And if I hear another clueless NYC Dem bleating about "he'll stand up to Trump," I'll lose it on them... HE IS THE MIRROR IMAGE OF TRUMP and HE WILL ROLL OUT THE RED CARPET TO HIM. You are delusional if you don't already know this. Sorry. It's deeply annoying.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

🇬🇪A country once seen as the democratic bright spot of the post-Soviet space is now undergoing the fastest authoritarian regression in modern European history. 🧵Here’s a thread to keep you updated on what’s happening - and why it matters. 1/23

That's why I keep screaming that he needs to be front and center. Drop Trump and start focusing on him. He's the one actually making all these plans and writing all those EOs anyway.

It doesn't serve us to ignore it and not to add together and confront what's obviously happening and who's behind it. And no, it's not him. The question is not just who, but what's their end game?

The fact that his government is completely incompetent is what's going to hurt them.

Good odds that June 2025 goes down as a fundamental turning point in American civil-military norms longer term (for several reasons).

I look forward to Stephen Miller being tried for his crimes against humanity--along with Tom Homan and Kristi Noem--and receiving the most severe penalties allowed by law.

Fine, let's just start paying him whatever we think he's worth.

This indictment is no more justified than the original charges. I will not be intimidated. My full statement:

It's time for serious journalists, analysts and activists to fish or cut bait about using Twitter. I think those who don't come in and start establishing themselves here right now will regret it later.

Thank goodness more people are starting to say this. @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com

Make them define and list "third world." A lot of people they're talking to don't even know what that means, which is why they're using it. They think it sounds scary.

I'm rural, but my grandparents were city mice, and I love cities. I rarely get to see them, but I love them.

I noticed that Jain, who I used to respect, has changed his profile to include AI engineer. I think he's probably angling for work.

If you're in a red state or a red district and can help a local Democrat, even if they don't win, that's probably the best use of your spare time besides talking to people face to face and spreading truth wherever you can.

Part of a great conversation I had with Andra Watkins of For Such A Time As This. Republican policies may start in red states, but that's not where they end. Run everywhere. Fight everywhere. #everystateblue

Since everything he says is projection, you've got to wonder who is being paid that are magas to be there and by whom.

I wonder if they were on their phone.

The siloing of social media and information sources has been very intentional and systematic.

Tom Cotton has publicly called for the US Military to be deployed against US citizens to mass murder them for exercising their rights at least four times & also called for private citizens to run over protesters too.

@hallieshoffner.bsky.social is #tomcotton 's opponent. Please follow! #arpx #Arkansas #nokings

Anxious to help this campaign. @50501arkansas.bsky.social @arkdems.org #arpx #Arkansas #tomcotton #project2026 @jonesforar.bsky.social

Why is our most rabid and bloodthirsty cracker literally named Tom Cotton from Arkansas

If they fail at this they won't likely succeed anywhere else, so they will throw all they can at trying to wrench public opinion to the aggressors. Same with corporate media.

Time/place. Social media isn't a diary or a therapist.

I've had that in my profile almost since I got here. If you pop up in my Discover feed I block you.

the "game over" impulse is bad, and people need to cut that shit out. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/game-over-...

Addressing them directly by name with some condescending adjectives thrown in were nice touches.

One thing Newsom has shown is key to effectively deal with Trump & the MAGA propaganda machine: You must respond immediately & call out the lies. You can’t wait until hours/days later, then answer in a press conference, statement, scripted speech. All Dems should learn from it.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Every time RFK is in the news for doing something horrific (example: firing the entire vaccine safety board), I become increasingly more disgusted with Olivia Nuzzi. What a gross weirdo.

I was disgusted with her before all that came out. That whole ilk of political reporter is just too cozy with the people they're supposed to be covering, and a lot of them just think they're too cool for school because of it.

Because he makes those pathetic losers look stupid AND tastelessly dressed instead of cool and macho like they wish.

Rich and powerful white trash is still trash.

This is a great chance for the country to get out from under the thumb of corporate media.

To do that, the current administration has, completely unprovoked, attacked and invaded an American city.

Let me remind you: The senate passed bipartisan immigration reform in 2024. Trump panicked and ordered Mike Johnson not to bring it to the House floor. He feared its passage would help Biden win. Johnson complied. Then, Trump made immigration a major campaign issue and won. And here we are.

They're gonna start nabbing the best dressed man in any crowd.

I wish someone, anyone, would tell him that straight to his face, looking him dead in the eye, and see how he reacts. I would for once love to see my suspicions confirmed. I know how he acted with the governor of Maine, mumbling and looking down at his shoes.

Who does he think he’s talking to? Dude grew up 3 miles from me in Queens and talks like doesn’t know what country he lives in.

Now is the time to stop giving these people one minute of rest. Make them do their jobs.

I just called Congressman Sam Graves‘s office to ask about highway funding and the young man told me I didn’t know understand which district I live in and then hung up on me. Here’s Sam’s Kansas City number if you have any questions about highway funding: 816.792.3976

Poll-centric activism and punditry make three mistaken assumptions about public opinion: 1. You can measure it easily 2. It's stable over time 3. Messaging has small effects I have written several articles over the last month about why these are mistakes. Links in next tweet gelliottmorris.com

It's time to take gloves off, play hardball, & name administration heads. Kristi Noem killed her family PUPPY. She didn't blink to deport a sick child. She was sending a 4 year old to starve to death, a little girl with a rare disease who will die if she is deported. @kenmartin.bsky.social #nokings

Start with the fact that they're not rounding up criminals. They're rounding up you and your family and friends and they will get to you eventually, if they haven't already. @democrats.org
