I do think the administration is overrating the difference in using out of state guardsmen cus it's not like TXNG are magically fundamentally different kind of dudes from ILNG, yeah it isn't there home but sectionalism isn't that massive pronounced anymore

i think, for most of the framers, the president sending one state's militia into another state over the objection of the state's governor would be indicative of the collapse of the union itself

Also, even the idea of a single national identity for most European countries is relatively new, despite the claim of these "ancient nations." As of 1794, only 11% of people in France spoke French as a first language, and nearly half didn't speak French or spoke it poorly.

Not going to stop thinking about the comment that Trump is sending Confederate armies to occupy Northern cities. How much more is there to say? That’s not a “distraction.” It’s what the white supremacists who tried to secede have wanted for over a century. It’s not a distraction to them at all.

That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.

40% of Republicans think the COVID vaccine killed more people than the COVID virus. One in four believe that QAnon is real. No matter how far they radicalize, we are told over and over again that the people being rude to them are the problem.

I'm building on this post, which is sort of half tongue-in-cheek. it's very possible that liberals are more prone to cutting people off, but i think a lot of pundits and pollsters are ignoring how an unhinged conservative base might be fueling this trend

One of the most life-changing things my therapist ever taught me is to stop responding to emotional subtext from others. You are not obligated to meet needs and feelings that others refuse to acknowledge even exist on their end. Others have to use their words to get their needs met.

This Day in Labor History: September 2, 1885. White miners in Rock Springs, Wyoming decided to exterminate the town’s entire Chinese community. Whites killed at least 28 Chinese miners in the Rock Springs Massacre. Let's talk about one of our great problems--the racism of the white working class!

To gauge how it’s “working,” one would have to be clear on what the actual work is, which is not helping to educate children but rather to imbed these systems in a way that they cannot be removed, establish them as a source of truth, and destabilize labor.

Sept. 2, 1666: The Great Fire of London starts. It burns for 4 days, & destroys much of the city. In it's wake, starving Londoners were saved by the Dutch, who gave out free eels. A grateful king granted them free mooring & a monopoly on eels sales. A lovely story. Except it didn't happen. 1/5 🧪🗃️

This ‘blue states closed schools too long’ narrative is becoming increasingly entrenched in the Polite Center but it’s arguable at best. Republican states had far more deaths during COVID and their students have roughly comparable learning loss.
