FL Senator Ashley Moody has a lot to answer for…

emptywheel@emptywheel.bsky.social

CBS reports that Ashley Moody did precisely what the entire GOP has accused Tim Walz of doing -- and yet, somehow, that crack fraud task force has not arrested the GOP nominee for Senate. www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/f...

Thanks for the reminder. We are rarely helpless. We have agency and we must act on it and not despair.

1/ There are 2 writers I return to whenever the world feels heavy, Hannah Arendt & Viktor Frankl. Both stared directly into the darkest chapter of the twentieth century. Neither looked away, and neither despaired. What they found there is exactly what we need right now

1/ Republicans spent 20 years quietly building boards, authorities, and agencies that answer to nobody. Now those boards are making billion-dollar decisions your vote cannot touch. Utah just showed us exactly how it works in Red States TX, MO, TN, OH, etc #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Pierre Bourdieu once argued that the question of whether something is art isn't answered by the artist's intention or even the object itself. Instead, the quality of being "art" is conferred by a community — curators, dealers, auction houses, audiences, etc. 🧵

1/ Voters in Texas got lied to. "Parental Rights" was a shield for vouchers. "Transparency" let the governor silence judges. A "Water Fund" handed $1B to private equity. "Border Relief" became a tax shelter. Four traps, four lies. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Everyone blaming potential victims and witnesses for “not talking” or “speaking out” are also at fault for upholding the institutions that empower and protect predators. It’s not the responsibility of the abused to protect the public but the public to protect the vulnerable. Tyrants are created.

Matt has been a mentor and a friend to half the critics coming up in the past few decades. He helped me get my very first gig. His bookstore is a treasure trove of gorgeous art and behind the scenes knowledge. I can't recommend it enough.
