“There’s no difference between Trump and Clinton.”

While everybody’s thinking tri-cornered hats, Boston tea, and founding fathers, here’s a little thing:
«All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.»
Also, in the same vein of thought, another little thing:
«The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.»
And, while I’m at it:
«The eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.»
Now drink!
NBC not looking too good.
«“They took away my voice,” she says. “I want people to understand how incredibly challenging this is, with a story like mine that’s highly sourced, with me doing this [advocacy] work in the public arena. And I can’t get my story out there? If I didn’t have those things, let’s be very clear, no one would know about this today. I’m speaking out for all the other women who have been silenced, to let them know it’s not their fault.”»

From “Top Themes” for June 25:
«However, the failure of these issues to successfully remain on the dashboard indicates that pro-Kremlin accounts struggled to mobilize susceptible users into propagating their content in light of a busy U.S. news week.»
Awww. Trump is scrambling the news too fast! Poor bots. 😦
Analysis of what a bot-driven Twitter campaign looks like. Somebody is trying to demotivate Dems. It won’t stop.

Apparently, this film is widely acclaimed and has received numerous awards. I stand by my judgment of it being a train wreck. https://t.co/fKouwCcX67 https://twitter.com/JessicaScott09/status/1014344308831465474?s=17
I agree:
«It’s so funny, the language of “personal responsibility.” I know it’s a great American slogan because systems of exploitation are really about isolating people rather than embedding them in a network of mutuality and care.»
(Also, WordPress is weird. I moved the link by cut/paste and it turned the link into an embedded tweet. No idea what it’s going to look like when I publish.)
Just called my (Republican) Senators and urged them to vote for a nominee with their head screwed on straight, as opposed to an ideologue.
5calls.org makes it easy.

Danger, Will Robinson:
«the allure of his message is steeped in the language of nostalgia for a better time»
I love the replies to this tweet containing reading recommendations. Evernoted.
