Democrats & media could not possibly self-own more than by denouncing/tsking protesters and Maxine Waters, one of the pols who is best hearing, channeling & responding to the rage on the ground right now.
I never want to hear another fucking word from press or party about how HRC lost bc she couldn't reach the angry electorate. There's engaged fury on the left & same people decide genius approach is to denounce & chide? Or is rage only politically serious if its white & male?
In conclusion, please enjoy my forthcoming book Good and Mad, which treats the rage of the non-white and the non-male VERY FUCKING SERIOUSLY. And also has a lot about Maxine Waters: amazon.com/Good-Mad-Women…

Whose challenges are framed as aggressive and whose are practically indiscernible as disruptions? Relevant to my interests:
This is power dynamic I write about in Good & Mad. @Ocasio2018’s civic participation gets framed as problematic, eruptive. But 5 white guys come for Pelosi from right & it’s just a tactical move. Women’s raised voices are problematic, men’s are comprehensibly professional.
More than comprehensibly professional: some people are granted political validity at the outset. Others are understood as chaotic, divisive, suspect and disruptive to legitimate politics.

I know that this race is too close to call but I just have to say that McBath’s path here, the fact that she is this close to victory on GA-6, is astounding. This is the district Jon Ossoff could not win. Dems! Get behind women of color!
Lauren Underwood, Sharice Davids, Ayanna Presley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Deb Haaland, Veronica Escobar, Sylvia Garcia, maybe Gina Ortiz-Jones...this is the future, looking to the women who have long been the democratic base, for leadership.
Reminded that I left out Jahana Hayes. (And probably others! I’m still catching up on lots of races)

Also every white guy currently explaining the (extremely real) villainy of white women to me can take a seat until they’ve come to collect Joe Manchin, almost all of the Republican Party, and the vastest share of Trump’s base.
To be clear, that is not letting Collins, 53% of white women & MANY generations of their forebears off the hook! My new book is in part about ww’s eagerness to support a white capitalist patriarchy & in doing so leave their sisters to suffer. Which is what Susan Collins just did.
No wait, clearer: Not just leaving sisters to suffer. Actively participating in the further oppression and subjugation of people of color, women and men. But be clear—white women aren’t coming up with this horror all by their lonesome.

"Excuse me everyone for tagging you.  I am reaching out to many as possible in re: to "wildfires in California.
The recent "wildfires" in Paradise, California 1000's of people died and 30,000 + homes destroyed. What most people don't know the "wildfires" are man-made. I will provide clips, links of evidence, what we're up against and a solution. The mainstream media has been downplaying...
...on the "wildfires" to keep us all ignorant for not knowing the truth.  This is a 4  part thread."

1. Woke up 3hrs too early, queasy and stressed. 2mins from now, we will likely be witness to a national misogynistic sham so deep and so blatant as to prove once and for all that the powerbrokers of US government do not believe women are human. #Kavanaugh #BelieveSurvivors #RAGE
2. I'll prob livetweet #Kavanaugh hearing, but I feel physically ill over how they've stacked the deck against #ChristinaBlaseyFord, ignored #JulieSwetnick's gang rape allegations, demonized #DeborahRamirez. How many more rapes will happen bec Trump &GOP brand claim women liars.
3. 0 reason other than corruption, misogyny, and partisanship for having no witnesses, no FBI investigation. Yet hypocrite Grassley, opens saying he wants a "Safe, comfortable, and dignified" hearing and a "show of civility"--then immediately misrepresents the issues. #Kavanaugh

Many of my followers know that I have been sharing previously unknown information about #Democrats & the #NXIVM cult, in particular, frmr. DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano's #ArizonaMafia strong-arm of the U.S. #Democratic party. In the #ArizonaMafia, members have different roles.
In the #ArizonaMafia, named mbr. #2 is frmr. #FastNFurious U.S. Atty, Dennis Burke. Burke is a liar. In 2011, Burke famously resigned from his post in disgrace after being called a liar by DOJ Deputy Atty General James Cole. Dennis Burke is the hatchet man of the #ArizonaMafia.
As hatchet man of the #ArizonaMafia, Burke has been tasked with stressful responsibilities. He may have even been tasked with destroying my character. On 12/14/2017, the AZ Republic ran a #HitPiece article about me, orchestrated by Burke & full of #LIES: azcentral.com/story/news/loc…

in the #NXIVM cult, Keith Raniere, aka "Vanguard," was known as "smartest man in the world." Some believe this claim is evidenced by complex charts & diagrams. At the other end of the intellectual spectrum, readers will find #ArizonaMafia member #10, Luis "Gordito" Borbon.
As readers learn how Janet's #ArizonaMafia works, they will learn that mob mbr. #10, "Gordito" Borbon, was formerly the errand boy for the Gov. of #Sonora #Mexico, Eduardo Bours. Borbon's skill sets are: Driving, carrying bags, being Marco's paid friend, & eating. Lots of eating.
