So @MeghanMcCain's husband, @bdomenech, publisher of @FDRLST is selling these T-shirts off the website.
Interestingly, it was Bernie Sanders' camp that came up with this meme last year to sink Kamala Harris' impending candidacy.
And for those who disbelieve this is real, here's the website.
It's right there.

Well this escalated quickly:

Really good piece by @paulwaldman1 on @ejeancarroll's "credible accusation" of rape.
Waldman queries--rightly--how we have become so inured to Trump's history of sexual misconduct and assault. He says flat out that the president is likely a rapist and cites why.
Heavy stuff.
1/
Waldman explains how what Carroll describes rings true compared to other accounts from other women.
And notes that she told two friends at the time.
One said, go to police, the other said, stay silent, he'll bury you.
We all know the second friend was right.
2/
The question is, why aren't we doing something for Carroll and Trump's other victims? Why have we chosen--even those who are not Trump supporters--to ignore these allegations? Why wasn't Carroll's story front page? Why did the @my post pull it?

Incredibly powerful interview with #EJeanCarroll and panel responding to her.
@amandacarpenter was especially compelling.
Women who have been sexually assaulted will get this.
Carpenter says Carroll is "not just random." She's a famous columnist we've all read.
@AC360
.@TheLauraCoates speaks to women's responses to rape as a federal prosecutor and says Carroll is credible.
Carpenter says "this is an uncomfortable conversation."
She says, "Should men who are accused of sexual violence against women be in positions of power."
Indeed.
@AC360
Maggie Haberman says that nothing will change people's minds on Trump.
Alas, she's right.
Coates says women are feeling that they cannot win against a man in power and that "speaks volumes about where we are in 2019."

What a stunningly homophobic & utterly out of touch piece. The author wants gay people to stop thinking we deserve equal rights & just be nicer to her fellow bigots. Happy #Pride

I imagine @kathrynlopez in 1965 would be telling MLK and John Lewis that they should just find another lunch counter and there's nothing wrong with sitting in the back of the bus.
Stop acting like it's ok to discriminate against an entire group of people because of your bigotry.
In my latest piece for @damemagazine I wrote about #LGBTQ history since #Stonewall but also about how LGBTQ people are still under threat. Embedded in the piece are a dozen news stories I've reported on discrimination and violence against LGBTQ people. damemagazine.com/2019/06/24/50-…

Beware of the coming repeat of the 2016 theft of the California primary from #Bernie. The CA primary will have an outsize impact on the nomination.
Is the fix in? Secretary of State Alex Padilla — the Katherine Harris of California — in charge of the vote, is backing Kamala Harris (as she endorsed him last year). politico.com/story/2019/02/…
Padilla has stonewalled my request for a breakdown of the approximately 700K ballots disqualified from the count in the 2016 #CAPrimary — overwhelmingly those of independent "No Party Preference" voters. gregpalast.com/bernie-won-cal…

I'm making a Twitter Thread

Published AUG 2016 after #Bernie flipped and slammed Hillary … @ericgarland THREAD what we (#ProDemocracy) had been watching. America doesn’t just have a problem with #Fascist#Trumpies on Right THEY have problem at other side of political Horseshoe too tinyurl.com/y9yznpqt
2019 Update.. SO America believed about the #Trump #Fascist #RightWingers .. enough to elect a DEM house (finally after 8 yrs) and they have gone to work for #WeThePeople as @RepCummings showed the country yesterday. At their THIRD Hearing. First was Report CHILD MURDER by TRUMP
NOW it’s up to us to expose the #AltLEFT or as we #ProDemocracy centrists call it. Just the other face of the PUTIN puppet show. Remember how #Bernie has ‘always’ been nonaligned? Then said he was DEM in 2018. Don’t believe it. He is PUTINS #FallbackGuy ASK @20committee for def

Hey just a quick public service announcement.

Making the 2020 comversation about the online behavior of a candidates supporters mostly serves to move the conversation about bigger issues like policy and fitness for office.

#BERNIE THREAD /1
At the risk of sounding condescending I feel like there are 4 things we should ask in this primary.

1. What are your policies ?

2. Are you proposing them in good faith?

3. Will you be effective in implimenting them?

4. are you fit for office?

This needs unpacking...

.../2
So the hardest questions are 2-4.

Whether a politician is seen as operating in good faith is often tied to whether we think a politician is "authentic."

This shit is huuuuuuugely sexist and priveledges men over women.

allow me to explain:

first thing to realize is that compromise usually involved splitting the difference (e.g. arbitration -- if you've ever been privy, you know exactly what i mean).

next you need to understate that starting positions matter
now we come to the republicans..

they know to start out WAY to the right of anything sane

democrats, being slightly more reasonable tend to open with somthing they thing will win the other side over to their POV.

... it ... will ... not ....

so this happens.
after a few years of this (say since 1980) you end up with both parties being FAR to the right of anything that a rational person would consider CENTER

enter #bernie sanders and his populist, moderate policy positions like #medicareforall or raising the minimum wage

1/ Ok.. so I am gonna talk about the deleterious effect that @twitter promulgates by #shadowbanning certain voices
2/ Fair warning I am going to @ a number of accounts.. if you are one of these and wish no notifications going forward: just mute the conversation. support.twitter.com/articles/20175…
3/ In June /July 2016 I predicted, via twitter that @realdonaldtrump would win by roughly the margin of ECV (electoral college votes) that he actually won by (I was a state or so out)
