So Many Nu-Americans at Work!

Growing dominance of "Blue Lives Matter" flag w/in Trumpism suggests a formation close to but not identical w/ both white nationalism & police state: I'll call it "police nationalism." Identity founded on fetishization of an explicitly brutal & implicitly racist idea of policing.

This is Gender War

Claiming that "Women [...] have never had a fair shot to get ahead in this country" (even when he and Obama led it for 8 yrs?!), Biden promises an "aggressive & comprehensive plan to further women’s economic and physical security." Guess who'll pay for it?https://t.co/mcdkTn4sOW

Fear and the Desire for Security

Nessel’s argument for a gun ban in the state capitol is that without it, it’s “only a matter of time” before armed insurgents “take out an entire chamber of legislators in a minute.”

Means to an End, and an End in Itself

Hey progressives and hippies, don't kid yourself if you think that vetting possible guests isn't a necessary preparatory step, or that the meal itself is also a part of the vetting process.

From households to congress, fewer and fewer people are sitting down together to share meals—a ritual that helps people build trust, cooperation, and strong communities. Here are a few ways to reactivate the practice, even in socially distanced times. https://t.co/v25IjxZbbm
