And remember this: the Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. . . . Remember this: Try.

His wife is running the military. He's just there for the booze, the pomade, and the media hits. [prove me wrong]

He lives in the same way he served for four years: obliviously.

Going into someone’s mentions to guilt-trip them this way isn’t civil. It’s asshole behavior. It’s also ineffective, if your objective is to convert them. If you want civil engagement, stop acting like an asshole.

"Hey, those of you trying to get the truth out to as wide an audience as possible before our democracy dies? If you'd just stop what you're doing & develop your own social media platform, while also renouncing the revenue stream your family depends on, just to pass my purity test, that'd be swell!"

This piece perfectly expresses who were are, where we are, and what's at stake. It even offers an out for Trump, and for his "broligarch" cheerleaders, although I doubt they will listen. Read and share.

Oh, right, when he fell for the obvious Kremlin opp. Abbott: useful idiot, or actual asset? We report, you decide.

I'm not an expert, but I don't know that Burr was a traitor per se...we'd only just completed the Louisiana Purchase, a lot of the West was owned by Spain, and even Jefferson thought it would wind up splintering. Burr wasn't trying to topple the govt & take over. At least that's my understanding.
