  • “Democracy Dies in Darkness”

    But darkness is meaningless without light, so how do you get darkness? Obviously, by shining a light on other things. So, it actually makes a lot of sense for the Washington Post to have adopted this slogan, since apparently its goal is to shine a light on other things like culture wars, to give oligarchs the darkness they need to kill democracy.



  • The suit stuff aside, what’s with his weird grammar? “You have not done a good job by the people in Greenland.” In this sort of sentence, “for” sounds much more natural than “by”. And I think the common phrase that “Person A hasn’t done right by Person B,” is more of an exception.

    But assuming he did mean it that way, then he’s speaking as if the people of Greenland feel wronged by Denmark, but they don’t.

    In fact, Americans are much more disappointed with Trump and Vance than Greenlanders are disappointed with Denmark. If disapproval rating was the important thing, then Denmark would be acquiring the United States.


  • Here is her quick political overview from this article.

    Love, the daughter of Haitian immigrants, made history in 2014 when she became the nation’s first Republican Black woman elected to Congress as the U.S. representative for Utah’s 4th Congressional District. She served for two terms between 2015 and 2019. While in Congress, Love championed sexual assault prevention and immigration reform. In 2018, Love notably clashed with Donald Trump, then the 45th president of the United States, by joining Democrats in condemning the Trump administration’s child separation policy at the U.S. border.

    Love was one of the few Republicans not to endorse Trump in the 2016 presidential election. She announced just before Election Day that she would not vote for Trump following the release of the infamous Access Hollywood video of him bragging about touching women sexually without their consent. “His behavior and bravado have reached a new low,” she said at the time.

    After she lost re-election in 2018, Love became a political contributor for CNN and made several appearances as a guest co-host for “The View.”
