I went to sleep last night certain that Chuck Woolery Tribute was 100% irrelevant.

A long thread, but worth a read. Very fair (non-political) assessment - and an encouraging look at the way forward.... IF WE ARE WILLING.

“Hey Siri, add a reminder to cancel NBC Sports Gold and FloBikes”

After Barack Obama’s swearing-in ceremony, John Lewis approached the President with a commemorative photograph and asked him to sign it. He wrote, “Because of you, John. Barack Obama.” nyer.cm/tQ8uqf9

When you consider that Donald J. Trump uses words like “thug”, “agitator”, and “enemy” to describe people that serve the country the way John Lewis did, it’s no surprise his feigned attempt at respect fell so woefully short.

Oh my god.

We can be back to a reasonably normal existence: schools, travel, job growth, safer nursing homes & other settings. And we could do it in a matter of weeks. If we want to. 2/

Literal translation: “Dear white people, I will do everything in my power to keep the brown people from bothering you. You’re welcome!” Hot take: fuck this guy.

Trump can't understand why Biden would choose a woman who attacked his record during the primary, and that, my friends, illustrates the difference between Biden and Trump in so, so many ways.

If Trump spent half the energy he expends on voter suppression on virus suppression, you’d be going to able to share ice cream cones with strangers by now.

I appreciate that Joe Biden's speech is not the soaring rhetoric we've come to expect lately. This is very much the "Football coach at halftime giving a pep talk to the team that needs to get its shit together" speech. It's refreshing and much needed. #DemConvention

Joe is ready to legit fight somebody, and I AM FUCKING FEELING IT!

Gonna have to say Donald J. Trump kinda seems like the sleepy one now.

Watching the RNC, I guess the message is COVID is over.

Bright side of the blatantly irresponsible RNC event tonight: if an acceptably small # of people die from the almost certain spread of COVID-19, maybe we can have outdoor concerts again.

At what point does she realize that “Thank you Vice President” is not working? She needs to just talk over him and ask the next question when his time is up.
