Funny how I never see this message about right-wing blockades or football games

Joe Biden says climate change deniers are "Neanderthals" — that's not fair to Neanderthals (www.salon.com)

“I’ve been [in] helicopters in the West, in the Southwest and Northwest, flown over more land burned to the ground, all the vegetation gone, than the entire state of Maryland,” Biden told his audience, partly referring to the wildfires now raging in Texas. “The idea there’s no such thing as climate change, I love that,...

Why Is Trump Trying to Make Ukraine Lose? The former president isn’t in office—but is still dictating U.S. policy. (www.theatlantic.com)

Donald Trump, who is not the president, is using a minority of Republicans to block aid to Ukraine, to undermine the actual president’s foreign policy, and to weaken American power and credibility.

Hunter Biden gives House Republicans the rebuttal they didn’t want (wapo.st)

Republican legislators and interviewers challenging the president’s son on the House majority’s behalf would throw out an allegation, often one that’s been worn smooth after tumbling around in the right-wing media universe for the past year or two.

I recommend getting counseling and engaging in activism.

How bad it gets is very much under human control still

Success is not guaranteed, but one way to guarantee failure is to do nothing and sit around hoping for aliens.

It remains a concern; and is proceeding at a few mm per year.

MAGA Is Based on Fear, Not Grounded in Reality (www.nytimes.com)

Yet such fantasies are now the common currency of politics on the American right. Remember the days when pundits solemnly declared that Trumpism was caused by economic anxiety? Well, despite a booming economy, there’s still plenty of justified anxiety out there, reflecting many people’s real struggles: America is still a...

It’s pretty clear that a lot of them are a result of processing and packaging, though I’d be surprised if zero were in the plants themselves.

January 6 Is Exactly What the Fourteenth Amendment Was Talking About | And ignoring its clear dictate is a dangerous choice to make. (www.theatlantic.com)

As the Colorado Supreme Court wrote, January 6 meets the bar for insurrection “under any viable definition” of the term.
