    Reed Galen of The Lincoln Project just retweeted this:

    He did not choose to add a comment like "hint, hint, BLM", left it up to the reader to decide why. I will note, however, that Lincoln Project's projects and tweets are often "engaging and fun."

    The Left's conspicuous fun often seems contrived and made for cameras and a fair bit mean-spirited, even while talking about so-called progressive values. I find family members on both the left or right hang up on me for the slightest affront to purity values - and I have a pretty goddamned tiny family.
