- It's fun in 2025 to teach a room full freshman that the American Revolution was ignited by the colonists' hatred of tariffs and excessive police force and watch the gear wheels start turning for 15% of them. -OS
- Replying to @lyndonbajohnsonThe Sons of Liberty would've tarred and feathered so many ICE officers. -OS

- I like this fuckin' kid. Clever ad, good politics.I am once again asking you to stop sending us money. But we do need your time. ⏰
00:00 - Replying to @EdwardBittner16New York was also the slaviest of the colonies North of the Chesapeake (slavier than Virginia until the 1740s) and there was a strong correlation between the biggest areas of slaveholding and Royalism. -OS
- Pelosi had a long and meaningful enough career to be considered both a wacked-out communist and a bought corporate stooge.Nancy Pelosi voted against the Defense of Marriage Act the President of her own party pushed. She spoke out for human rights activists in China after the Tiananmen Square. She voted against the Iraq War. Thanks to her, people with pre-existing conditions can have health care.

Does the Left understand how lucky they are that the Right doesn’t riot? - It is sort of hilarious that University of Houston is likely to become the best public school in Texas by default, because it's not part of either the UT or Aggie systems and so its upper administration and regents haven't been stacked with a bunch of chuds by Abbott. -OSThis would be the opportune time to laugh at Aggie if it weren't going to be equally true of every public university in Texas, including UT, soon enough. -OS
- Underrated US cities: 1. Milwaukee (awesome public spaces, no trains but the bus system rocks -- 4,500 stops, 25 million annual ridership) 2. Kansas City (much like Milwaukee, great public spaces. Tries to do a light rail, slightly less useful bus system than MKE)...
