Living in VT w/my super wife Lauren & our 2 pups Roxy & Mac. Worked in politics doing campaign work, PR & gov’t affairs for 20 years. Still dabble. maga is antifa for the right. It means nothing and lacks clarity. Just call them what they are, Republicans
Pinned
Name your top 5 issues. Hell your top 10. If you think the Republicans will EVER help fix them you’re delusional. We will NEVER be a country that has a strong democracy, ensures equality for all or provides an economy for the many not millionaires & billionaires as long as the GOP exists.

There are no good Republicans. If you’re even a tiny bit decent you left the Republican Party long ago. And if you’re staying it after all this you’re part of the problem.
The same people who i used to fight with in the GOP, who wanted to withdraw American troops from everywhere, are now the ones justifying the murder of two survivors.
It’s almost like…. It was never about that

Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

It’s incredibly difficult to see how something this bad gets fixed in the near future. It will take decades to repair the damage done.
#BrokenTimes credulity: The Supreme Court is illegitimate and stacked with extremists but The Times is just wowed about the White House's success before them.

I think Noah is amazing. Great writer with excellent insights. But calling this maga fascism opposed to what it is which is Republican fascism is wrong and harmful. He’s said there’s no difference but there’s a HUGE difference. The vast majority of voters don’t equate maga & Republicans as the same

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.
Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.
