The Democratic field is effectively #Biden, #Warren, #Sanders, #Harris, and #Buttigieg

#DemDebate2
To clarify, I'm going by poll averages over the past few months. I don't think the debates have materially changed the dynamics of the race or altered the top tier.
That said, I think Biden's recent downward drift and Warren's rise will continue.

Being anti-fascist is good.

Assaulting people in anything other than self-defense is bad.

It's not complicated.
I lived through a brutal war. While I support all forms of lawful and peaceful mass action, I will never condone proactive violence as a solution to our problems.
So here's a question to those advocating proactive violence against fascists, under the rubric that it is a form of self-defense.

Where do you draw the line?

#DemDebate wrap-up:

Maintained top tier status: #ElizabethWarren

Boosted his candidacy: #JulianCastro

Shaky: #BetoORourke
Though credit to #Beto for bringing up Russia's 2016 cyberattack.
And yes to those saying that #CoryBooker did well too.

But I think @ewarren did everything she needed to do and more to cement her position as one of the frontrunners.

THREAD: SAVING AMERICA

The GOP is too far gone to salvage. A party serving oligarchs, seeking theocracy, coddling white supremacists & xenophobes, oppressing women, abetting gun proliferation, trampling the rule of law, kidnapping migrant children and torturing their families...
SAVING AMERICA

But we could defeat the extremist GOP if we had a mainstream media that stopped normalizing authoritarianism.

And if we had a truly progressive Democratic Party that didn't cave and cower to every GOP power grab. A Democratic Party that didn't poll and pander...
SAVING AMERICA

And we are seeing signs of a progressive rebirth that will overhaul the stagnant Democratic establishment, in @CabanForQueens, @AOC, @IlhanMN, @RashidaTlaib, @RepKatiePorter, @AyannaPressley, and others.

An unapologetic progressive Dem Party CAN defeat the GOP.

Over the past few months, @SangerNYT and I learned Cyber Command has stepped up attacks on the Russian grid. Some say that after years of Russian attacks on the US grid, it’s long overdue. Others said this marks a dangerous escalation: nytimes.com/2019/06/15/us/…
Pentagon and intelligence officials described broad hesitation to brief Trump about the operations because they said his response was too “uncertain”— and the possibility he might countermand it or discuss it with Russian officials as he did in 2017 with a U.S operation in Syria.
P.S.: Working with @SangerNYT has been one of the highlights of my career. He gets answers like nobody else. This story started when he started asking questions about Cyber Command’s new “authorities.” When officials clammed up, we knew there was a ‘there’ there.

So per @NBCNews, these are the latest fundraising rankings.
These are significant because #Warren is after #Sanders and #Harris in the polls where they rank 1st and 2nd (not counting Biden since he's not in) but her fundraising is below #Booker.
As these money rankings stay, Warren is in trouble for the debates like Castro and Gillibrand are because of the rules on how fundraising numbers = viability. Not making the debates would be terrible since #Warren & #Gillibrand are the most progressive & #Castro the only Latinx.
Also, these daily totals are averaged, but they aren't representative as a metric because all these candidates entered at different times & Sanders never stopped fundraising from 2016.
The question is, how much is no big donors hurting #Harris & #Warren?

Over the past few months, I've come to a crossroads about free speech. I don't know how to reconcile the argument that the "war of ideas" is the best possible system with the mounting evidence that the ideas winning the war are in Alex Jones's head.
I don't know how to reconcile the argument that we must maintain a robust and open discourse on social media with the fact that YouTube's algorithm is grooming us to be sociopaths and Twitter's interface is giving us goldfish memories and piranha tendencies.
I don't know how to reconcile my place in the free speech discourse when everyone is adamantly convinced that their favorite catch-phrase about speech is a singularity of infinite truth. The argument over the depth and breadth of speech has become so shallow and narrow.

Over the past few months I have collected 500+ Trump, Pence and RNC tracking URLs dating back to June 2016. I've shared bits & pieces of this (⏬) as I've been looking under the hood, in search of the truth behind Project Alamo/Trump marketing ops.

THREAD will be ongoing...
The 500+ links are tracking links. They contain custom variables team Trump/Pence/RNC attached to links so they could measure & analyze performance via Google Analytics.

These are UTM parameters: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTM_param…

I'll share full URL list once I'm done cleaning it up!
You can learn a lot about a marketing program by examining their tracking links. So here's the 1st nugget:

#1: Trump campaign used Facebook Messenger bots to communicate w/voters 1-on-1.

I haven't seen this reported anywhere. If you have, pls send a link!

Over the past few months, several scam accounts have popped up that call themselves #resistance. Some ask for #donations to help impeach Trump. Some sell shirts, phone cases, etc. And there are others that ask for money for various causes. THREAD 1 #scam #donate #con #PSA
I’ve written about some before, I have a collection of threads about them here. 2
