Newspeak and the Erasure of Truth
A Good Thread about the history of the use of false-equivalency by conservatives. Also: contains lots of informative links.

Thread on Paul Ryan, his Irish heritage, Free school lunches and the famine. I've always hated the narrative of the Irish immigrants as the ideal immigrants, and the idea that they came for the American Dream. They left Ireland as refugees.

The Gravedigger by Liam Hogan There’s a sharp ring of metal against…what? A gravestone? A coffin? I jerk upright, listening over the moan of the wind.

It’s been a while since I’ve had to chase grave robbers from these grounds. Once, it was my reputation as…
