But will they be allowed to vote? They’ve already shut down early voting sites because the wrong colored people were voting hoping they wouldn’t be back again the next day, come back tomorrow and bring someone either you. Don’t know about Texas, but my state, law is, you’re in line you get to vote.

Nothing strange at all about the third wife of the president, whose immigration papers he won't release, revealing she has direct access to Putin, that she didn't use as Russia slaughtered and kidnapped tens of thousands of Ukrainian kids.

This is long. I hope you’ll read it anyway. I’ve brought the tea: claims of noncitizen voting, last minute pre-election charges; it’s the same tired playbook & it's failed before. They’re hoping you don't remember. But knowledge is power. Read here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-reoccu...

SCOTUS making him a King was bad. Congress shirking their responsibility was unconscionable. The greatest sin is the media failing to report the things he says and does without sanewashing them.

Good thread. As @volts.wtf points out, the only way for Dems to deal with this is to just plow through it. As I suggest in the piece, Ossoff and El-Sayed seem to understand this. They don't get knocked off course by fake MAGA outrage or media's tendency to launder it. They just run right through it.

This has been the fundamental mechanism through which political media operates my entire life. The right makes a bunch of noise about a fake scandal, the mainstream media "covers the controversy," & normie voters get the vague impression that Dems are constantly involved in scandal.

I’m devastated. It will take 20 yrs to get the world to not see us as a rogue nation.

Truth. 💯!

Tying health insurance to jobs keeps people from leaving to pursue better opportunities, because they can't go without insurance for even a short time. It also keeps people, often women, in violent marriages if their spouse provides insurance. Our current system is costly, broken, and oppressive.

Breaking news: Elon’s trying to buy his way back with a pledge to give every child in the US a share in SpaceX, a giveaway worth roughly $10.5B. I’d rather see him deported.

An absolutely brutal supercut for Trump. On February 1, 2023: "If I were president, I'd be able to negotiate an end to this horrible and rapidly escalating war in 24 hours" Today: "I think it's time for somebody else to negotiate on behalf of Ukraine"

Catching up on Dark Matter S2; just finished E5. Wow. That. Is. All. Except for give Joel Edgerton all the awards (especially since Train Dreams was stiffed). I'll be watching Love and Be Loved again and again.

Weekend reading: I wrote a brief history of the Right deriding anything that threatens the social and racial hierarchy, any sort of leveling attempt, as "communism" or “socialism.” This week’s piece - about the Right’s attempts to demonize the idea of equality:

steady.pageDemonizing DemocracyThe Right has long derided any attempt at leveling racial and social hierarchies as anti-American “socialism” or “communism.” What they are actually fighting is equality.

it's the 'I have money so I must be smart" cognitive bias, when you can see all around you that there are loads of incredibly smart people who actually serve the public interests who are trying to solve actual problems and who are not having money thrown at them.

1,000 years from now, teachers will struggle to explain to their students how at this time in history, we found literally the most despicable human being in America and made him the most powerful person in the world

Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."

Pardon me if I don't take parenting advice from a kooky narcissist whose son is the second-worst person living in the US and who abandons his own children. Zip it, sister.
