2021 is the product of consecutive primes: 2021 = 43 × 47.

It’s the first time this has happened since 1763 (= 41 × 43), and it won’t happen again until 2491 (= 47 × 53).

Here are the women - Senate aides - who had the presence of mind and courage to transport and keep safe the electoral votes before fleeing the Senate. There will always be villains.
There will always be heroes.

A majority of the House Republican caucus voted to throw out the election results.

Burn the entire GOP to the fucking ground and then salt the Earth where it was.

It’s only a Coup d’Etat if it comes from the Coup d’Etat region of France. Everything else is just sparkling Treason.

I attended the Women's March in D.C. in 2017. Half a million people marched that day. No one in the Capitol Building felt threatened. No one was evacuated. No one hid under a desk. That is what peaceful protest looks like.

"We love you. You're very special."

The Wandering Earth oscillates between "the Earth is doomed" and "the Earth is saved", much like watching election returns.

Until recently I never truly grasped that the fundamental social contract of Democracy is that the losers of elections accept the results and graciously cede power.

Board games are a critical part of teaching that lesson to children.

Pennsylvania Republicans are refusing to seat a Democratic state senator whose election has been certified. This is evil. https://www.inquirer.com/politics/pennsylvania/spl/john-fetterman-pennsylvania-senate-removed-republicans-jim-brewster-20210105.html
