Oz was my first fandom, before Star Trek, before Star Wars, before Lord of the Rings. And this is a great thread:

Those who only know the Tin Woodman from the movies are likely unaware that in the original fourteen Oz books, his origin story is the most messed-up, horrifying thing you can imagine.

And his ultimate fate is even worse.

Good News: Reparations are finally happening.

Bad News: Well, you’re gonna want to sit down for this one…

@SketchesbyBoze Oz was my first fandom. I was traumatized by the movie (1939 version) as a preschooler, but absolutely loved & devoured the books. My faves: toss-up between Ozma of Oz & Tik-Tok of Oz. Least favorite: The Road to Oz.

Also, the iPad app sucks ass. Either that, or I'm too dumb to use it. (I am not ruling out the possibility of both.) Here it is in landscape mode. Look at all that blank space!

I keep reading that she wasn't a good candidate. And I guess I'm confused. Because *that* sentiment seems to imply that 53% of white women thought the OTHER candidate was the good one. The OTHER candidate ofc being that racist, rapist, illiterate, treasonous, dancing candied yam.

A man tried to steal an election (we have LITERAL recordings AND the testimony of his CO-DEFENDANTS), incite an actual coup (we WATCHED it on TV), and was cool with the potential lynching of his own vice president.

So you can see how I might argue that these "Harris was a

@emmaogreen And all the Supreme Court justices said that they wouldn't vote to overturn Roe v Wade, either

[Magdi Jacobs @magi_jay]

Do we remember what conservative justices-trained by Heritage-said about Roe V. Wade in Senate confirmation hearings? From Alito to Kavanaugh? DO we remember how they obfuscated? Or even lied? All I can do right now is sigh. I've said what I needed to say. I'm disappointed.

@secretgcd You're speaking as if citizens have never been deported before. Look up "Operation Wetback" from the 1950s:

@RonBrownstein The Constitution is irrelevant. The Supreme Court made Trump a Monarch.

[Ronald Brownstein @RonBrownstein]

Same could be said, however, about blanket immunity from criminal prosecution for a president. Deporting citizen kids will be unconstitutional only if enough other #SCOTUS GOP Justices break from Thomas/Alito & Gorsuch, who seem unlikely to say no to Trump on anything.
