White man examining my whiteness. I use Twitter to amplify voices that need to be heard. Somehow I got an advanced degree.

Short Thread - Finishing "The Anatomy of Fascism" by Robert Paxton (published 2004) and he has a chapter dealing with how fascism might look if it was to appear in America. Any of this sound familiar?

3/30 donors so far. We have 27 to go to hit today’s goal to restock.

$25 helps me cover the snack restock for the week.

Folks need to understand that these cults have long been targets of KGB influence. Both things are true.

This is the Elephant in the room everyone is ignoring.

The DOJ Civil Division would have been the office to handle Trump's IRS lawsuit settlement.

So we requested records.

And they said they had none...

Having no trace of this lawsuit is HIGHLY irregular.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:

1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics

Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

There is no path to repair incompetence - Fauci is a hero but some people don't understand basic science enough to see that. They would have been in the front of the line to see Galileo burned at the stake.

[ProPublica @propublica]

The stories of how some neighborhoods and towns intentionally became and stayed mostly white are often unknown, ignored or not fully told.

But in Illinois, the legend behind one city’s name makes that history hard to ignore.

The US President made a drawing of him being Jesus. His Ambassador to the US thinks building a Third Temple will bring about the Rapture. His Congressmen say Israel must be supported bc it is in the Bible

[Jon “Bowzer” Bauman @JonBowzerBauman]

I repeat: “Donald Trump” is a mythological creation of “Apprentice” boss Mark Burnett: a “Successful Businessman who is Very Strong & says ‘You’re Fired.’”

The reflecting pool fiasco reveals perfectly who he really is: a corrupt, incompetent dolt who bankrupted 6 casinos.

They say free speech as a guard to not have to punish or acknowledge racism.

[Ben Crump @AttorneyCrump]

A federal judge has ordered the restoration of historical materials that were removed from national parks and historical sites across this country. These are not just signs and exhibits. These are the stories of enslaved people, civil rights leaders, indigenous communities, women who fought for suffrage, and immigrants who helped build this nation. Even with this ruling, the effort to erase our history continues. We will not look away and we will not back down.

Common luxury belief. Lots of conservative states have tried the "PRISON. PRISON. PRISON" approach but it's (1) extremely expensive, (2) non-specific (low PPV; moderately high NPV but no one wants to have that conversation), and (3) ultimately produces more crime.

[Renzo™ @fwrenzo1]

No one is forcing you to stay at that soul-crushing job,” yes they are.
The threat of rent, bills, and homelessness is extremely coercive. Stop pretending choice exists in this setup.

[Jesse Eisinger @eisingerj]

Obviously I'm a little biased since I edited this thing but that a story about a killed criminal investigation into a sitting senator wasn't picked up, followed & pushed forward by major outlets is an excellent & sorry illustration of our broken information environment.

John Denver was the most liberal dude on earth and absolutely hated Ronald Reagan. You’d be just as mad at him as you are at Bruce Springsteen. Country Roads is about the natural beauty he tried to protect his entire adult life as conservationist. Hope that helps.

Imagine being so far up Trump’s ass you believe any of this.

“The election deniers, they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing to tell, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission.

Another great line+speech from @ossoff.

Ossof, Talarico, Mamdani, AOC, Dems have some great young orators.

[Leyla Hamed @leylahamed]

Apparently, Lamine was a bright-eyed boy until he held up a Palestine flag. Then, he became controversial.

The journalists who make a living romanticising athletes like Muhammad Ali are the first to punish those who try to use their voice for something meaningful today.
