"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
Nothing that's ever happened in my life is creepier than simply existing in the presence of someone who has performed the mental contortions necessary to still believe Republicanism is benign or even good, to still believe themselves good for supporting it.
I think as a country we need to come to grips with this truth, and soon.
I think we should care about all human beings without exception. Ism.

👻OooooOOOOOoooooOOOooo 👻
Fun fact: I actually do not support killing my babies! 😃👍
George Orwell, "1984"
Fun fact: Nope.

But if you believe the procedure to which these candidates support safe and legal access is 'killing babies,' you (I surmise) support candidates who push policies incentivizing such procedures, making them far more likely!

Perhaps AOC's great contribution is to show just how possible it is to change the conversation, and thereby shine a light on how Democrats inability to do so for so many years in many case represents an unwillingness to do so.
AOC doesn't have some sort of super-powers. She's just got principals.

Nothing against her—she's very talented—but I think what she's doing is easily replicable just by standing for something real and working for it, and refusing to back down from it or accept bad framing.
Doing these simple things are politically powerful tools that should be used all the time.

Refusing to back down is as valid and effective a tool as compromise.

Idealism is just as valid and import as pragmatism.

They should be employed every time they're appropriate.

Donald Trump is an open white supremacist. If anyone treats calling him racist as even mildly controversial I cannot take them seriously.
I mean, for example: everything.
When Anderson Cooper plays the skepticism game in reaction to AOC’s straightforward acknowledgement of a clearly observable truth, he isn’t taking an unbiased position.

In fact he’s taking the position that Trump’s whole charade depends on.

If the richest among us find marginal taxes of 70% radical, wait until they hear what the alternatives are.
It’s an indication of how successful the radical oligarchist movement has been at reframing the public discourse, that something as common-sense as a 70% marginal rate for the highest brackets is considered a radical outlier.
Radical oligarchists have so taken over public discourse that people whose entire ethos and mission is consolidating over half the world's wealth in the hands of a few thousand call themselves "conservative" and nobody says anything.

This hand in glove, clandestine BULLSHIT is Orwellian. It's time to bring it to an end.
The international military industrial complex continues to feed upon the world's treasure, fruits of our labors, by using fear & hate to keep us at odds with enemies created for that purpose.
We're in bed with MBS & Saudi Arabia, UAE & Israel in the middle east opposing Iran, Yemen & Syria all of whom are supported by Putin.
These evil men are profiting from the death & destruction of brown people halfway around the world.
Putin & Trump playing risk with the world map
Remember, if you don't use ordinance then you don't have to make more because governments won't need to buy more.
Trump actually brags about all the weaponry we sell to Saudi Arabia.
They keep us frightened of the terrorists they themselves have created for us to fear

If you have to resort to "truth isn't truth," particularly as a lawyer you're in a very dark place. You're in a place where you know your client is in a lot of trouble.

Lot of people this morning are naturally pointing to the changing and contradictory explanations for the purpose of the meeting, and how this tweet contradicts the statement Trump himself drafted (and lied about drafting) to try to cover for Don-Don initially.
I'm going to point out that neither Team Trump nor Trump's followers are that bothered by the contradictions, and Trump is not bothered at all. Trump Says A Lot Of Things. They only care, in the moment, that he's "winning".
There have been a few good threads lately about the problems of trying to argue in good faith with someone who is arguing in bad faith. This one in particular is in my head right now.

Trump can be heard on the tape saying, "cash, cash." Cohen's lawyer says, "the only people who use cash are drug dealers and mobsters."
Trump, who urged his followers today to not trust their senses and just listen to him, has put out an alternative transcript of the tape.
Lanny Davis, Michael Cohen's attorney: "Listen to the tape, everyone. This is not a man shocked when Mr. Cohen said, 'we have to make payments.'" (Trump has denied any knowledge of hush payments to McDougal.)

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes & ears.
It was their final, most essential command.
His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him.
The ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate."

"The subtle arguments which he'd not be able to understand, much less answer.
And yet he was in the right!
They were wrong & he was right.
The obvious, the silly & the true had got to be defended.
Truisms are true, hold on to that!"

"The solid world exists, its laws do not change.
Stones are hard, water is wet, objects unsupported fall towards the earth’s centre.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four.
If that is granted, all else follows."
