I've had literal nightmares about this happening to me while I was on a bridge.

Has anybody else seen these tweets? Gross stuff.





These sound like satirical jokes we would make, alas...

This was a tragedy, but the reactions I'm seeing reflect poorly on our country. Some are making it worse than it appears while ignoring how much worse it could have been if authorities didn't act in a timely fashion. So much for #Backtheblue.

It's Baltimore...

Really? Their Mayor being black is some sort of conspiracy to the right?

This is the type of thing that isn't political at all, but it makes the news and is dramatic, so everyone projects their own hatreds and prejudices onto it. It is the news version of a rorschach test.

That's been the story of our politics since at least 2016.

You read it here first: the new bridge will be named after Baltimore native Barbara Mikulski.

What about John Waters?
