I think one thing we must never forget. The media will never ever ever be on our side. They will only be as liberal as the billionaires and multinationals that own them. I think the best example of the craven media is Travelgate - a long-forgotten Clinton "scandal."
The White House travel office was sloppily managed. The director wrote checks to cash. He deposited media payments for travel on AF1 into his own bank account. He commingled personal and travel office money. There was a report from FBI.
So they were fired. The media went on a feeding frenzy defending the man who commingled money. OF course, they did. He was slopping about requiring them to pay for their travel on AFI, so they sometimes got reimbursed by their company & didn't pay travel office. Nice deal
There were stories about perks he gave the media. So they loved him and insisted the firing was in order to steer money to Clinton friends. However, after extensive investigation by Ken Starr, he had to admit the Clintons did nothing wrong.
There was another investigation into whether Hillary lied to the press. After a long, long, long time they issued a report saying she made false statements, but had no way of knowing they were false.
It was nothing but the media attacking a new Democratic president from the get-go, to tell them the media is out to take them down. I believe some of this was not just anti-Democratic party bias, but an elite rejection of a man raised by a single mom, from Arkansas of all places

If the SC overturns the ACA. Dems must convene to draft a new ACA, addressing the glitches that allowed them to overturn the individual mandate. They need to include clear and precise legislative intent language so the Justices cannot infer an intent that was clearly never there
It should be ready to go on their first day. Introduce it at Noon on January 3rd. Yes, I know it's a Sunday. The GOP worked on Sunday to dismantle democracy, we can work on Sunday to restore it. The Senate should pass it quickly, sending it to the President's desk at 1 pm on 1/20
Signing it could be among the first acts of Biden's administration, but that's not all. They should also pass a new Voting Rights Act that mandates no more than 60 minutes wait time to vote, restores felon voting rights nationally, see Hillary's bills...

In 2010, the single player or die folks encouraged people to boycott the Democrats in the election. A by selection, no big deal. Ed Schultz on MSNBC rides that hobby horse with nodding support from BS, MM, and the rest of the stupid left.
The GOP took the House, Senate, and state houses across the country. The stupid left loved to remind us that Dems lost over 1000 seats across the country. They claimed credit for that, even in 2016. But that was a decent url election, determining redistricting.
We've paid the cost for a decade. Part of that cost is three seats on the Supreme Court. Never listen to someone telling you to give up your only power in a democracy - your vote. They are either stupid, evil, or both

I always think that when a politician's outreach to Black voters is focused on criminal justice alone, the politician is racist. What is more racist than assuming Black voters only care about crime and incarceration and not about schools, child care, and the environment?
Such politicians see Blackness as a pathology of crime and poverty. It's why I had such contempt for Bernie for attacking Hillary on the Crime Bill (which he voted for) and for the attacks on Kamala for being a prosecutor. Trump's lies about Biden & super-predator are the same.
And let's not dismiss the contradiction of a man who still insists the Central Park Five are guilty and demanded their execution, a man who won't denounce police murders of unarmed Black men and women, trying to make political hay out of the Crime Bill.

Walter Mosley in 'An Awkward Series of Conversations,' a short story in "The Awkward Black Man."
“You called me African-American, and I don’t answer to that description. People who come from another country to this one use the hyphenate name.
You know, Italians who came over a generation or two back calling themselves Italian-Americans. Maybe they kept up contact with home or followed cultural norms that are particularly Italian.
But a man like me, a man whose ancestors were kidnapped, chained, and dragged over here centuries ago is not, cannot be, a hyphenate. At least not the kind of hyphenate that you say. You might call me an Abductee-American, an originally Unwilling-American.

The red death had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal -- the madness and the horror of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution.
The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow-men. And the whole seizure, progress, and termination of the disease, were incidents of half an hour.
But Prince Prospero was happy and dauntless and sagacious. When his dominions were half depopulated, he summoned to his presence a thousand hale and light-hearted friends from among the knights and dames of his court,
