@lukeisamazing He picked Johnson *less than a month* before Gettysburg and Vicksburg. It wasn't clear the Union was going to win, there was growing war fatigue, and Lincoln was doing what he believed would keep the Copperheads from taking office and negotiating peace.

the single most important show of my childhood. funny as hell and quite instructive… monsters are real, but a great deal of them are just white guys trying to commit insurance fraud.

@Eric_Erins They're like 15 bucks at a thrift store, with maybe 20 bucks of dry cleaning, alternately you can get your choice of practically any at all on eBay for less than $200. Not sure why everything needs to be brand new.

@remyjenney @Jerematic79 The school community is also hyper litigious though, so I wonder how much that played a role in this decision as well as the one that prohibits kids from leaving during lunch and walking a quarter mile to local restaurants. It was the other way around for both 30 years ago.

@Jerematic79 @remyjenney At my local high school, at least two teachers on staff have a side gig doing private driver's ed classes after school. They even have flyers in their rooms advertising this. Market meets demand I guess

My neighbors across the street left in June to go back to France, despite being here for most of the last decade, including for the births of their children. He was an engineer with an advanced degree, but his company non-renewed his contract because of government pressure.

The general public still has not clocked how anti-legal immigration Trump 2 has been. There are high skilled immigrants who've been here for 15 years, have American children, and are upstanding members of their community who will be forced to leave the country.

I usually post this image of Ladder 118 each year on 9/11 because for some reason it's always carried the most weight for me. I think it's because 118 -- shiny and swift, standing into fiery danger to save the townspeople -- is a modern image of St. George fighting the dragon.

Ladder 118’s last call. All six men aboard this rig died that day. They knew the dangers and they went anyways. This picture has evoked a ton of emotion for me, not because I knew any of them, or because I’ve been in a similar situation (it’s a no for both) but because they

The towers are gone now, reduced to bloody rubble, along with all hopes for Peace in Our Time, in the United States or any other country. Make no mistake about it: We are At War now—with somebody—and we will stay At War with that mysterious Enemy for the rest of our lives.

I can't imagine the experience of a man going from reading My Pet Goat to a bunch of elementary school kids to being booted forcibly into the 21st century, and watching the America we knew for decades disappear in months.

If we’ve learned anything about George W. Bush post-presidency, it’s that his facial expressions tell the real story. Today is no different.

@RepealTCPA1947 I worked in a NYC office building in the late 90s, and the network even hen had a ~4meg upload speed, so this would have just taken seconds.

@emilykmay I remember people speculating, before literally the smoke had cleared, that the total casualties may be higher than in the Battle of Antietam. In this context, 2300 is truly remarkable.
