It’s pretty amazing just how much this website creates completely different realities about supposedly similar events. When you have some offline knowledge of what is actually going on, this site is even more useless.

This will always be one of my favorite maps of Pennsylvania. The "Peaceable Kingdom Lost" is clear here after 1718, as is the French & Indian War of 1754-63. Pennsylvania was, in many ways, THE entrance point to the American West from the 1730s onward. phmc.pa.gov/Archives/Docum…

Growing up on a farm doesn't excuse murdering a 14-month old dog with a high prey drive. Especially when modern civilization has things like shelters and foster care where failed hunting dogs ALWAYS get adopted first. Noem should resign in disgrace & She should be charged.
folks, i think people can tell, even if noem grew up on a farm, that shooting a dog and saying you always hated it kinda makes look like an asshole regardless of whatever context
Is there any current group so universally mocked and snickered at than these people? I have never seen anything like it. It's almost as if they're trying to win Cringe Yahtzee. And… this may be the only "bipartisan" thing left in the US: EVERYONE is laughing at these losers 🤣

@HeidiBachram "The customer is always right" is not a good way to run a university.
@AstorAaron This should be an instant career-ruiner. The fact that the cops were so deferential to her here is a problem. Nobody wants cops to be dicks. But holy shit, at least try to treat all of us the same.
@ReubenR80027912 @AstorAaron They were burning bridges and sabotaging supply depots in East Tennessee, yeah. Guerilla warfare did exist.
@ReubenR80027912 @AstorAaron Tennessee ultimately provided about 50,000 troops to the Union war effort, of which the 30,000 white troops were overwhelmingly from East Tennessee. That's fairly material.
@bdquinn I’ll ask @AstorAaron as the expert but did the Confederates have to devote significant resources to putting these partisans down? I assume not The famous Marylanders pelting Union troops arriving in DC was notable but *immaterial* in terms of war effort
@ReubenR80027912 @AstorAaron The weird thing about East Tennessee is how it's always been staunchly Republican throughout all of the country's political development.
I think Biden's stiff gait is a huge part of why people think he's too old, and I would guess 1% of voters know that he broke his foot in two places, leading to arthritis in his feet, on top of spinal arthritis that he already had.
@mattyglesias Biden breaking his foot during the transition probably cost him 3-4 approval points permanently. Every other RNC rapid response vid is “Biden shuffles away and ignores questions” amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/02/06…

So in the last 8 hrs on this site, we've: seen a Columbia student tell people they should be "grateful" he wasn't going out and murdering Zionists; had RWers exulting in a cop hurling a 57-yr-old woman to the ground; and had Kristi Noem brag about executing a puppy. What a day.
