Sometimes people give me shit for comparing the talking points of right-wing media and politicians to those of the KKK. I want to say I’m sorry: they’re not comparable, they’re actually identical.

We know all there is to know about fascism and we've known it for a long time.

Nihilistic, dangerous, and contemptible just about covers it, Edward Luce. I'd add hypocritical, void of conscience, and opportunistic -- like an infection.

1. Rebalance SCOTUS by adding 4 seats minimum. Without this, nothing else matters. WHPA would be dead in few months. 2. Massive democracy, like HR1. Extend and protect the franchise for everyone. Get those two things done and everything is possible.

Look how fucking gorgeous these are.

First they came for the Muppets, and I said nothing...

Oh fuck off. Fuck right off.

So long, Gorby...

The Electoral College is a scam to rig elections.

A thread 🧵 On election night Fox News. From jubilation to despair: A thread in 8 tweets. This is an overview of the entire 9 hours worth of coverage. Things started out so hopeful... 1/8

In 1951, Adelbert Ames created the mind-boggling ‘Ames Window’. It’s so effective that even when you know how it works you can’t break the illusion [video from The Curiosity Show: buff.ly/36DvRNs]

What a betrayal by media to air the RNC pretending it’s politics and not an arena of criminals, cutthroats, and traitors aligned with fascists, sharpening their fangs to end democratic governance.

“Even putting aside Trump’s deadly history of policy failure, sexual abuse or his 34 felony convictions — which, to be clear, we shouldn’t — the former president, 78, has been borderline incomprehensible for years.”

This is as good a time as ever to restate: Trump doesn't show empathy because he CAN'T; doesn't feel contrition because he is UNABLE. He CANNOT and DOES NOT see beyond himself. He is NOT strategic - he is transactional. And he cannot pivot, stop, or shut up, even when it serves

Harris and Walz have personalities. Trump and Vance have personality disorders.

This should be in hotel rooms instead of Bibles

I don’t think the Founding Fathers ever envisioned only five states would decide our elections. But here we are. A presidential candidate can lose the popular vote by over 10M votes and still win the election. Fuck the Electoral College.

You can’t say everyone’s vote matters while the electoral college still exists. One vote, one person. The electoral college should have been trashed a long time ago.
