What kind of attorney?

Chris, Stop covering the salacious bickering. These two men are intentionally distracting the media from covering the big bad bill. They are successfully manipulating the attention economy.

Lesson 1: Do not obey in advance.
Thread of lessons from my book #OnTyranny. Written in 2016.

In the words of AOC, an echo chamber just won an election.

You can do it when you’re famous.

Fucking hell.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.

Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

"Christian Reconstructionism is now at the edge of power in the United States, and the attitude of the relevant people towards the female body and indeed towards rape is an essential element of what is happening and what is likely to happen."

Men and Women Perform Handmaid Fails, 1/3

"In the Republic of Gilead's dystopian future, men and women perform the services assigned to them."
This is the summary of "The Handmaid's Tale" in the NYT bestseller list.

Yes, people can sue him. And they will. Until he has his militia “handle them.”

His greed cannot be satiated.

I’m sure they are feverishly busy gaming this out and planning. Notice we have not seen Kamala Harris since the day after the election. She know how serious this is.

Guess we should be glad she didn’t shoot the dog?

Florida hates Florida? This tracks.

Voting is compulsory in Brazil. People in poverty could care less who wins, they’ll vote for the person who gave them a t shirt. Also there are like twenty political parties. Hard to compare this apples to apples to the US.

What. The. Fuck.

I think we are all missing the point here. MAGA is conveying that men sexually assaulting girls and women is perfectly fine. And it’s not just that they are willing to overlook it. Such displays of oppressive masculinity in fact will be rewarded.

Addition: they also hate everyone who isn’t a man.

Why is this being reported as if it were a governmental function? How is this not a shadow government?

When POTUS declares a nat’l emergency, 100+ special provisions become available, some dangerously suited to amassing or retaining power. He can shut down many kinds of electronic communications, freeze bank accounts, deploy troops to subdue domestic unrest.

Men sexually assaulting girls and women is fine. Normalized. Maybe it’s even a demonstration of oppressive masculinity that’ll get you elevated. Your body, my choice. That’s the mind-blowing message.

The right wing has a massive disinfo echo chamber: cable, film, newspapers, YouTube, social media, podcasts, and radio worth billions of dollars.

And so, too few voters heard clearly about Democrats plans to help Americans via @mayatcontreras.bsky.social

The message Trump is sending is that men sexually assaulting girls and women is perfectly fine, and is more likely to get you a job in his administration than it is to block you from one. These men will be elevated, not charged.

Do you wonder what his retaliation plan is for E. Jean Carroll?

The media didn’t have to normalize and sanewash a cognitively diminished felon who ran on retribution, racism & destruction. Or memory-hole his disastrous first term.

Yet our national press did, so now we face the most terrifying chapter in U.S. history. www.damemagazine.com/2024/11/19/d...

Looking to choose your activist lane? If you're in ARIZONA, NEVADA, VIRGINIA, MICHIGAN, or NORTH CAROLINA, ask your senators and reps to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact to neuter the Electoral College and elect the popular vote winner as President. via @rbreich.bsky.social

"Third, we can protect election infrastructure in swing states to make sure a 2028 election actually takes place."

Everyone NOT in a swing state needs to pick a swing state and make that one of their activist lanes for the next four years.
