Time for the best first impression ever, fuck yeah. My name's Nome. I write words. Sometimes people think the words I write are good.
See below for my thread of threads of threads - things I've written that I'd like to be able to find or reference, many of them ported over from my time on Twitter.

I want every US Servicemember who took part in this operation on charges. I want every person in government who facilitated it in The Hague.

My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds.
I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are.
My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.

I call Tommy Tuberville every fucking week, multiple times a week, because he can be evil but I don't have to let him do it without pushback.
So I don't need to hear excuses. I call the dumbest senator in the country. 😂

Amazing to learn which senators apparently think the senate should not exist.
President Trump’s actions today with Venezuela raise more questions than answers. Is America going to be involved in running and stabilizing Venezuela? Today's actions raise many questions about the stability of the region and our policy towards South America.

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

I'll spell it out: Offering that Maduro is bad but the strikes and kidnappings violated legal procedure, is discursively like closing the back door to Trump while opening the front door. You concede the moral case, and offer a legal one that nobody without a lanyard knows of or gives a shit about.
"Maduro was bad, but" shut the fuck up, you people will never learn.

You don't have to listen to these professional liars who are barely trying. 9 months ago they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty
Vance pushes back and says this was not illegal, arguing "Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism. You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas."

I am unsurprisingly disappointed in the utter lack of "and now we're going to do something about it" from my 'voices' in Washington.

anyone online on social media in the middle of the night likely knew about it before they did tbh
News: Gang of Eight in Congress were only notified about Trump's Venezuela operation after it began, source familiar tells me. That means the heads of the Intelligence Committees in Senate and House were *not* consulted. Just crazy.

What the actual fuck even by the standards of the Trump regime claiming to have kidnapped the sitting president of a sovereign nation is the most absolutely batshit thing so far. Hideous crime

Trump is claiming they've captured Maduro. VP is apparently still safe? No idea what to expect if this is all true but certainly this is one of those days where weeks happen

The members who did the "don't follow illegal orders" video absolutely need to immediately do a "hey these were the illegal orders we were talking about and participating in them can expect to face consequences to the fullest extent of the law" video
Uniformed military are involved in this shambolic behavior and they all need to be held to account
A primary goal of the discussion now on dragging dem pols to do the right thing has to be on widespread accountability and where appropriate prosecutions of significant numbers of servicemembers

For those w/ social anxiety, calling this late at night means there's virtually no chance you have to worry about talking to an actual person. Take your time, write out what you want to say, call, read your script, and hang up.
If that's too much, all reps and senators have contact forms. Use them.
