Ossoff isn't "hating" Collins (although Collins deserves it). What he's doing is much more devastating: Just stating the plain truth without pussyfooting around it like some consultant-led pols do. We're so used to mealy-mouthing from the Dems that plain speaking sounds aggressive. It shouldn't.

IMO, This is the whole ballgame. Money corrupts absolutely. Josh Turek: "We need to have campaign finance reform to get dark money out of politics. I want to sponsor a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. We can have oligarchy or we can have democracy. We can't have both."

fwiw if you want to make a strategic case for congressional democrats trying to impeach trump if they take majorities, i think the first step is impeaching hegseth, the bar is lower and the likelihood of success is probably much higher

Such a good thread both for letting you know what's going on in Paris and for showing standard police tactics. Telling protesters to disperse while blocking all the exits, singling people out with the intent to harm, and using tools that we know cause serious bodily harm? That's the cop playbook.

Democrats should not pay any attention to hysterical Republican transphobia because solidarity is the correct and moral choice for a healthy democracy. But also, because now is the time to be a spiteful aggressive bastard. Because the people love it when it's in the service of justice.

I know this is about children, but I think adults need mirrors AND doors too. No matter the group they belong to. Because if you were raised right, you will crave both. And if you weren't raised right, you need what you were deprived of to heal you so you won't be a reactionary detriment to society.

Let me pull away from books to turn to toys. Black children desperately need black dolls. Y'know who else needs black dolls? White children. A mirror for one, a sliding door for another.

This is a human rights abuse worthy of prosecution under intentional law. Minimally, they should be impeached and removed for this alone.

Juliet was trapped in trying to seem obedient to her father, and she died. In almost every other Shakespeare play, she daughters who defy their fathers have a good ending.

I write about democracy. I have been following the president's public comments about elections closely. At a recent rally, he told his followers to "cheat like hell." We've been looking for some grand plot at the top to interfere with the midterms. Suppose it's simpler than that. Pardons. Again.

It's more like, if someone says "The gun went off, and a person was shot," necessary facts are being left out of the narrative. You can and should regulate dangerous tools, and if someone provides dangerous tools, knowing of the danger, you should make them jointly responsible.

A thought exercise for transphobic Democrats: replace the "transgender" with "Jewish" in the ads and notice how uncomfortable you suddenly get. There is slightly more trans people in the U.S. (0.95%) than German Jews (0.75%) before the Holocaust. Can't you see how dangerous your slippery slope is?

This thread, I think, makes a good distinction. The conduct of the Trump administration is no longer surprising or shocking, but it still does, and should, shock the conscience: a phrase that refers not to the unexpectedness, but the brazen cruelty of the actions.

25 years ago, I was a visitor to Atlanta. The day before, I flew out of Logan Airport in Boston to a trade show at the Georgia World Congress Center. Same terminal as the hijackers. The presenter took the stage, shaken, and said that a plane hit the World Trade Center and the Pentagon was on fire.
