There are two great guests on this week's 200th episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show. Kevin Willmott, who is one of the writers of .@JordanPeele .@spikelee's new film #BlacKkKlansman shares his thoughts on Trump and America's national derangement.

thechaunceydevegashow.libsyn.com/ep-200-1-black…
Professor .@JoeFeagin is the second guest on this week's show. He is one of the world's leading experts on race and social inequality. He and I discuss the myth of Trump's "white working class" voters, liberal racism, and why white "millennials" may be as racist as their parents
At the end of this week's 200th episode I ponder if Daryl Davis, a black man who befriends white supremacists is gullible and being played or if his approach to countering hate may make actually good sense.

Donald Trump is America's Racist-in-Chief. He is literally fulfilling a white supremacist wish list. Trump's most recent gift? Tweeting about "white genocide" in South Africa. My new .@salon

salon.com/2018/08/24/tru…
Trump's White House is a den and cabal of white racism with white supremacist and "white nationalist" believers and sympathizers such as Stephen Miller, Michael Anton and Steve Bannon and others writing the speeches and making racist policy.
As Mueller's investigation tightens around Trump and his corrupt administration he will only increase his white racist white supremacist appeals. It will likely not be too long before Trump is chanting white supremacist slogans such as "anti-racism is anti-white".

Donald Trump's White House is a den and hive of racists and others who are aligned with or sympathetic to so-called "white nationalists". Speech writer Darren Beattie is but one such example. My new .@salon

salon.com/2018/08/22/don…
Stephen Miller, Michael Anton, Steve Bannon, Jeff Session, and yes the king of the cabal, Donald Trump have shown through their actions, words, and policies that they are racists in league with and doing the work of a much larger white supremacist ideology and movement.
And it should be no surprise then that Trump's chief economic adviser is longtime friends with Peter Brimelow, a prominent and open white supremacist.

Will there be violence between Republicans and Democrats in Trump's broken America? Political parties are increasingly like sports teams. The Trumpists and other Republicans are soccer hooligans. My new .@salon

salon.com/2018/08/20/sch…
Political scientist Liliana Mason's research suggests this is a distinct possibility. Her work also shows that yes there is hyper polarization but Republicans are much more hostile to the groups that comprise the Democratic Party than the other way around.
Republicans are extremely cold and hostile towards nonwhites, gays and lesbians, women, and other groups who they identity as part of the Democratic Party. Democrats have much less hostility towards white men, "Christians", rural Americans and the like.

1/ Have questions about gerrymandering? Campaign finance? Nancy Pelosi? Ask your questions below and @PattiVasquezCHI will ask our guests tomorrow when we tape a new episode of my #OnTopic podcast!

We have two great guests lined up for this episode focused on the new Congress.
2/ Our first guest is Paul M. Smith, the famous Supreme Court lawyer who argued the 2017 North Carolina gerrymandering case. He currently represents North Carolina and Maryland voters in key gerrymandering cases that the Supreme Court could take this term. campaignlegal.org/staff/paul-m-s…
3/ Paul is also an expert on campaign finance law, election law, and voting rights.

Our second guest is Congressman @RoKhanna, a Democrat who represents Silicon Valley. He is a progressive who is a key Pelosi ally and was the only sitting Member of Congress to endorse @AOC.

I’m coming to London this year, FYI, so we’ll do a thing.
(We still haven’t had a honeymoon and Steve was like “this year!” and I said great, ten days! and he said “we have kids now” and I said great, two weeks.)

So, probably ten days.
LOYAL readers may remember that I did a very bad job as one of the writers of Lonely Planet London ‘04 and hence lived in Kendal Green for three months.

My previous lead fell through so I'm gonna link this again:
Anyone have one of these? I will very happily buy it off you, I really need one for my floppy exhibit which is in two weeks.
BTW I'm interested in them even if you can't get it to me in two weeks: I'm doing this exhibit regularly now, so it can always show up in the next one.
So if you've got one (or think you might have one) packed away somewhere that you can't get to for a month, lemme know!
I just posted about this in the VCFED "want to buy" forum, which is somewhere I hadn't tried yet. maybe that'll help.

And who said: "unconditional direct income support to farmers is manifestly absurd in today’s world when it maintains uncompetitive farming practices that have negative implications for the climate, the environment or people’s health"?

#Writers! There's no #writingtip, blog post, book, or class that will save you from having to work hard. Those are all tools.

They're your boots, your backpack, and your bottle of water. They aid you on your journey, but you're still the one who has to do the walking.

(1/4)
And it can be a lonely road. So find a community to share your troubles with. Lots of people have walked the road before you, and many will be happy to guide you.

Many #writers wander into the craft with an idealistic mindset. I know I did. I thought it would be easy.

(2/4)
It's not easy. It takes hard work and and lots of failure. It takes being knocked down and getting back up. It takes time.

But think about it. If it were quick and easy, what would be the point?

The value lies in the challenge.

#New PA cong. map increases D chance of winning the House majority by 4%. They only need a 6.8% generic ballot margin now (down from 7.7) to be favored.

Diff. will be closer to 10% in Nov when uncertainty from polls is ⬇️. Redraw is a very big deal.

One major reason the new PA map is such a big gain for Democrats is that it solidifies, not just tips, PA districts in Philly burbs. Also creates one additional vulnerable R district. (Easily seen in this map made by @JMilesColeman)
My forecasting model will have new PA map in the near future. This is not just a simple switch; it’s a coding redesign, restructuring of input, & drawing new geographic files. Takes a while (for me, a student).

In the meantime, just add 3-4% to the model: bit.ly/2018_house
