@sarahkendzior Proposed Trump epitaph:
He was a dumb man's smart man, a con man's honest man, a poor man's rich man, and a weak man's tough-guy.

‽ is called an 'interrobang.'
It is designed for use at the end of an exclamatory rhetorical question.
interro = interrogation point (the technical name for the question mark)
bang = printers' slang for the exclamation point.
Are you brave enough to use one in an email ‽‽

@randallharlow Lovely to return here after 1 1/2 yrs away to find amazing folks like @randallharlow releasing lovely things I had some part in making.
This recording was a joy to do & I'm glad some of the space, richness, and sonic inner life (11:50-17:55!) of Randall's playing comes through!

Now do Plessy vs Ferguson/Brown vs Board of Education.

Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.

@POTUS Now reinstate the assault weapons ban. Sign it this week, executive order.
We have to *flip the script* or nothing will ever happen, like last time & the time before that & the time before...
Citizens can't own tanks or bombs or napalm or nukes and they shouldn't own AR-15s.

I’ve called on Congress to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, but Senate Republicans have stood in the way of progress. That’s why this afternoon, I’m taking action and signing an Executive Order that delivers the most significant police reform in decades.

You have our solemn word that we will do everything within our power to prevent gorillas from escaping from the unlocked cages.
Which, it goes without saying, will remain unlocked.

Breyer's retirement actually makes Ginsburg's refusal to retire look worse and solidifies that the lasting legacy of "The Notorious RBG" will be Justice Amy Coney Barrett likely voting to overturn Roe.

@kylegriffin1 An *unelected person* controls the policy and voting of behavior of an entire elected political party.
And with the GOP blocking the function of government, this means we're being governed by someone we didn't elect, by someone we specifically removed from office.

President Biden: "Did you ever think that one man out of office could intimidate an entire party where they're unwilling to take any vote contrary to what he thinks should be taken for fear of being defeated in a primary?"

@AriBerman Who's going to tell him that *he* is a member of the government he claims will "stand behind them to make sure they have a right to vote"?

This is absolutely ludicrous. GOP enacting greatest rollback of voting rights since end of Reconstruction and Manchin & Sinema now complicit for refusing to stop it

REPORTER: [People say] you’re making it so that they’re not going to be able to vote in the next election. MANCHIN: …the government will stand behind them to make sure they have a right to vote…We act like we’re going to obstruct people from voting. That’s not going to happen.

BREAKING: We secured $829 million in federal funding to upgrade locks & dams along the Upper Mississippi River. This is game-changing for Iowa’s agriculture industry & our Mississippi River communities!

@TheTNHoller In protecting a Senate procedure over voting rights, Manchin and Sinema are choosing the institution over The People it purports to represent.
Comity in Congress is not the goal of government! Their job is to enact the will of The People, not maintain order in a building in DC.

@newtgingrich If you read literally *any* speech by *any* president in US history and any speech by Trump, you'll understand why no one takes your opinion of speeches seriously.

If you read Lincoln’s Second Inaugural and Biden’s speech today you will understand the difference between greatness bringing us together and a mean spirited vicious partisan hack trying to drive a deeper wedge in the country he is supposed to lead.

@benshapiro It was an attack on the US Capitol on the day of electoral vote certification, intended to stop the legal casting of votes in order to hold onto power.
That's a coup.

Today is the first anniversary of January 6, a riot predicated on a falsehood pushed by President Trump -- a riot which did not prevent the certification of the 2020 election by Vice President Mike Pence and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

It will never NOT be completely insane to me that Mike Pence wouldn't get in that car on January 6th because he was sure he'd be kidnapped.

@7im Traitors, all of them. The fact that we have not yet charged them with seditious conspiracy is a shame on our country and system of justice.
Jan 6th 2022 will be the anniversary of that failure to act to secure our democracy.
