The ladders of logic: How we climb down from theory or up from observation to reach conclusions. A little tip for everyone interesting in building better arguments.

🧵When someone you likes uses an obviously bad arguments, we have three options:

1️⃣ Reactive: Double down & defend
2️⃣ Rational: Offer better arguments
3️⃣ Strategic: Elevate better voices

Not surprisingly, folks are fearful of the actions taking place in Washington and the consequences they'll have on working Montanans and their families. More than anything, Montanans want answers from their representatives -- not bogus template letters. Zinke, Sheehy, Daines, and Downing have none. That's why they're nowhere to be found. The refusal by our congresssmen and senators to answer Montanans is an abdication of responsibility. They are in Washington to represent Montana's interests -- not their own, not Donald Trump's, and not Elon Musk's. Interim Executive Director, Justin Ailport

It’s time for our Republican delegation to open their doors and face the music. They represent Montana and its people, and their lack of advocacy on our behalf is a disgrace.

Montana: Here's what's next on the DOGE chopping block. Social Security offices in Kalispell and Missoula. Customs and Border Patrol in Shleby. Bureau of Indian Affairs in Pablo. Motor Carrier Safety Administration in Helena. Fish and Wildlife service in Great Falls. Fish and Wildlife service and Fish Health Center in Bozeman. Animal and Plant Health Inspection in Billings. Natural Resources Conservation in Missoula. Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center in Bozeman. These cuts don't prevent "waste, fraud, and abuse". They only make it harder for Montana to still be the Last Best Place.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are hacking away Montanans’ livelihoods every chance they get. Layoffs, office closures, and a neglected environment don’t prevent corruption – they just make life unnecessarily harder.

"Thanks" to Trump. 😠

Elon Musk IS a dick.

Go into? Only one side "went into" and it was Putin.

‘Who the Hell Voted for… Big Balls?!’ CNN Panel Melts Down Over Musk Hires Former White House strategist Paul Begala is the latest Democratic figure to take issue with the young DOGE whiz kid.

“Who the hell voted for Mr. Musk?” Paul Begala raged on CNN. “Who the hell voted for — excuse the phrase — a guy who calls himself Big Balls? A 19-year-old kid going in there and trying to fire cancer researchers and scientists and teachers and agricultural specialists. It’s, it’s appalling.”

Hey @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

A tweet from redhead ophelia ( @redhead_ophelia ) with a Ukrainian flag emoji in the bio reads: "As a Ukrainian, I just want to say: fuck all of you who voted for Trump, chose to vote for a third candidate, or stayed at home. Ukrainian blood is on your hands - not that you care, but still." Below this tweet, there is a screenshot of a tweet from "Donald J. Trump Posts From His Truth Social" ( @TrumpDailyPosts ) which states: "I just had a lengthy and highly productive phone call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. We discussed Ukraine, the Middle East, Energy, Artificial Intelligence, the power of the Dollar, and various other subjects. We both reflected on the Great History of our Nations, and... Show more"

We hurt for more than ourselves by electing him. Far, far more.

Is there a way to set something like this up for other states? Montana, for example?

‎5 Calls: Contact Your Congress ‎**As seen on MSNBC...**

I just used @5calls.org ’s app to call both my senators, my governor, and both state reps to urge them to oppose the radical actions of this new administration.

Posting on social media isn’t enough. Take action. Making calls like these is a good start. #2+2=4 apps.apple.com/us/app/5-cal...

And in case you were wondering, yes, there are plenty of things Democrats in the House and Senate can do...

Call and demand they take real action! This alarming takeover must be met with forceful public resistance. ➡️ 5calls.org/issue/elon-m...

In 24 hours, you made over *100,000* calls to your reps to make your voice heard. Let's keep up this momentum! 🎉🙌🔥

it’s my strong belief that repetition and continuity are essential right now. members of congress not let into USAID today? go back tomorrow. keep going back and asking “what are you hiding?” until you get an answer. one press conference isn’t going to impress upon people how important this is.

Oppose Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Secretary of Health and Human Services ⭑ 5 Calls UPDATE (01/30/25): The Senate held hearings on Kennedy’s nomination on 01/29/25. A confirmation vote is expected soon. The US Department of …

Vaccine denier RFK Jr has advanced out of committee, now headed for a full Senate vote. Tell your Senators to oppose his nomination or we'll end up with a gutted health department too

Giving access to SSN’s & other personal data of government employees to non-employees is a violation of USC 552a & carries a penalty of $1000 per person whose data was accessed.

Why aren’t the federal employees reaching out to their union to sue Musk for all that he is worth?

Musk broke the law.

bruh. this is what’s gonna be holding federal funding hostage.

what the shit.

I encourage all to download the “5 Calls” app. It gives you all the direct numbers to call your representatives. Start calling and voicing your outrage at what is happening!

🚨BREAKING: Federal judge BLOCKS Trump spending freeze. A big victory for @democracyforward.bsky.social and their clients. Also a win for democracy and the rule of law.

Trump just announced Sean Parnell as the chief Pentagon Spokesman.

Parnell’s wife testified under oath that he repeatedly choked her. He ultimately lost custody of his children.

Elon Musk says we should allow more WHITE South Africans to emigrate to the US. Not South Africans of any other race - specifically WHITE South Africans only.

They have trashed valuable products your tax money paid for.

Elon Musk’s Blitz Shakes U.S. Government as He Sweeps Through Agencies The billionaire is creating major upheaval as his team sweeps through agencies, in what has been an extraordinary flexing of power by a private individual.

What this long and detailed NYT piece calmly calls an “extraordinary flexing of power by a private individual” is in fact a blatantly unconstitutional usurpation of Congress’s Article I powers and delegation of the President’s Article II duties.

I went to many events at Metra and worked cleaning bathrooms during games to make a few bucks in high school.
