I was pretty bored w/ the #NFC playoffs this year because once #Seahawks and (ahem) Goff / #rams were out, there really weren't any amazing stories to tell because almost nobody's legacy is going to change going forward, now #BucsvsSaints almost gaurantees it
If Rogers makes another SB so what? He's already a top 5 QB all time. Even if he somehow BEAT the #Chiefs (and that won't happen) who's he going to leap over on #NFL QB Mount Rushmore? Nobody. Another ring changes nothing for him
If Brady wins on the road in Green Bay and makes a 10th #SuperBowl what does that make him? The GOAT + 1? I mean, he's already the most successful QB ever. Another appearance or even beating the #Chiefs (Won't happen) doesn't change his legacy either
The only QB who's legacy changed during the playoffs is Brees, who basically blew the last 4 years of his career losing winnable playoff games at home. But does that knock him down a notch? Does that put him behind Warren Moon, or Phil Simms now? Brees is gonna be the same guy
Now in the #AFC - the kids table- where EVERY QB was 25 and under. They're just getting started, Jackson, Mahomes, Allen and Mayfield are just building resumes and honestly all of them did themselves a favor this weekend, especially Mayfield, who played great as an underdog

I was a kid when this happened but this is the first time I remember seeing the national press talking heads develop a completely ridiculous narrative about a candidate and push it until it became reality. Nobody cared about that scream except D.C. insiders
Howard Dean was Bernie before Bernie. He had the most innovative primary campaign in the history of American politics at the time, his use of email and early internet strategies launched dozens of careers in marketing and politics
Similar to 16' Sanders, 04' Dean was the true believer that the GOP privately feared could win, but that Democrats were CONVINCED would be a disaster that fall.

When government institutions, either through incompetence or intention fail to properly apply laws and provide for the people the private sector steps in. If Congress, and law enforcement had held Trump accountable a social media ban wouldn't be necessary
Why is this important? Because big social media sites are almost public utilities at this point. Trump has clearly violated rules for Twitter & Facebook, but the time it took to ban him is a reminder that these companies wield tremendous and occasionally arbitrary power
The consequences of breaking rules of conduct on social media are not applied equally or consistently. So forgive me if I don't cheer when it finally happens. These bans amount to taking a gun away from a mass shooter, when they're down to their last 12 bullets

@KamalaHarris said racism was a national security issue. She was absolutely correct and we're seeing that play out both in today's coup attempt and the complicity of many police caught on camera aiding and abetting the coup. But there's a more obvious indicator....
Arrests... 127 arrested after #BlackLivesMatter protests over #BreonnaTaylor in Louisville. Good found a way to snatch and physically harm more than that... Image
Over 165 people protesting #jamesblake being shot 7 times in the back by a cop were arrested in Kenosha. In only a day or two of protests Image

"He/She/They are better than the terrible person Trump had in the position before" is NOT a rationale for being complacent about any cabinet picks by in the incoming Biden administration. In fact that attitude could lead to major electoral backlash in 2022 and 2024
Unless they are demonstrably corrupt or have a history of breaking the law, I generally feel that an incoming administration should be able to pick their team. The public has the right to see the White House rise or fail with their full squad.
There were Trump picks that were TERRIBLE, Betsy DeVos being a prime example. But he had a right to pick her, and Democrats at least put up a fight because they knew she'd be terrible

Polling has consistently showed that African Americans are more skeptical of taking the #Covid_19 vaccine than other groups of people in America, but the reasons for this aren't just based on "older" instances of poor medical care. A thread.... fiercepharma.com/marketing/blac…
Yes there were the #TuskegeeUniversity Experiments with syphilis (1932- 1972) where African Americans were denied care so that a majority white healthcare system could 'learn' about the disease, but you don't have to go back that far en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_…
In the early 90's Maryland's government had serious discussions about forcing black women and girls on public assistance to take the birth control implant Norplant. Many took or were coerced into doing so without full understanding of the implications thecrimson.com/article/1993/2…
