My latest @CNNOpinion: I wrote about the passing of Alex Trebek and the specific legacy he left us: A sterling example of how Dems should behave in a post-Trump world

(hint: no hugs, no compromises—just speak truth, fulfill promises and get sh*t done)

Thank you @arthur_affect for sharing your first-person insights for this piece!
“Even as we forcefully roll back the consequences of's reign of error, we need to find a way to bring the tens of millions of Americans he piped out into the wilds of conspiracy paranoia and racist vitriol back to the fold of a working democracy.”

“We won't get there by dispensing empathy and warm embraces, as many pundits and centrists are proposing. One can't just put a bandage on a wet and raging wound; one first needs to treat the infection, apply antibiotics and, where needed, cut away the rot”

“As Biden said in his victory speech, a time will come to heal as a nation -- but that time should come after we begin the process of FIXING our nation.”

Watching THE BOYS and enjoying the storytelling and superhero critique, not so much the depiction of Asian people
Am hoping Karen Fukuhara gets to be more than a mute feral pet at some point
Can he talk? Given that he’s an Asian male character, I’m assuming he’s either a pathetic victim or a raging asshole, is that a fair guess

The US government has invested half a billion into Regeneron’s monoclonal antibody therapy as part of Operation Warp Speed. It’s still in early clinical trials. The target for it is people with “exceedingly high levels of the virus.”

If the president recovers because of his experimental Regeneron therapy, he has the hard work and sacrifice of Chinese hamsters to thank Image
Underscoring again that this experimental Regeneron therapy that is first and foremost for people with very severe viral loads and/or high risk factors who have not yet produced sufficient antibodies. Could be precautionary or could mean things are worse than they look.

Even if she’s negative now, she may very well be surrounded by people who she’s infected. There’s a potential viral pocket around her, and who knows what the source is and who’s interacted with that source.

Trump looks nervous and freaked out
One of Biden’s eyes seems to be sagging out of its socket
#Debates2020
Dunno if saying you’re “not opposed to Barrett” is quite the right strategy here Joe #Debates2020
What the hell is Trump talking about? Biden is not in favor of single payer and never has been. Nice job making Joe look more progressive than he is.

Also millions of people are unemployed with no “private healthcare” whatsoever

The only suspicious part is what the family was trying to hide by burning down their own garage
“White Supremacist Munchausen Syndrome” is a thing that needs to go into the DSM-6

#BlacksRule
That isn’t even an anarchist A, as many have been pointing out; the legs, crossbar and point don’t extend through the circle edge.

My theory is it’s an Avengers logo, obviously in our timeline Captain America: Civil War played out different ImageImage

By the way the solution to all this still isn’t donating to Amy McGrath
Amy McGrath has plenty of money to lose with already. Please donate to races where the difference is close.

This fundraiser for races where we can actually win crossed 10 million yesterday I believe. Let’s keep it going.
