the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

This is one of the weaknesses of civility politics, it falls for the form. That humiliating content farming is debate-shaped, we have to treat it as legitimate! Fox News is news-shaped, we have to treat it as legitimate! The Free Press is newspaper-shaped. etc etc.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

Yeah well we have this little thing called freedom of the press. Yeah it’s pretty neat. 3 guys control the media and social media and they have more wealth than half the planet. If you ask about gun control they put you in a dog cage

starting to think maybe RFK Jr. was telling the truth in the hundreds of podcasts and speeches he did about being anti-vax and then lied that one time in front of Congress

I wrote about the absolute moral necessity of Congress impeaching a president who represents a threat to democracy, the nation, and every person on the planet—and also about the practical necessity of doing so, because not doing so tells a incoherent story.

If you care about Medicaid, I need your help. These kids are the best chance we have of saving Medicaid.

Families are on the way to DC. We need to cover van rentals and hotel rooms. I will not, I will NOT, waste your money or time.

Can you help get this donation link in front of your people?

This.
Is.
Not.
A.
Serious.
Comms.
Strategy.

Remember when everyone was patting themselves on the back for say, buying Trump urls which forwarded to Hillary's website in 2016?

It's not a strategy. You get to feel clever for about ten seconds, but it doesn't move the actual needle.

An excellent breakdown of why our current government's delegitimization of science is so damn dangerous when coupled with humanity's propensity to forget its own path to the present.

RFK & co are peddling a version of the past that NEVER existed. Don't buy it.

This seems like a good idea.

In fact, I vaguely remember that we used to do this & it worked really well!

Robert Kennedy Jr. is a dangerous crank and should be forced out one way or another.

His mishandling of measles warrants a congressional inquiry.

If the president can ignore court orders and illegally circumvent, Congress, there is no Constitution. It’s gone. There’s no enumerated right that the president can’t take from you, no law Congress can pass that is binding, and no court that can protect you from any of it. It’s the whole ballgame.

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.

He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords

Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

do we still live in a democratic society? when you can be black bagged and whisked off to a foreign prison without due process and the supreme court reverse engineers legal justifications? when the president disregards congress and courts at his whim? when media bend over backwards to legitimize?
