2/ Itโ€™s not just the volume thatโ€™s ridiculousโ€”itโ€™s the messaging. Here are some of the tactics Iโ€™ve seen over the years: - Shaming - Claiming โ€œour recordsโ€ show Iโ€™m voting for Trump - Disguising emails to look like Google Scholar alerts - *Coughing* at me in the subject line (???)

1/ A thread on the madness of Dem fundraising and why it needs to change ๐Ÿงต ๐Ÿ“ˆ Look at this chart of political fundraising emails I received in 2024: - 3,212 fundraising emails in total. - 48 in a single day! Badgering your supporters is disrespectful, annoying, and, frankly, counterproductive.

Jakie (a fennec fox) is a mascot for the Kadoma Film Commission. The inside of his ears are blue and white, like clouds floating in the sky, and he has a video play button on his forehead. He weighs the same as 60 ferrets and carries around a puffer fish named Zubora-chan.

No, they donโ€™t. Many die in power after murdering and oppressing millions without consequence. They are then replaced by offspring and lackeys who do the same. To depose โ€” or even withstand โ€” a tyrant takes great resilience, and to act as if the fall is inevitable is an insult to those who suffer.

Absolutely. Itโ€™s what threatens them all from Iran to Saudi Arabia to Israel. They cannot exist in the same way if the region was free from tyrants.

The greatest threat to Israel is not Iran. Iran strengthens the narrative of Israel. Israel's greatest threat is a region free of tyrants. It is Arab tyrants that score official or unofficial arrangements with Israel at the expense of their own people and freedom of Palestinians.

Reminder: NEVER share ANYTHING youโ€™re not certain feds and cops already know. Not even your name, mood, or favorite color. ALL you EVER say are these 2 phrases: If not being arrested or if unsure: โ€œI donโ€™t have any information about that. Am I free to go?โ€ If arrested: โ€œLAWYER. NOW.โ€ 1/

Itโ€™s an indictment of our failures as a society that Baldwin and Kingโ€™s commentaries on the brokenness of the US in the 1960s are as incisive and meaningful now as they were then. Sixty years and we havenโ€™t fixed whatโ€™s wrong.

๐ŸšจPlease donโ€™t scroll past this. I lost my main support recently, and everything has fallen apart. Iโ€™m struggling a lot, and asking for help is not easy. No one around me sees or understands how deeply Iโ€™m hurting or what Iโ€™m going through. I feel invisible, Please donโ€™t overlook meโ€ผ๏ธ #mutualaid

one of my favs: โ€œWhen wealth is passed off as merit, bad luck is seen as bad character. This is how ideologues justify punishing the sick and the poor. But poverty is neither a crime nor a character flaw. Stigmatise those who let people die, not those who struggle to live.โ€ Sarah Kendzior

โ€œIsrael killed more than 200 Palestinians in Gaza on Saturday, including 40 members of a single family. The official death toll in Gaza is now over 44,000, although experts believe that is a vast undercount of the true figure.โ€

Writers: yes, you are still a "real" writer if you - have never published anything - have no readers - didn't write anything this month - didn't write anything this year - can't articulate words anymore - can only float and mournfully wail - were murdered ten years ago on this very spot

It's highly recommended that you get Sarah's books from a LOCAL seller or library. Here she wrote about Garland's role in this whole rise to fascism nightmare. : "The FBI and DOJ need to protect Trump, because in doing so, they protect themselves."

In case you're STILL confused about mafia enabler Merrick Garland, please read this article. I wrote it in 2023. It is not a response to current events. It explains why the these events would happen unless good people intervened -- which they did not. sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/servants-o...

If youโ€™re having a debate inside the Democratic Party about the role of pressure groups & special interests in determining your agenda, & making you take unpopular positions that cost you swing states, & youโ€™re not mentioning AIPAC then youโ€™re not actually having a real debate.
