I have a night off from the hospital. As I’m on my couch with my dog I can’t help but think of the Covid patients the last few days. The ones that stick out are those who still don’t believe the virus is real. The ones who scream at you for a magic medicine and that Joe Biden is

They call you names and ask why you have to wear all that “stuff” because they don’t have COViD because it’s not real. Yes. This really happens. And

If patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel, I guess the poor family farmer/fisher is the second-to-last.

Another Angry Woman (@stavvers) Tweeted: I feel like it’s important to note the sheer amount of private interests in the UK’s commercial fishing. It’s framed as nice British people with a little boat being shafted by big mean EU, but in fact more than 80% of fishing rights is owned by millionaires, domestic and foreign. https://t.co/5HArTFlQW8

Ha ha, @davidfrum.

«Then they can quit the gerrymandering business and recommit themselves to equal voting rights—competing to win over voters rather than disenfranchising them. Their goal should be creating a modern party of the center-right, redeemed from the squalor of the Trump era, unafraid of elections equally and fairly open to every adult citizen.»

“And all the liberals in California and New York, you wasted a lot of money. This is the worst return on investment in the history of American politics.”

How about the liberals in North Carolina and other Southern states, Senator? Also, pretty sure the giant pile of money Jeb Bush set on fire in 2016 constitutes a much worse return on investment.

I guess this is why farmers hate the gov’t? Because we, the people, try to get them to stop poisoning us? What would happen if we ramped up -icide usage enforcement? Lots more rhetoric from rural areas about govt interference?

«To add to this: there are a few things I see farmers get really really worked up about when you ask to look.

1. Cold storage. Farms usually have one that’s a moldy, rodent-laden mess.

2. Water use records/well locations.

3. Spray records. Because they aren’t keeping them.»

Why IS Colorado blue, anyway? This seems like a reasonable explanation.

As long as Republicans continue down the path they’re on, it’ll probably stay that way, too, but it has a large fraction of independent voters that might be available if the Republicans ever decide to stop being bigots. Or at least, stop being so obvious about it.

Redistricting plus normal midterm behavior on the part of voters. Yay.
