No heroes. No easy answers. When fascism came to America Trump was wrapped in the flag and Pence carried the cross.
Yeah I'm anti fascist. You?
No fukery zone.
PSA: If an iPhone is stolen, DO NOT REMOVE IT FROM YOUR ACCOUNT. Some underworld cretin may make empty threats about data they don't have, but it's to TRICK YOU to MARK THE PHONE UNUSED SO THEY CAN SELL IT. Do not respond. They will sell it for parts instead. They're powerless.
"It's rare that the negotiations over these types of prisoner swaps are out in the open like this, and honestly, that probably gives Russia a lot of the leverage," @SecureDemocracy's David Salvo speaks with @CNN following Brittany Griner's guilty verdict: invidious.fdn.fr/znEv5vcVxzs
From December 2021: “Senate Republicans are eyeing a procedural move to prevent the insulin cap from applying to privately insured Americans, seeking to deny Democrats a talking point … even if it means that some patients will go without relief.” washingtonpost.com/health/20…
BREAKING: Mesa County GOP head says multiple people told him Clerk Tina Peters' rep Sherronna Bishop, podcaster Joe Oltmann, and Stand for the Constitution members plotted to "storm the Clerks Office and destroy the Voting Machines," in Facebook exchange with Bishop's husband.
As I have said, the constitutionality, under the Texas state constitution, of the Texas punitive damages cap is debatable. Lots of wrinkles, which would have to be litigated out. Here are some of them. 1/
Let me just say for the record: In the conversations I've had with New Yorker staff, they told me that @erinoverbey was a *favorite* colleague, in part because she took an important stand. Those people don't speak for everyone, but they are people I trust on issues of race.
I've been accused of “whistleposturing” and not having any interest in diversity aside from, Oh, what was it, saving my own skin or career or what have you. Really? @newyorker has known for months how public I am—and this is the best line of attack the crack minds come up with?
It’s amazing how fluent illiberal and authoritarian foreign leaders—Orban, Putin, etc.—are with right-wing US culture war rhetoric.
This weirdly transnational nationalism, unified by joint hatreds, is a defining feature of our age.
It should probably be a bigger deal that Viktor Orban is speaking at CPAC Dallas today. His own minister resigned over his Nazi style rhetoric decrying "race mixing." The overt white supremacy is not a bug, it's a feature.
"First, is it true that after Kavanaugh-related tips were separated from regular tip line traffic, they were forwarded to White House counsel without investigation?"
@SenWhitehouse questions Wray about the Kavanaugh investigation during his confirmation.
No more euphemisms. Say it clearly: These Trumpist candidates for governor and secretary of state are running on a vow to ensure that as long as they have control over elections, no Democrat will ever win a presidential election in their state again.

In late 2008, the religious associations of Sarah Palin, picked by John McCain as his vice presidential running mate, became timely.
"Expert" sociologists proclaimed her to be a generic Pentecostal. They weren't at all looking at what was going on at the churches Palin attended
SCOOP from me and @swin24: January 6th committee is planning to request Alex Jones' text messages and emails from the Sandy Hook attorneys after his lawyer accidentally sent years worth of comms to the plaintiffs. rollingstone.com/politics/po…
Speaking of Chad Wolf's missing texts ... in 2020 I wrote about his imperious texts to me as he led a DHS crusade against BLM after George Floyd's murder. Wolf was key in forging an alternate Fox News reality where Jan. 6 was nothing next to BLM protests.
