Instead of fact-checking Trump, any story featuring him should simply state "this man has told hundreds of lies every day of his public life; everything he says should be suspect; even the things he says that happen to be true should be considered either accidental or harboring suspicious motives."

Universal right to counsel is something we on the left need to talk about more. It's just as important as universal healthcare - just like you don't choose to need Healthcare, you don't choose to get arrested or face eviction or foreclosure or bankruptcy or a debt collector or get sued or divorced.

So much of the American mindset is "someone in a position of authority caused me harm, and I can't wait until I'm in a position of authority over someone so I can do the same to them"

I have long wished that the Democrats were half as radical leftist as every Republican seems to think they are. It does not matter how far right they go, the conservatives will keep moving the goalposts until we have no rights left.

It’s time to mask back up (N95 or better please!)
Resistance is easier when you have your health.
Coping with fascism, climate change, supply chain disruptions & food shortages will be easier if you have your health.
Disabled people need your solidarity. Protect us & protect yourself. Mask up

Finishing my second article on masks in healthcare, and one thing is clear… we are failing our most vulnerable.
Patients are being infected in the place they go to get care, by the people they trust to do no harm.
We know how to prevent these infections & we aren’t even trying

Every single Democratic senator voted to confirm Marco Rubio.
Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.
Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

This is why I don't buy the "everyone was misinformed by the far right ecosystem" unless we're willing to agree that everyone from The Times to msnbc is also far right ecosystem.
How could that Trump voter have believed electing him would make IVF free? She must've been into fringey alternative media, maybe saw it from some influencer, professional media outlets would never oh no.

I don’t have an opinion on this action but I do know that terminally online people who critique a given action w/o proposing some kind of alternative of where people should focus their energy do more harm than good. It’s cynical and dispiriting and it encourages people new to activism to disengage.
Celebrities are pushing Blackout Friday, telling people not to shop at places like Target or Amazon. But it's unclear what Blackout Friday actually stands for – and its creator is a "Mindfulness Coach" who wants to abolish income taxes and the federal government.

I think it's even simpler: they *are* Nazis, and they're mocking the media who won't call them what they are, and they're mocking their current and future victims for their perceived helplessness

Part of the problem with "Democrats" just being "GOP Lite" -- a useless party that is also obsessed with the economy, and by economy they mean stock prices. All propped up by the same billionaires and corporations. Just slightly more publicly presentable and less outwardly ridiculous.

Pass. Instead of asking for more money from your constituents, for a future election, why don't you focus on actually stopping the fascist takeover currently happening, Democrats?

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
