Yeah, appealing to your relatively narrow base and alienating everyone else by enacting broadly unpopular policies is an absolutely brilliant political strategy.  This motherfucker is playing two-dimensional tic-tac-toe for sure.

You guys are big fans of the 1A until someone says something you brand ‘racist’ then you want to put them in jail.

Those of us with formal geological training, when we’re asked to talk about a natural analog for anthropogenic climate change, have to give some kind of answer. One of the most common analogs we give is the PETM; it is very obviously an event in which global warming occurred as a consequence of a massive amount of…

“based on seven stories the Post wrote about Sandmann in the aftermath”

If the intent of the original framers of the Constitution still held sway Clarence Thomas would still be livestock.

We live out in the country on a few acres. We never use fertilizers or pesticides, and I’ve planted bird and insect-friendly plants and put out bird feeders and nesting boxes. As a result, we have an unbelievable amount of birds. We have Flickers, Robins, Grackles, Bluebirds and other birds that feed off the bugs in…

i leave up patches of dandelions as long as i can before i mow. i dont have a green thumb and everything i try to grow dies.

While I think that the four suggestions given are good (in particular the Xerces Society does great work and I’m glad that they were linked) there is one fairly easy thing that consumers can do that wasn’t listed.

It’s so frustrating that most of the Democratic Party is incapable of recognizing bad faith in action.

Führer Fünfundvierzig knows only hate, lies, and greed. And that is a reflection of everyone that voted for him and still supports him to this day. This is the greater issue - 45 is transitory. Those people, that 37% +/- 5% are the true threat we face.

In this case, I don’t think it’s that they can’t recognize it, it’s that they’re paid not to. A significant portion of the Democratic party is just as beholden to the old guard and maintaining the status quo as the GOP. (To be clear: those establishment Democrats are still far preferable to the GOP, this is not a…

It’s so frustrating that most of the Democratic Party is incapable of recognizing bad faith in action. Even if any given elected Democrat thought that what Omar said was anti-Semitic (it wasn’t), they should’ve made it absolutely clear that only one party is the preferred party of actual anti-Semitic terrorists and…

You have trafficked in hate your whole life—against Jews, Muslims, Indigenous, immigrants, black people and more. I learned from people impacted by my words. When will you?

lol Nancy called Omar a bigot with Trump. Why are you mad at me for doing what the leader of the Democrats is doing?  She lets Trump off the hook by uniting with him to attack a young black Muslim congresswoman. Get a clue.   She’s the bigot.   She’s literally helping Trump call Democrats bigots.  

Criticizing the US government, politicians, and policies does not make you anti-American.

I do have higher hopes for the younger millennial generation as they’ve had to grow up and try to work in the extremely selfish and entitled world that the boomers carved out of their parents post-WWII efforts. There seems to be a larger understanding of social and economic impacts as well as a general attitude of…

They bought into his scam. That’s really not all that surprising, considering he’s a veteran scam artist/con-man. You might think they should know better (and really they should), but people often think they’re smarter than they really are. He told them what they wanted to hear - that politics was corrupt, but he…

Her party knew exactly what her intent was, they are just cowards. This could have been galvanizing moment where they actually tried to right the wrongs of the past, but they decide to bend the knee to moneyed interests.

Fox has the same problem the GOP has — people don’t love billionaires or what they want to do in politics.

It’s really interesting, seeing these tantrums Fox News is throwing, given their sudden reckoning with all of these policy beliefs, that they thought were in their favor, now gradually teetering in the other direction. Instead of discussing the actual ideas, they are attacking the people presenting them (this Bregman…
