Left-of-Center dude. Ranting about #COVID19 #Fascism & #Climate. Angry at all who reject the above 3 realities.

@ErikThurman It's like they want fascism to win

With @npr leaving Twitter (4 good rzn), I’m re-contemplating this too. It’s hard bc all of my research is here, & I spent years building my platform here. But I will try to start posting more on Spoutible and Mastodon. If u like my content here, pls follow me there also. TY. 1/

@JasonOverstreet I mean holy shit appoint a 25 year old progressive woman to her seat and let her get 60 years.

I cannot believe such a disingenuous take is being bandied about.

[757 Progressive 🆘️🦠🇺🇸🌏🔥 @hrprogressive]

@OhMyGiddyAuntie I'd prefer they make a giant example of Trump, first.

[757 Progressive 🆘️🦠🇺🇸🌏🔥 @hrprogressive]

I *promise* you the powers that be will make the biggest example out of the 21 year old moron while letting the former potus get away with the same crime.

The criminal impunity only applies if you're already in the Fascist inner circle

[757 Progressive 🆘️🦠🇺🇸🌏🔥 @hrprogressive]

@Angry_Staffer You're right.

It's far, far worse.

[757 Progressive 🆘️🦠🇺🇸🌏🔥 @hrprogressive]

@Angry_Staffer Cool, now tell me why the same speed hasn't been applied to the former potus who has admitted doing the same thing / far worse if he sold secrets to our enemies.

[757 Progressive 🆘️🦠🇺🇸🌏🔥 @hrprogressive]

Gonna guess the idiot kid is gonna suffer meaningful consequences long before the former president who did basically the same thing

@Lenoxus @lefttwick This country should not have lifers in political office, whether Ted Kennedy or Don Young.

You cannot change my mind about this.

[757 Progressive 🆘️🦠🇺🇸🌏🔥 @hrprogressive]

@Lenoxus @lefttwick I'd love to believe this is true, but decades of corruption, revolving door of lobbying, and billions of dollars in campaign cash say otherwise.

If you like Rep X or Y and they termed out, you find you a candidate who vows to carry on their work, but gets to be their own person.

[757 Progressive 🆘️🦠🇺🇸🌏🔥 @hrprogressive]

@bradys_01 @lefttwick Choice is an illusion, and outside of a few persons here and there, you're gonna get someone who is gonna spend all their time courting and pleasing donors, because without gazillions of dollars, they can't keep their seat.

[757 Progressive 🆘️🦠🇺🇸🌏🔥 @hrprogressive]

@bradys_01 @lefttwick The problem I have with this premise is that the concept of being represented by anyone in the House is a joke

1) districts being drawn by politicians to protect themselves is a farce

2) the size of the constituencies is ridiculously large.

[757 Progressive 🆘️🦠🇺🇸🌏🔥 @hrprogressive]

@bradys_01 @lefttwick By and large, the American electorate has their choices forced upon them by billionaire megadonors, corrupt party apparatuses, gerrymandered districts, and a lack of term limits which allow pols to latch on like ticks and not let go.

I don't even know what I'm scrolling for

[Justin J. Pearson @Justinjpearson]

We are marching to the Shelby County Comission with the people. People Power is greater than any power that attempts to suppress it!

[757 Progressive 🆘️🦠🇺🇸🌏🔥 @hrprogressive]

It's like the Democratic Party has no interest in governing, much less stopping the Fascist Republican Party

[Jeet Heer @HeerJeet]

A serious political party, that cared about power and governing, would not have allowed this to happen.
