Punitive processes make narrowly targeted programs *less* efficient and *more* costly. Because more scrutiny requires more bureaucracy.
Punitive processes also make it *less* likely that people will get aid for which they qualify. Because of the roadblocks and stigma scrutiny creates.

This is it. "What do you think calling your electeds will do?"
Make them feel about me the same way everyone who's ever defaulted on student loans feels about their voicemail.

Ask not what your representative will do for you (nothing), ask how you can make your representative so miserable they quit their job
My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds.
I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are.
My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.

There are some typos in this 🧵, my apologies, it is very late
I think my points are clear enough—it boils down to this: there's some chance that making phone calls demanding a stop to this could help save some number of lives. I think that's worth trying. Call your MoC & Senators, whoever they are.

And then they're going to be like "How did we get here?" and "Well obviously we have tried to be too decent and we should shift to being meaner" even though they actually did not try to be decent at all and were fine letting that Overton Window shift and shift and shift.

It's not great having to ask for help - but if you've enjoyed any of our books, we'd be hugely grateful if you could let people know about them (and where you can buy them)
Word of mouth is... pretty important, right now

I'm getting a bit tired of people saying Canada's Liberals are exactly the same as the Conservatives when the Liberals, unlike the Conservatives, are not interested in hunting trans people for sport

"...and a few million years later the universe arranged itself according to trillions-to-one odds so that you can exist and, somehow, instead of living in a perpetual state of wonder and gratitude, you get annoyed that we ran out of toilet paper."
Lovely. Give it a read.

If you never knew about the little dagger symbol in the NYT bestseller list, it’s a fun rabbit hole. Go look it up.
Open industry secret: most political non-fiction books get purchased by foundations or non-profits to be given out with giftbags at events. 100,000 people aren't buying a book by Lauren Boebert on the future of America. GOP operatives are and giving them away for free as "gifts." BEST SELLER!
“American Canto,” one of the most hyped political books of the year, flopped in bookstores.
