Since Trump is running again, let’s re-sensitize ourselves to the experience of those 4 years with a trip down memory lane.

I owe all you Trumpers an apology. I’ve been critical of him from day one & I’m still exhausted from the experience.

But to be fair, he wasn’t that bad.
Other than when he...
▪️abandoned Iraqi refugees who’d helped the US during the war
▪️abandoned our allies, the Kurds, to Turkey
▪️absconded with thousands of classified documents, lied about it & refused to give them back when feds

NEW: Digital repression "does not, at least in my view, get enough attention" @ODNIgov Dir Avril Haines tells @CarnegieEndow

US keeping eye on "Kremlin-aligned media" & social media, per @ODNIgov's Haines
As @POTUS gives his #StateOfTheUnion address tonight, we'd like to share our own #SOTU.

1/ Protect & expand the freedom to vote ahead of #Election2024.
This is one of our most fundamental rights, and our democracy is strongest when every voter can participate in it. We're very much still fighting anti-voter laws in court & taking on barriers to #VoterRegistration.

1b/ Meanwhile, in the absence of federal voting legislation, we're very encouraged by the passage of State Voting Rights Acts (aka State VRAs). We hope to see more of them introduced this year.

Tell the @ksbw audience how it is that @CityofSalinas Mayor, @kimbleycraig & Salinas councilman @stevemcshane were allowed to direct @SalinasPD resources to a Church function in December, @FelixKSBW?

* the @CityofSalinas is a legislative body, setting broad policy. Newly hired City Manager Steve Kerrigan would need to sign off on any of this crap.
That’s a scandal. It’s also worthy of a credible DA investigation, @JeanninePacioni.
I’m sure Civil Rights supporter

Why is the BJP successful in consolidating the Majority of Hindu Votes? BJP is the only party which seeks votes in the name of #Hinduism. ( and Shivsena that too only in Maharashtra) 1/2
Other national and majority of regional parties seek votes in the name of secularism which is being split among many parties.

What do I really think about @WendyRootAskew’s chances for re-election in #Election2024?
1. Askew has incumbency on her side, think @stevemcshane on @CityofSalinas or Kimbo Craig as Mayor having just BIFFED it in her favored supe bid. (Craig was re-elected)

gave Askew $450,000 +. While that pales compared to McShane when he lost to Askew by 2,000 voted (McShane raised over $1,000,000 - that was reported to the @CA_FPPC) it’s a SHITLOAD of Interest money
3. Askew’s talking points are in line with what the community needs - generally

WHERE does Askew fall short?
1. Authenticity. Wendy has foolishly aligned herself with the scum of the scum in local politics. My belief is she did it for another SLEAZY Democrat named Plasha Fielding Will who takes money from Right Wing (the crazy kind) folks like SVLG.

Happening now: Most destabilizing factor in the world today - "There are so many" @ODNIgov Dir Avril Haines tells @SilveradoPolicy @Google Leadership & Service Forum
NEW: "The mismatch between what we perceive to be #Putin's even near-term military objectives & the fact that his military can't actually achieve them is a destabilizing factor" per @ODNIgov Dir Avril Haines "It has raised the potential for escalation"

Another destabilizing factor - "The way in which disruptive technologies are emerging in many respects, the kind of convergence of so many fields of science" per @ODNIgov’s Haines
