A twitter emigrant looking to follow interesting people. Following does not imply endorsing. I will try to keep my opinions in check. (Profile update: I have failed in that last goal). My long-form articles can be found on Medium at medium.com/@sjgenco.
There are a lot of Republicans out there claiming that Virginia Giuffre never says in her posthumous book that Trump molested her, which is correct, but they conveniently ignore this passage in the book, which needs wider exposure. Here it is. Who could she possibly be referring to?

Even 10 Dem Senators is still a big minority of Senate Dems (45+2). So if a majority of Senate Dems are actually opposed to this CAPITULATION, they should tell Chuck they will call a caucus vote and replace him if he proceeds. It's time to end appeasement & put the fighters in charge.

Let me get this straight. 40 Dem Senators oppose a CAVE, 8 are ok. So how about this: the MAJORITY of Dem Senators tell Schumer they will be demanding a leadership vote to ensure the will of the majority prevails. Fire Chuck, elect Chris Murphy Leader, and shut this capitulation shit down.

Let's be clear. This is #Trump we're talking about. He's destroying the #EastWing because that's where Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama worked as First Ladies. Simple as that. Malignant narcissism provides ... transparency.

As if America's short-term and domestic prospects aren't bad enough, our long-term and global prospects are even worse. All because #Trump hates #climate science. I just dropped this long piece on Medium.

I'm workshopping some new mottos for Dems.
1. We don't negotiate with Nazis.
2. We don't negotiate with fascists.
3. We don't negotiate with criminals.
4. We don't negotiate with psychopaths.
5. We don't negotiate with traitors.

All better than "We seek bipartisan solutions w lunatics who hate us."

Schumer & Jeffries searched and searched for a new way to humiliate themselves in front of Trump. Against all odds, they found one.

This "question" is essentially the Far Right asking for permission to go out & slaughter Democrats. If they can just convince themselves the shooter was a "leftist" (they're trying hard), they seem to believe that's all the pretext they need. GOP's goon squads about to slip their leash?

#SCOTUS fails to explain its decisions (using the shadow docket) b/c there is no rationale under the law & the Constitution for much of what they're doing. They are not upholding the law, they are softening the US for #fascism. No "quiet part out loud" for these snakes. substack.com/inbox/post/1...
