The tech industry has an uncanny number of moral degenerates in leadership posts.

Thread on counterweights to whatever the maga 14th amendment version of “Actually, Fitzgerald v Nixon made the president an emperor” will be.

Tommy Bags O’Cash wouldn’t steer you wrong.

Good thread on MAGA’s “neo-royalism,” which bears a very strong resemblance to mafia thugs divvying up turf.

Dems are completely AWOL on moral language. AOC employs it at her very best. Others talk about affordability amidst crimes against humanity. People understand exactly what’s in their wallet.

“It probably isn’t a good idea to telegraph threats like a James Bond villain. Vacillating European liberal leaders are now less likely to be hesitant than in the past.” www.programmablemutter.com/p/america-ha...

Everyone discovering that Farage, a professional racist, is sorta racist is a future media studies project I guess.

Sounds delusional, but could be intended as diplomatic - ie an attempt to at least slow down/limit growing US enmity to EU/alignment with Putin, buying some time for EU to develop own capacity

It's the 160th anniversary of the United States' refounding, the ratification of the 13th Amendment.

Trump’s Security Strategy Focuses on Profit, Not Spreading Democracy

For those who used to complain about American hypocrisy, welcome to the no-hypocrisy world. Vice is no longer paying tribute to virtue, and the result will be a lot more vice.

Thread on criminal regime.

Democrats Need to Treat the Supreme Court Like the Villain It Is The Court is out of control, and we'll never see reform unless we build the case for it. Starting now.

Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.
