It's weird how hostile Slate is toward Biden who has spent his entire life fighting for many of the same initiatives that Slate has been fighting for. Reading @Millicentsomer- you would think she was talking about Ted Cruz's older bigger asshole brother.

slate.com/news-and-polit…
@Millicentsomer Of course I am not entirely unfamiliar with this phenomena. I was a republican for most of my life and I remember when I started seeing the articles showing up condemning moderates like me. You could hear spit leave lips when people screamed about Rino's.
@Millicentsomer And it seemed like some people on the right - who I had agreed with on quite a few things but not everything hated my moderate ass more than they hated socialists riding around in little electric cars. I was an impure republican & that was a bigger sin than being a socialist.
@Millicentsomer And that - you see - is what Slate is doing to Biden here as they just rip the same guy that was the most popular democrat in history's loyal VP. Biden is a impure democrat and you can almost hear democrat spit living democrat lips - as they talk about Biden today. (end)

A long time friend (and Republican) and I had a little back and forth on Facebook yesterday. The exchange we had, I think, really gets to the core of the dispute (on Trump) between folks like me (NeverTrumpers) and reluctant but faithful Trump voters. /1
His big grievance relates to how reluctant Trump voters, like himself, have been characterized negatively as a result of their association with Trump. He feels they are basically “lumped in with Trump”. He sees this as unfair and not very accurate. /2
He recognizes Trump as a raging asshole and someone that he otherwise would never associate with but he believes that in life - you have to work with assholes and tolerate assholes - if they are high performers and accomplished at achieving tangible objectives. /3

Ok - I had to pause my live tweeting when they sat us down behind Joe and told us to put up our phones. But here is what I would have tweeted - in the moment - if I could have.
The place was packed. The venue was essentially a church gym and it was full. All the seats filled and people standing against the walls about 2 or 3 deep.
The crowd was an older group. My rough estimate would say - 80% over 35 & probably 65% over 50. But it was an extremely diverse group.

In some ways Trump is a simple-minded dumbass and in other ways he is a freaking genius.
The dumbass part is easy to recognize. He doesn’t read. He doesn’t understand the world. He doesn’t understand intricacies. He doesn’t appreciate nuance or the comprehend the complications of situations that can’t be sketched out in a page or two of a children’s book.
But where is a genius - I think - is he recognizes that we live in a Kardashian culture. People are addicted to drama. He gets that we live in a tribal culture that is accentuated a million times over by social media. We live in a culture where people need heroes & villains.

The Periyar controversy: In an era of twitter outrage & abusive behaviour its easy to see why Periyar might prove a target for click-baits and yellow journalism -- ignoring his message, life & legacy

#Periyar #Periyarstatue #EVRamaswamy #Rajnikanth

(Periyar at Vaikom)
For #Rajnikanth - #Periyar must be the vilest politican that ever existed because his protestors once garlanded chappals on an idol of Lord Rama and carried vulgar nude pictures of Hindu dieties during the Salem rally of 1971.
Now there are many things problematic with this. There is always an effort to link an entire movement with the actions of the fringe.

This is exactly what's called rape culture - Kangana Ranaut wishing for the veteran feminist crusader for women's rights @IJaising to face the same fate as Jyoti Singh. Short #Thread below on this.
My own organisation, while opposing death penalty in principle, sympathises with the anger & grief Jyoti's parents feel. We don't feel we have a right to tell grieving parents how to deal with that grief and rage. Our point: Death penalty offers society a fake solution for rape
So, I feel that neither Ms @IJaising nor anyone has any right to advice a grieving mother or parent on how to act. But we do have a right (& duty) to say "we are with you, we are against rape and rapists, but also against death penalty in principle".

At Bernie's Iowa summit, @NaomiAKlein connects the dots from climate to fascism in an "economic system that tells you you're on your own."

"It is not a laundry list of everything the left has ever wanted. This is a holistic vision in a time of overlapping... crises."
@NaomiAKlein What a speech.

"We are now seeing fascist and neofascist political figures in Europe. It's seeping into North America as well. Drop the charade of climate change denial and instead cast the global ecological crisis as kind of divine corrective."

@NaomiAKlein "We cannot win this fight without battling white supremacy. The battles have converged. These are the stakes of our historical moment. It's not just about things getting hotter and wetter though it's about that too. It's within this toxic system things getting meaner and uglier."

#taekookAU | It’s You

Jungkook has gone his entire life thinking he had a dead Soulmate. His black tattoo echoed his lonely celebrity life. One day, his tattoo fills with vibrant colors & a lonely Omega stumbles into his life with a complicated past... from another entire world
This is my first BTS fanfic so I’ll be trying my best 🤗 I’m still new to Twitter though and much more used to Ao3 so please put up with me haha

~Make sure to quote to not break the thread
~Please likes, comments, and CRITICISMS so I can improve
~Likely be a written fic :3
“Jungkook is busy today. If you wish to contact us for an interview, please contact the agency. Thank you.”

Namjoon shut the door firmly closed, but Jungkook could still hear the loud screaming of girls in the background and the yelling of the paparazzi.
