When the pro-Trump influencers are talking like this — and not just anonymous posters on TheDonald — we're in very different territory.

I saw a patient described as “combative.” I got there & he was very guarded & watching John Wick. I started naming the moves in a fight scene (I have a black belt) & suddenly he opened up. He asked if I could stay to watch with him. I realized he wasn’t combative. He was lonely.

Here's a great article by @TransLifeline about why they never engage if you nonconsensual active rescue:

This week, Chile announced a proposed new constitution written by a democratically elected convention, and it is likely the most legitimate constitution in the world, as it is written boldly in the context of the climate crisis. A 🧵on its inspiring climate provisions.

@SmallTownCommie Marx failed to consider the other people who have been in contact with the police

[The Sparrow Project @sparrowmedia]

A retired Federal agent from Texas was one of 6 people in regular communication with the white supremacist Buffalo murderer. 30mins prior to the attack the shooter invited the former agent to review his attack plans and watch his live stream.

As an ex prosecutor from Uvalde, I can say based on my past interactions with Uvalde PD, you will never know the truth about what went down in that school until every inch of video tape is released to the press.

[CaliCommie @CommieCali]

The police stopping parents from entering into the school, waiting for backup when it's decades-old standard procedure not to wait—

Just another example of how police, as an institution, have different interests than the community they're supposed to serve

[Matt Novak @paleofuture]

This video make so much more sense now. The cops literally stopped parents from helping their kids.

Never seen a science popularizer hate the wonderful spectacles of the natural world as much as Neil

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

Lunar eclipses are so un-spectacular that if nobody told you what was happening to the Moon you’d probably not notice at all.

Just sayin’.

[CaliCommie @CommieCali]

The newest episode of @RevLeftRadio with @OlufemiOTaiwo is very good, by the way!

Clearheaded analysis, good focus on what matters for working class power, and a good stated measurement of a robust left movement: "orders of magnitude more people"

I work as an Amazon delivery driver, and I’m witnessing a swelling of anger amongst drivers related to a new rule just handed down by Amazon. Drivers are pissed and miserable; even the ones who are ordinarily happy. Amazon is getting nervous due to warehouse unionization. 1/8

This is all part of a coordinated campaign of confusion to make ordinary people unable to tell what is real. Only by confusing people can a tiny group of the most violent and wealthy people get support for policies that destroy our connection to each other and our natural world.

[Thia is with … 😏✌️💋🔥 @ThiaBallerina]

They miraculously passed a bill within hours to expand security for families of Supreme Court justices. And haven’t done a gd thing to protect women. Democrats are not coming to save you.
