchange of thoughts is the best use of social media. That way we might sort out the Ga'aza donations.

Why, it's almost as if those mayors had no penal laws that they swore to uphold! It's almost as if they're wanting to conform in advance…

"Red" and "blue" are two sides to the same coin.

The maroons were not lost. They escaped from their captors. Same thing happened in Suriname.

The Dems use the abuses of the GOP to define new high-water marks for both parties to take advantage of – when it's their turn, they don't roll 'em back. Remember Louis DeJoy, sent in to dismantle the USPS? Biden kept him in until he finished his job.

The story of Marie Perez is a lesson in where a “Vote Blue No Matter Who” approach takes you. When you uncritically support Democrats regardless of policy, you end up ratcheting to the right, election after election, off the cliff into fascism.

The Betrayals of Marie Gluesenkamp Perez

The representative from Washington has been hailed as the future of Democratic politics. But for those of us who actually live in her district, she’s just more of the same.

Make them uncomfortable everywhere they go. Put the pressure on U-Haul. Get the USDOT number off the rental and report it to the company.

It looks like the MAGAttes are "shooting the moon" – they must stay in power indefinitely, otherwise they will all be disbarred and imprisoned.

You actually made me check the calendar.

I credit the rise of the Bush Family Wehrmacht (Reagan admin) as a major inflection point. But, yeah, the Dulles boys and J. Edgar should be acknowledged as well … maybe even the Pinkertons from the 1890s … or just capitalism in general.

Adolf's goal was to reunify the German-speaking people into one country and to save them from what he saw as enslavement to the international bankers. Donny's goal is simply to use people for his own ends and then throw them away.
Not saying either should be a desideratum for us.
