Trump is just the trigger. There are deep historical forces: The dismantling of the FCC fairness doctrine by Reagan, the resulting emergence of Fox News, conservative talk radio, and other propaganda outlets, the removal of guardrails for the influence of money in politics (e.g. Citizen United), the continuous reduction of taxes on high incomes, the ever-increasing wealth and income inequalities enabled by the above, the stagnation of working class income despite continued increase in productivity (and corporate profits), the total lack of social protection and benefits compared to other developed countries. People in the middle class and below have been screwed for 40 years and are angry. They should be angry at Republicans. But the Republican party has managed to deflect their anger towards immigrants, non-Christians, non-whites, liberals, LGBT, China, academia, intellectual "elites", scientists, journalists, and non-existent scarecrows like Antifa.

I don't think that anyone, especially the liberal media, such as it is, realizes how little impact liberal outlets & voices have in contemporary US. to us, the NY Times is of great importance; but not to younger Americans. so-called legacy media, committed to "facts," cannot compete with online phantasmagoria of every kind of concocted tale & misinformation swirling like maggots in a great decomposing corpse.

@AaronRentfrew well said, and true.

Discipline is the strongest form of self love Why is it so hard? It’s love of your future self at the expense of your present self. Ignoring something you want now for something better down the road Discipline reveals the commitment to your vision for the future even when you “don’t feel like it” Your "future self" is depending on the "today you" to keep the promises you made to yourself yesterday.

Everyone must watch all 8 minutes and 24 seconds of this speech by Michelle Obama. It might be the finest I’ve ever heard on the topic of abortion rights, as well as the stakes in this election for American women…and the men who love them. Share widely.

OMG. This is hysterical!

@BDFPrice I think this is a good idea.

@BDFPrice Excellent supplement to the lists.

Amazing. 😳

The GOP is rooting for Russia. They not only do it with what they say, but with who they support. As Ukrainian children die, they clearly stand with Putin, and he thanks the Republican Party for their allegiance. #PartyOfPutin #StandWithUkraine

@engineers_feed Golden Rule.

What simple rule would fix the world, if everyone actually followed it?

@glennybrock Why?

You would not believe how many times I have listened to the audiobook of Lonesome Dove.

@glennybrock @MadisonU @mia_sade no. its not.

The other day I forgot the word “contraction.” I was teaching and could not remember what to call a word formed by two words shortened and connected with an apostrophe. Moments like this rattle me. I think, O CHRIST IS IT DEMENTIA? (Cc: @MadisonU @mia_sade)

Words matter, I’ve heard.

Good and timely article: nytimes.com/2021/02/03/opi…

I am calling for a nationwide boycott of @Publix because profits from this supermarket chain were used to fund Trump's illegal & seditionist efforts at stealing the election & overthrowing our Constitutional Democracy. Please retweet if you agree. Thank you.
