    my favorite part of this article is when the researchers muse that the monkeys are just doing this for shits and giggles

    this is INSANE – the Trump admin has forbidden from using these words: “diversity” “fetus" “transgender” “vulnerable” “evidence-based” “science-based" “entitlement”

    What I love about this interview is that shows how, whether they can articulate it or not, many (most) white Americans behave as if they know they occupy the top of caste hierarchy.

    I'm old enough to remember when Republicans said bills that are long are inherently bad and that their tax plan would let us file on a postcard.

    And here is the 1,097 page conference report with explanations on the tax reform provisions

    About five years ago I once had someone tell me Bloomingdale was “sketchy,” which I guess just means “there were black people visible on the street.”

    Replying to @jbouie
    Had a student go to a local Af-Am hist. societies and he told the class it was in a "rough neighborhood." (It's not; we had a discussion of how people on the street doesn't equal "rough.") When I told the director, she said, "I had just been teaching yoga. Maybe I scared him!"

    We saw this same phenomenon with health care earlier this year. Multiple Republican senators publicly announced that they would oppose legislation unless specific concessions were made, then flipped to "yes" without having their demands met.

    Marco Rubio got increased refundability for the child tax credit, but not a lower eligibility threshold. Bob Corker got a pat on the head. Both are falling in line because...LOL tax cuts??

    Not shocked by this at all.

    I attended Howard. The dorms I lived in for 3 years were in Bloomingdale. After I graduated, I saw a Craigslist ad that described the neighborhood as "diverse but safe". WTF.

    If you want to hear me angrily rant for an hour, ask me about DC, Bloomingdale, and the affluent homeowners who want to seal the neighborhood in amber to inflate the value of their homes.

    What we’re witnessing in 2017 is the full-scale looting of America, unchecked by either political caution or any kind of substantive policy analysis.

    The best explanation of GOP behavior right now is they've become fatalistic about massive electoral losses and so are simply doing what they believe/trying to please the donors and lobbyists who can give them jobs after they're voted out

    I think an underappreciated attack line in 2018 will be the *personal* benefit many GOP members are going to get from this tax bill. "Voted to cut his own taxes by $75,000 while hiking taxes on middle class families" etc

    The Democratic Party is practically defined as a party committed to expanding health care The GOP is practically defined as a party committed to lower taxes for rich people

    There's a reason Obamacare got all 60 D votes and the tax cut is getting all 52 GOP votes - these are party defining pieces of legislation

    Remember when folks thought Senators deciding not to run for re-election was going to free them to be Brave Principled Heroes of Government, and now it turns out it just means they can vote to legally looting the country without having to face any personal electoral consequences?
