Creating "a more perfect union" shouldn't be this dysfunctional. Two possible reasons:
1) Corporations are *The People* ?!
2) "People are people, so why should it be you and I should get along so awfully?"

When Fox News doesn't know how to spin a story the network ignores it. @stephaniemiller.bsky.social found a way to bring up the Epstein emails on Hannity. Greg Gutfeld downplayed it on "The Five." It wasn't mentioned on Fox & Friends or The Ingraham Angle.

In Terry Jones' (Monty Python) Middle Ages series: “Chaucer referred to the 100 Years War stuttering on, like all wars it was a very costly business. The attitude of barons was that the spoils of war were private, but the funding should be public.”

I find worker's unions to be counterproductive. I also know that toxic management/ownership led to the need for unions. Although I have never had to join a union I support the right of workers not to be exploited, to work in a safe environment, and to earn a fair wage and access to benefits. 🧵

I just started to watch "The Mortal Storm" (1940; starring James Stewart) about a family ripped apart in Nazi Germany. Very few people are still alive who remember firsthand the rising storm that led to Blitzkrieg and sunk Europe into years of destruction. 🧵

Trump in a press avail, said yesterday that under Biden, planes were “circling all over.” This makes absolutely no sense from an aviation perspective. Literal nonsense speak

Trump's been purging and intimidating USAID employees.
Now there’s a rumor he'll dissolve USAID as an independent agency.
It was created by JFK and established in law to further our national security and spread hope.
This'd be illegal and against our national interests.

Rape threats. Let's be clear. They texted rape threats.
🚨 House Speaker Mike Johnson’s aide warned GOP lawmakers not to subpoena Cassidy Hutchinson over Jan. 6—because it could expose sexually explicit texts they sent her.
Johnson aide advised against Hutchinson subpoena over concerns about lawmakers’ ‘sexual texts’
The move was intended in part to prevent the release of sexually explicit texts that lawmakers sent Cassidy Hutchinson.

Bryan MacCormack, the executive director of a New York-based immigrant rights group, was pulled over by CBP with two undocumented passengers in the vehicle. He knew his rights, refused to acknowledge their "warrant", and despite CBP threatening him, the agents eventually were forced to let him go.

I'm rewatching "Hitsville, The Making of Motown" ... The DNC needs to replicate what Berry Gordy did, which is to replicate the FoMoCo assembly line. Law School isn't enough, public speaking isn't enough, ego or vision isn't enough. 🧵
