20s, liberal, American. This is where I yell into the void about my nerdy obsessions. (Mostly FoPo, science / sci-fi, history, and writing, but expect to see all sorts of stuff here.)

Since you asked for more...

I'm maintaining a 🧵 of senior civil servants at each agency who've publicly + very prominently said "absolutely not" to flagrantly illegal orders, despite whatever they were (illegally) threatened with

Today's most recent entry is here:

if you’re convinced of the need for social stability, respect for it’s traditions and civic norms, and the need for a responsible civic elite inculcated with a sense of civic duty and honor, I don’t see how you aren’t *at least* a liberal rn honestly

This. Putin killing LiveJournal was a major turning point in internet history, directly responsible for so much of the BS and horror we’re living through today…

Worth mentioning Tim Pool was busted for taking over $100,000 from the Kremlin to spread pro-🇷🇺 propaganda. Wouldn’t be surprised if 🇷🇺 is fanning the flames of this madness.

(Ofc this doesn’t absolve the GOP & their enablers- they’re the maniacs leading the charge, 🇷🇺 is just egging them on.)
