RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Wow — Speaker Sexton now requiring tickets for ALL access to the gallery at the TN House, claiming it “ensures access for all”🤔

Expelling legislators… filling a roped off rotunda with troopers… keeping us out of pressers… requiring tickets…

Watch Authoritarianism work.

The platforms are tools of power integral to political propaganda machines. Every politician and activist knows this.

And Congress couldn’t get it together to pass legislation ensuring the most basic transparency or data access over the last 3 years so we could at least understand how they’re used.

WATCH: JC Bowman of @proedtn says there are only ~3000 empty private school seats in TN, so @govbilllee knows most of his vouchers will go to kids already in private schools… and with private costing too much anyway, segregation will be the result.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "We have 8,400 firefighters working the lines; 16,000 personnel; 2,500 National Guard trying to address the issue of looting; 750 CHP as we speak; we have the EPA starting to do phase 1 of the debris removal... All of that [rightwing disinformation] is a deep distraction."

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.
