At the @moveon event for the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates in San Francisco (except Biden, who's resting). They're going to be discussing #BigIdeas so it's very exciting!
Sanders uses his @Moveon time to focus on one particular issue he says has received far less attention than it deserves: stopping Endless War, cutting military spending, stopping war in Yemen and avoiding war with Iran. Wants 2001 AUMF repealed:
Beto said "bullshit." He means business. He used to be so polite and elegant, got corrupted by the foul-mouthed @PodSaveAmerica vulgarians.

Since the Media Matters & Vox hall monitors whose job is to take pictures of the TV and post distorted out-of-context clips did that to me tonight, here are my full comments on whether Silicon Valley overlords will benevolently police our discourse to protect the marginalized:
Not sure why but this is the part of the above clip that got cut off where I talk about my own experience with online harassment and how it shapes my views of the menacing effects of Silicon Valley speech policing
In this clip, I discuss why Silicon Valley monopolies are granted special legal protections from Congress and how they came to wield censorship power: not because they wanted it, but because it was foisted on them, largely - amazingly - by journalists:

Here's what @TuckerCarlson last night extensively quoting and praising @ewarren's economic plan, contrasting it with the inability of the GOP to defend US workers because they're in servitude to the Koch Brothers, corporatism & libertarian economic theory
While we're at it: from the same program, an interview with the leftist @Chris_arnade on his new book about how the highly educated elite class has removed itself almost completely from the lives, plight & views of the multi-racial working class in the US
Speaking of @Chris_arnade's book, here's what @ebruenig had to say in recommending it (on the left). Also, here's what another person who actually read the book instead of scanning the blurb list said about why it's so different from J.D. Vance's wsj.com/articles/polit…:

These 2 tweets from @Gizmodo writer @thetomzone are undeniably false & defamatory: that @mtracey was fired from TYT & is paid by Fox. But since the object of his lies is someone disliked by the cool kids of Brooklyn digital media, there's zero need to correct or retract
When a journalist clique so openly and even explicitly stakes an entitlement to lie about people - in the most demonstrable & blatant ways - provided that the person they're lying about is sufficiently disliked, they deserve all the scorn and loss of credibility they get.
If you're a journalist who sanctions or is too afraid to condemn outright lying by your colleagues because the target of the lies is marginalized or disliked by popular cliques, please don't express bafflement or anger that people hold journalists & journalism in contempt.

I’m at the MoveOn #BigIdeas forum in San Francisco outside of #CADem19 — should be an intriguing format. Candidates get 5 minutes to present their “big idea,” and then will have moderated questions. Stay tuned for who shines and who … does otherwise.
First up: Bernie Sanders. Warm welcome from crowd.
Bernie Sanders’ “big idea” is endless war.
“We have got to stop endless wars, we have got to cut military spending,” he says.
On that note, read my profile of Rep. Ro Khanna, who is co-chairing his campaign and who has bonded with him over this issue: sfchronicle.com/politics/artic…

Democratic presidential candidates shouldn't throw Fox News a lifeline. mediamatters.org/blog/2019/04/0…
You can either understand this now, or understand it after you fire a couple of White House staffers because you're taking water from the network's conspiracy theories.
Fox is an irredeemably malevolent right-wing propaganda outlet that has fused with President Trump's White House. Its "news" team is an essential cog in a corrupt machine. Democrats need to wise up about what Fox is if they want to win and govern.

1. #Maddow @MaddowBlog Rachel ON FIRE re #BarrTestimony #BarrCoverUp re #MuellerLetters. And that Trump was well within his rights to fire a prosecutor if he thought the charges against him were unfair. And that #HillaryClinton was the problem, not #PutinPuppet Trump... @DeAdder
2. #Maddow @MaddowBlog #HillaryClinton ON FIRE " #Barr is Trump's Defense Attorney, NOT the job he auditioned for, #AttorneyGeneral. "This goes to the core of whether we are a nation of laws or a nation of men." Gawd I miss @HillaryClinton
3.#Maddow #HillaryClinton tells Rachel "Get back to the business of calling witnesses who are mentioned in the #MuellerReport and begin to tell the public story." @HillaryClinton also discusses the possibility #AGBarr could be held in #ContemptOfCongress

Since @MoveOn is calling for Democratic presidential candidates to skip @AIPAC’s policy conference (#AIPAC2019), I’d like to share a few thoughts on American progressives, foreign affairs, and AIPAC that I hope will help clarify what is happening.

<<<Incoming Thread>>>
1) The US left is not a monolithic group. It’s a coalition of interest groups & various minorities that campaign on bread & butter issues like healthcare, education, & increasing worker’s pay/power. It focuses on winning elections & putting the country on a progressive trajectory
2) Domestic politics is a natural environment to focus on for policy-oriented liberals; Even on the most complex issues, the government wields a great deal of influence in terms of final outcomes.
