You would think that those to whom all of our money flows would have figured by now that first, this shit won't fly anymore. The "Marie Antoinette"-moment is just around the corner. And second, even if we could be cowed further, they would just be the naked mad kings ruling over a broken land.

No! Wait until Trump dies. Otherwise, all of his cronies get pardons.

Hamilton 68: A New Tool to Track Russian Disinformation on Twitter *New Brief:Β The Methodology of the Hamilton 68 Dashboard* Since Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. election, many have warned that Putin will be back in 2018 and 2020.Β  But the reality is that R...

What is amazing to me is that so many of you are surprised by the extent of this. It was obvious years ago that this was so. I mean Hamilton 68 (securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/hamilton-68-...) was from 2017!

No. What described is not piracy. Note: I said I pay for all of the streaming networks. For me, torrents are a faster way to get what I want. I don’t have to know what source streams the show takes time. Moreover Fair Use exists even for copywrite content that isn’t commercialized.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.

Lean into this. No spending at big chains. Shop local business, or put off short term needs that you can't find local solutions for.

Hey, remember the "For the People Act" in the 116th congress? It passed the House and would have passed the Senate had it not been for Joe Manchin and Kirstin Sinema refusing to carve out a filibuster exception for democracy reform. Given the last 5 years, do you think those 2 still sleep at night?

For those that don’t know, torrents are distributed downloads of basically any media available to anyone. You don’t pay for the software, or the downloads. It’s free. Most torrent sites require that you also make your downloads available to the rest of the community as another upload resource.

Get into torrents. I just pay for all of the streams, but most of the time it is way easier to download a show from my fav torrent site and watch it rather than figure out which streaming service it is on, and recall how to access that service.

My take on the recent election wins: @indivisible and local chapters, NoKings etc., and other activist organizers deserve a ton of credit. The frothiness, among progressives, churned by these organizers, drove turnout to 11 and tamped down @gop enthusiasm.

Head’s up folks. This is happening. Don’t spend your money at national corporations that week. Plan ahead. Shop locally, and stock up.

OK. If 3i/Altas is a ship and not a rock, let's hope it doesn't come to Earth for intro's until after 2028... Otherwise if would be like that Tragically Hip song "Courage (for Hugh MacLennan)" ... 🎡Couldn't Come at a Worse Time...🎀🎡

Jordan Wood for Maine A reformer who works for Maine, not corporations and lobbyists. Join us today to defeat Susan Collins.

None of the many dems in the primary would be offered AIPAC money. Collins is their girl in Maine. It’s more about who would or would not support leadership. Mills is probably the only one that would. The best option is electjordan.com.

That is how it works. And a twist: Maine uses ranked-choice voting in the Primary.

I live in Damariscotta. What skill does he have that will serve us in the Senate? None. He can memorize and deliver a good talk. But that’s not a skill that will be relevant once he’s seated. No understanding of: history, philosophy, political science, management, law. Nope. No thanks.
