https://twitter.com/yashar/status/1275132015998713857 Can someone tell me where this Florida/DeSantis intensive care unit stuff is coming from? I see tweets but no news stories.

But you don’t need to follow social construction to its postmodernist extreme to acknowledge that social construction does play a role in how we perceive the world. To a partial extent, there really is a “social construction of reality,” as Berger and Luckmann put it. Psychological research, for example, shows that flagging certain issues repeatedly, or framing them in particular ways, affects attitudes and feelings.

Cavalry comes to Hickenlooper’s aid with 1 week left in Senate primary

Bruised for weeks by revelations of unethical behavior, racial gaffes and unforced tactical errors, the former governor and longtime front-runner in the U.S. Senate race has sought help from the same Democratic establishment that coaxed him into the contest last August, despite his own deep-seated reservations. “We could not sit idly by as the Romanoff campaign continued to attack John Hickenlooper, and Cory Gardner and national Republican groups jumped into the middle of this primary — running millions of dollars in negative ads aimed at taking down Hickenlooper,” said Mannie Rodriguez, treasurer of Let’s Turn Colorado Blue, a super PAC that surfaced last week and almost immediately revealed it was spending more than $1 million to broadcast an anti-Romanoff attack ad. “He told us he’d be a terrible senator, I just didn’t realize he’d try so hard to prove it,” he said. “I think when you break the law, when you defy a subpoena, when you get held in contempt, when you compare yourself to slaves, when you tell us George Floyd was shot, when you don’t understand what Black Lives Matter means, and when you demonize progressives in your own party … you make it harder to win.”
