Grew up in Little Rock. Despite that, I'm a liberal. Lives in the Atlanta area and post about politics, music, the Razorbacks, Red Sox, and food. Among other things. Friday is my 2nd favorite F word. Go see some live music.

Hey @cnn.com So you ran off Jim Acosta because you wanted to put him on the graveyard shift when no one watches. He was one of the very few people you have that actually asks questions and gets answers. When are you changing your logo to FoxNews? Oh, how's that subscription thing going for you?

A crucial, urgent read in this moment of fascist acceleration:
“Williams penetrated a new generation of paramilitary leaders, which included doctors, career cops and government attorneys… It was a world where a man would propose assassinating politicians, only to spark a debate about logistics.”

A Mole Infiltrated the Highest Ranks of American Militias. This Is What He Found.
Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends....

If people want to have a better understanding about a lot of what is going on with the GQP and the hard line Christain conservatives, I highly recommend that you read American Theocracy by Kevin Phillips. We are well on our way to becoming one.

Groups like Moms for Liberty need to portray their right-wing vision of parenthood as "normal," and their opponents as weird elitist deviants. It's statistically the exact opposite!

The right wants to cast itself as the "party of parents." Its vision of parenthood is objectively unpopular.
