One truly interesting & important aspect of @PeteButtigieg's campaign: he's speaking the truth that elites generally & Dems specifically least want to hear: a big part of Trump's win was hatred for the establishment which elites built & Dems often defend washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/…
Also, this bullying game which failed ex-Hillary advisers are trying to play - threatening any Dem candidate who even tepidly speak ill of their Queen or her failed ideology & tactics - is both thuggish & self-defeating. It's moronic not to learn from Hillary's failures:
It should be so obvious by now - like in neon lights & glaring alarms - that DC political & media elites want you to blame PUTIN for Trump's victory so that the real authors of the misery that led to so many people voting for Trump - THEMSELVES - are cheered rather than vilified.

NPR bizarrely seems to have deleted their own lie-filled interview with me and replaced it with something else, even as it still promotes the page as including its interview of me. Where is it, @MorningEdition?
Thanks to @froomkin, who posted the full, now-elusive NPR audio interview I did this morning about Assange's arrest, here: drive.google.com/file/d/1l8ixtR…
Another copy of the NPR interview here, for those having trouble with the file above:

The Obama DOJ concluded that prosecuting WikiLeaks and Assange for publishing documents would pose a grave threat to press freedom theintercept.com/2018/11/16/as-… - Dems who spent 2 years feigning concerns over press freedom but who now cheer the Trump DOJ for this are beneath contempt:
Arresting Assange and destroying WikiLeaks was a top priority for the most reactionary elements of the Trump administration from the start. Both Jeff Sessions & Mike Pompeo vowed do this to put an end to *reporting*. They were explicit about this: theintercept.com/2017/04/14/tru…
If you're cheering Assange's arrest based on a US extradition request, your allies in your celebration are the most extremist elements of the Trump administration, whose primary and explicit goal is to criminalize reporting on classified docs & punish WL for exposing war crimes.

1/ A major part of Bolsonaro's platform was unleashing the military and police to kill more indiscriminately and then immunize them. This week, the military killed a popular black musician in Rio, shooting his car with *80 bullets* as he drove with his family to a baby shower.
2/ The outrage unleashed by this indiscriminate slaughter by the military of a popular community figure in such a horrifically brutal way is threatening what Bolsonaro & his beloved Justice Minister are calling their "anti-crime" package to immunize police apnews.com/8f86e4628ebf4e…
3/ @TheInterceptBr obtained exclusive video of the military pumping 80 bullets into the car of Evaldo Rosa as his wife screamed: theintercept.com/2019/04/08/exe… - In her last tweet before being assassinated, @MarielleFranco asked: " How many others will have to die for this war to end?"

I have written in recent days that Democrats have lost their way and I believe that to be true. I don't claim to know everything in this world but as I've been on this planet forty-six years now, one lesson I've learned is how often when you finally find out the truth ...
... about something that just didn't make sense, you learn there's more to the story than first expected. I don't think anyone else is going to tell these true stories, so I will.
I am not sure why I am ending up being the one to bring all of this to everyone, but for some reason I am. In my upcoming posts I'm going to start explaining to everyone at least partial stories, considering time, about how Democrats lost their way and ended up where they are.

2). A meme was flown across Twitter over the past few months, coming to my attention again yesterday. I saved it so I could do this little investigation!

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

So #Trump is holding a news conference in about five minutes. I’ll be watching (and probably tweeting). Follow/mute at will!
Okay, #Trump has started speaking. He's already slurring. He's already made a joke about "a lot of......MEDIA.".

This does not bode well.
#Trump is now saying that China wants to "see me lose an election because they've never been challenged before."

It's not just China, pal.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
