Don’t fall into the “absolutely everyone has the same rich interior life as me” trap I lived in forever. Most people do! But Fascism requires a certain number of people who are shockingly simple.

JCO proving what I’ve been saying for years when it comes to engaging with chuds - they don’t care if you think they’re stupid, or hypocritical, or evil (they’ll like it because they hate you). But if you find the way to accurately show how *uncool* they are, you can really really fuck with them.

We're officially live. It's incredibly important to have a real record of how our public servants are behaving and this database will be a powerful tool for researchers, reporters, and ordinary Americans.
1/6 A new standard for public accountability is here. GLOW—Government Lawyers Oversight Watchdog—is officially launching today to hold government lawyers accountable. We're unveiling The Government Lawyers Database at glowlaw.org. #RuleOfLaw #Accountability

3/6 GLOW fills that gap. With The Government Lawyers Database, we create accountability through transparency. There is now a searchable record documenting government attorneys' behavior.

2/6 It's the first-ever public record of U.S. Executive Branch attorneys’ conduct. The core problem: Government lawyers have a fundamental duty to the rule of law, but recent events have shown that some prefer the rule of a person. There is no effective accountability mechanism when this happens.

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

Any attempt to restrict mail-in voting is a direct assault on our democratic process.

Trump will say that now “even the Democrats agree” with him and he was “right all along.” Over a month of brutal pain was inflicted on the American people, and now he’ll claim it was “all the Democrats’ fault” and “they finally came to their senses.”

Compare that with this Progressive version.

Which one helps you feel like you are in control of your vote and making your own decision?

The right-wing makes it simple, empowers the voter, and appeals to feelings.

We on the left aren't explaining things to each other. We gotta change.

It's time for us in the US to admit that we do not have a shared vision, nevermind shared values.

These spaces, and our participation in them, can become a form of containment. It doesn't have to work that way, but it can, if we're not intentional about doing other things.

I waited a day to say this bc I respected everyone's right to vent some anger, but *remember to focus on what you can do*. Whether it's defending your community, taking action around what you've been venting about, whatever — but don't let all of your energy get captured in the social media space.

BREAKING: We won!

Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

So before whining about "messaging", please consider what your own role is in shaping the perception of Democrats online and around the country.

Why are YOU amplifying Dem-bashing, and re-enforcing negative stereotypes about Dems, when the real enemy is the GOP? Ask yourself that.
