Y’all. I didn’t think I could like this man more. #Walz taught HS sophomores enough about geography and population factors that they accurately predicted the genocide in Rwanda.
“Walz said he was an early adopter of GIS software in the 1990s, using it, among other things, to teach high school students about the Holocaust.
He had his students build maps of the contemporary world using different layers of data that scholars believed could factor into modern-day genocides. “They started looking at food insecurity, potential drought, just like the UN was doing around famine early warning,” Walz said.
In 1993, he asked his sophomores where they thought the next genocide might happen, based on the geographic data. They pinpointed Rwanda.”
Republicans continue to scrabble to find ways to attack. Elon Musk is using his huge platform to declare that
"Kamala is quite literally a communist."
Charlie Kirk announces that Kamala Harris is "more ambitious than Lucifer."
Donald predicts that Tim Walz — of all people — will “unleash HELL ON EARTH," a prediction to which Alexandra Petri responds with an amusing description of the Walzian hell.
What has Kamala Harris' running mate Tim Walz said about LGBTQ+ rights?

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:
There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time.”
— Frank Wilhoit
J.D. Vance says that people who don't have children have no stake in the future.
Yet he's a Catholic: a religion headed by *checks notes* a childless Pope, and run by *checks notes again* thousands of childless priests. (Well, supposedly.)
And wait, news has just come in that Jesus, the man whose teachings Catholics claim to follow, was yet another man who (according to their own orthodoxy) had no children.
Childless people have no stake in the future.
Shouldn't he convert, or something?
Poilievre is a weird little fellow though, especially to be made leader of a party. He’s like a disgusting, foul-mouthed little parrot sitting on Stephen Harper’s shoulder. https://www.castanet.net/news/Canada/500079/Liberals-borrow-weird-tactic-from-Democrats-in-latest-attack-on-Pierre-Poilievre

I'm sitting here astounded that my husband is hacking away with Covid and I'm sitting here feeling just fine. I went shopping. I wore a mask and got looks. The Covid wastewater rates are twice the national average here in MA, and yet I get weird looks for protecting everyone in Stop n Shop by wearing a freaking mask. People are so weird. Kind of like Trump-*WEIRD*.
15 Excuses J.D. Vance Could Use to Drop Out of the Race
To boost Trump, prominent racist, transphobe, and con-man Elon Musk has launched a PAC that harvests voter data through a deceptive "voter registration" app. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/02/elon-musk-pac-voter-data-trump-harris.html
In his latest faceplant, pompous buffoon JD Vance - a lead weight around the GOP's neck already - claims Putin freed Evan Gershkovich and Paul Whelan because "Donald Trump is coming back into office." GOOOOOOD TRY, LITTLE BUDDY. NOW LEAVE THAT DAVENPORT ALONE. https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/01/politics/chameleon-trump-vance-harris-ethnicity/index.html
