PLEASE, can we avoid the "Dems are playing 7-dimensional chess" fallacy? That mindset has lost us SCOTUS for a generation and has handed the country to the far right.

IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE SENATE WON'T CONVICT.

#Impeachment sends the signal that we honor the rule of law.
Here's @MalcolmNance expressing his concern:

BREAKING: Nancy Pelosi calls for a strong Republican Party.

Pelosi says America "needs a strong Republican Party. They've made great contributions to our country."

Here are previous quotes from Democratic leaders supporting the GOP instead of a leftist party.

THREAD - Money Over Lives: America's Deadly Pandemic Policy

#COVID19 is killing Americans at much higher rates than citizens of other wealthy nations. Blame the capitalist criminals of the ruling parties.

directleft.com/p/money-over-l…
Democratic propaganda calls this a “pandemic of the unvaccinated” to conceal the Biden administration’s horribly inadequate vaccine-only strategy and its reckless claim that the pandemic would end by July 4th, 2021.
Republican propaganda frames this as an issue of personal liberty, discouraging vaccines, masks, and other mitigation measures — thus killing more people. Beyond the spin, the truth is more sinister...

Nazis on the streets in Florida.

REMINDER:

#ANTIFA = ANTI-FASCIST

And let me add: It's tempting to scoff at a handful of haters outside a mall, but rightwing extremism exists across American society, it's not just some fringe belief. We MUST remain vigilant against these violent and hateful people.

Was doing a show with my band in Paris (part backing track, part live). Lost power on all the gear except the piano so had to play solo until it was fixed.

Played one of the first ever raves in LA, at the Shrine. Late 80s or early 90s.

Worked with Frankie Knuckles during the inception of house music. That's the story.

Why Democrats Lose (THREAD)

As a former Dem insider, hear me out:

After 20 years of waking up to yet another miserable Dem defeat, I realized this is the DESIRED outcome. By watering down real progress, Biden, Pelosi, etc. actively preserve the system and keep the GOP strong.
Why Democrats Lose (cont.)

For too long, I subscribed to the common myth that Democrats lose because they "bring a knife to a gunfight," i.e. that they are well-meaning but ineffectual in the face of the fascist GOP.

But the facts say otherwise...
Why Democrats Lose (cont.)

Just look at the ludicrous Build Bigger Billionaires "negotiations." Despite Dem control of two branches, the bill keeps shrinking and shrinking. From $10T to $1.75T.

"It's Manchin!" they yell. "It's Sinema!" "It's the Parliamentarian!"

Please.
