No.

I had an email conversation w/one of your honchos a while ago about the past racism of the Republican party, and he said “I’m no historian.” An editor at a zine which attaches itself to William Buckley’s “standing athwart history” quote. So… No. You people are still full of it. Becoming “independent” is hogwash. (There’s another noun starting with “ho-” but I’m trying to be polite-ish.)

While a Senator from Texas is posting this sort of hogwash:

Don’t know if I’m culturally appropriating or not, but I think this is awesome.

Applicable in the US, too, I guess.

Never mind that we’ve allowed food companies to cheat and lie for years. Never mind that a healthy diet costs 5 times as much as an adequate one. https://t.co/kQkLao4yqo

Interesting thread and reply:

Noah Smith 🐇 (@Noahpinion) Tweeted: And currently, the non-college class has spent 40 years watching the college class go from strength to strength — the lords of human capital, the favored children of the New Economy.

Andy Vance (@AndyVance) Tweeted: I am amused by the number of posts from friends in agriculture have posted of a similar bent, as if our industry hasn’t been the beneficiary of staggering amounts of “free” government money thanks to the current Administration. We have zero credibility on this issue, friends.

I feel like there’s a sermon in here.

Amal El-Mohtar (@tithenai) Tweeted: «So much of folks’ stances on issues boil down to one of the following:

“A bad thing happened to me & I got through it so I want to make sure it doesn’t happen to other people”

vs

“A bad thing happened to me & I got through it so I insist everyone else go through it too”»

«Election data points to a sharp drop in Democratic votes in heavily Latino areas of North Philadelphia, suggesting the party’s slide with that demographic wasn’t just contained to places like Florida and Texas. It could be a warning sign for a party that relies on huge Philadelphia turnout in a state often decided by tiny margins — and where key races for governor and the Senate loom in 2022.»
