Only 1 in 4 Americans know about the Republican Party's plan for a Christofascist takeover of America called Project 2025. Here's a quick primer. Y'all know what to do.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November. https://t.co/Tn2TQu5Djo

In the USA in 1943 they produced a film 'Don't be a Sucker' about fascism.

It perfectly explains Nigel Farage, Suella Braverman, Tommy Robinson and the entire Right.

I attended the Biden event in Los Angeles last night. Fantastic, but it made me think about a few things.

I’ve been around a minute. Lived through several Presidential races. I remember not being excited about the candidates, but I have never in my life fixed my lips to say, I’m not voting because of it. Neither did my grandparents who survived Jim Crow and were not always welcomed at the polls.

I don’t understand folks who are saying that today.

Your top issue isn’t being talked about enough or going the way you think it should? Let’s survive now and live to fight another day. But first, look beyond what you’re seeing covered by the media, because Biden is not getting the same coverage that Trump is getting. And much of that coverage is skewed. It’s likely your issue is being worked on and you have been heard — so look deeper!

We don’t have to invite the candidates over for tea and crumpets, but staying home when we have the Supreme Court that we have, is short-sided and a disservice to those of us who see Trump as the number one danger that he is promising to be.

NO CHOICE — IS A CHOICE FOR TRUMP!!!

Got it?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Just to reiterate, Trump wants to cut Social Security and Medicare — supposedly to address the debt — yet supports extending his tax cuts for the rich, adding $3.5 trillion to the deficit.

This isn't about the debt. It’s about doing the bidding of his wealthy donors.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Here is George Clooney’s response after Trump accused him of being a "Hollywood elite."

"Here’s the thing: I grew up in Kentucky. I sold insurance door-to-door. I sold ladies’ shoes. I worked at an all-night liquor store. I would buy suits that were too big and too long and cut the bottom of the pants off to make ties so I’d have a tie to go on job interviews. I grew up understanding what it was like to not have health insurance for eight years.

So this idea that I’m somehow the “Hollywood elite” and this guy who takes a shit in a gold toilet is somehow the man of the people is laughable.

People in Hollywood, for the most part, are people from the Midwest who moved to Hollywood to have a career. So this idea of “coastal elites” living in a bubble is ridiculous. Who lives in a bigger bubble?

He lives in a gold tower and has twelve people in his company. He doesn’t run a corporation of hundreds of thousands of people he employs and takes care of. He ran a company of twelve people!

When you direct a film you have seven different unions all wanting different things, you have to find consensus with all of them, and you have to get them moving in the same direction.

He’s never had to do any of that kind of stuff. I just look at it and I laugh when I see him say “Hollywood elite.” Hollywood elite? I don’t have a star on Hollywood Boulevard, Donald Trump has a star on Hollywood Boulevard! Fuck you!"

After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November. @realdonaldtrump

@XfinitySupport I tried to send you a new DM, but it just adds on to the existing thread.

[ElisaB @elisabPDX]

Hey @Xfinity @XfinitySupport I’ve been without service since January 13 w/no update other than “you have an outage in your area”. It’s safe to return to the neighborhood; power’s been restored for almost a week. Burning thru my Xfinity mobile data trying to get an update.

[ElisaB @elisabPDX]

[ElisaB @elisabPDX]

@XfinitySupport I already have a private DM in process. Yesterday afternoon they said they’d keep it open and give me an ETA but they haven’t responded to my DMs this morning.

[ElisaB @elisabPDX]

@XfinitySupport Done - thanks.

[ElisaB @elisabPDX]

@portlandgeneral Thanks for the update - I’ve been trying to report an outage via phone or app all morning @portlandgeneral

[Covid Caution - BA.3.2, XFG, LF.7, LP.8.1 @CovidCaution]

Posting this again because it's quite sobering.

A graph from Santa Clara Public health showing official COVID-19 cases overlaid with wastewater.

The two were hand-in-hand until testing ramped down.

This shows using official cases is NOT a true indicator of the state of COVID.

Looks like you might have some competition, @bibleproject.
