@JasonHustleHoff @SarahLongwell25 She and the Bulwark have helped build a wide coalition for the anti-maga movement, starting at least as early as trump's 1st term, to defend against the actual illiberal threat we're facing.

Her comments since third way's hit piece, tho, have been troubling. Maybe I got duped.

[CapoDexter @CapitalDexter]

@QazeTruth @SarahLongwell25 Uh, well, because I am one, a crossover fan. For many, that cross largely stems from a shared anti-maga position.

Now, of course, I actually watch/read content they each produce, so my opinion might be skewed.

@cl0wnquestion @Timodc @misthiOSX Two good peas who still know how to talk to people with whom they don't always agree (but don't have a real reason to hate).

[CapoDexter @CapitalDexter]

@Timodc @misthiOSX Stay relatable, Tim! Lol.
You're the best of the bunch.

Sadly, I had to unsub from Bulwark+ last month. Today, I've unsubbed from all their platform accounts and canceled my pre-order of Sarah Longwell's book out next week. It breaks my heart, but I can't ignore their part in the Hasan hate campaign any longer. No good reason for it.

@robotlover55 @JoshuaN35600905 @SarahLongwell25 The number of clips does nothing to change the context. A thousands clips out of context are still just that. The number alone does nothing to clarify intent. 4-5 complete thoughts might show some issue to opine over; 4-5 clipped thoughts are practically meaningless w/o context.

[CapoDexter @CapitalDexter]

@robotlover55 @JoshuaN35600905 @SarahLongwell25 And again, I'm agreeing it counts, but what is meant means more than how it's taken. Literally everything can be used out of context. People discuss context for clarity all the time. Some folks decry context when there is no more to give; be tired of that.

[CapoDexter @CapitalDexter]

@SarahLongwell25 @JoshuaN35600905 Shame on you, Sarah. I've been with you guys for a long time because even if I didn't always agree politically, I trusted your judgement and reasoning. This whole spectacle has changed that, and this divide is exactly what the folks who are 'pro-Israel no matter the party' want.

[CapoDexter @CapitalDexter]

@robotlover55 @JoshuaN35600905 @SarahLongwell25 Sure, but the entire point being made by each specific statement/convo should be rightly considered. The fault for the lack of context is not on the clipped speaker. Kinda like pulling a single sentence without knowing what the book is about.

[CapoDexter @CapitalDexter]

@JoshuaN35600905 @SarahLongwell25 It's crazy to me that a clip compilation was the response to being told you're being fooled by ooc clipping and asked to do follow-up research. These apps have melted minds.

[CapoDexter @CapitalDexter]

@SarahLongwell25 @artanddemocrats Sarah, why?? I have been trying to ignore your hostility towards an obvious (even if short-term for you) ally because not everyone at bulwark seems to share that view. It's your assessment of him as a bad actor similar to those who freely preach bigotry/hatred. It's not the same.

[CapoDexter @CapitalDexter]

@Timodc Quite a thoughtful and (ironically) sober take, Tim. Thank you. Wasn't sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. Never shoulda doubted.

Also, congrats on trying new things!

@grok @BobbySquinch @adarwis @CalltoActivism @grok Link the studies. Re-evaluate those studies. Define "scandal-mongering" and "scandal persistence," and explain when that became a measured and utilized data point. Then, re-evaluate your bias.

T-minus 12 hours til a government shutdown and House Republicans are nowhere to be seen.

House Democrats are here and ready to work and fight for a deal that protects your healthcare.

[Al Franken @alfranken]

This is unconscionable. Once again the 6-3 SCOTUS majority shows it’s in the tank for Trump and the rich and powerful.

A senior White House official is caught on tape accepting $50K in cash in a paper bag in exchange for steering contracts, and that person will go to work on Monday, and the entire GOP will be fine with it.

[Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸 @JudiciaryDems]

An alleged $50,000 bribe…
To help secure government contracts…
By a now senior Trump official…
And Trump lackeys shuttered the investigation.

Ignoring actual wrongdoing to protect allies, while punishing prosecutors for not going after enemies.

Blatant corruption.

If you’re an immigrant with legal status who’s committed zero crimes you can be sent to a torture prison in a foreign country where you’ll be raped and dehumanized.

If you’re old pals with Trump and ran a pedophile ring you get sent to a cushy minimum security prison despite being ineligible because you’re a sex offender.
