It is still incredible to me that two years after an insurrection that stormed the Capitol and threatened the lives of members of Congress, the House GOP today has nominated one of the insurrectionist *plotters* to be Speaker. A complete moral failing for democracy.

It’s been 55 years to the day - Oct 16th 1968 - that John Carlos and Tommie Smith dared us to imagine a different kind of world. Perhaps one day we will take them up on it.

For what? I don’t think even they know. Chaos vibes

Any news organization that reports the news about McCarthy endorsing an impeachment inquiry without CLEARLY and AT THE TOP stating that there is no meaningful reason for such an inquiry is doing journalism wrong. Too many orgs already jumping into the gamesmanship.
