We can overcome fascism!

Please watch scholar & expert, Dr. Chenoweth, explain her findings showing sustained nonviolent civil resistance is far more successful than violent campaigns.

We only need 3.5% (11.7 million) of our population to achieve our objectives.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

🧵 WHY WERE HUNTER BIDEN'S CASES UNPRECEDENTED?

(1/5) Hunter Biden was investigated for FIVE years by the DOJ.

After FIVE years of investigations, the Trump-appointed US Attorney, David Weiss, in Delaware agreed with Hunter's lawyers to a non-prosecution agreement.
Hunter Biden’s TWO criminal cases were political prosecutions in order to attack President Joe Biden.

The DOJ pursued unprecedented charges after a high-pressure campaign by Trump and his surrogates.
BREAKING: President Biden is expected to issue a pardon for his son Hunter Biden, according to a senior White House official.

Tell me more about how you’re deeply concerned that men are transitioning just to prey on women in bathrooms but you’re not concerned at all about the men who are preying on women out in the open and becoming elected officials.

Some people ask which of the people that Trump nominated is the most dangerous, but it seems to me that the most dangerous aspect of the situation is that Trump is trying to make the Senate submit to patently absurd nominees to establish the precedent that they don’t meaningfully check his power.
