Seeing a loooooottttt of stories saying "oh people are really searching for Marianne Williamson, maybe she's on to something" as if we've learned nothing from 2016 motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
Or maybe she can tap into intergenerational horoscope woo that's always plagued the left and we're all doomed.
this ^^ is just me trying to restart a fight I've been having with a lot of my under 30 coworkers
Anyway my favorite part of the Williamson takes is when they're published by the same people or outlets who are the most consistently strident attackers of anything not deemed sufficiently radical/socialist. 🤷‍♀️🔮

Just as Biden deserves having his defense of busing ban vs federal intervention, so does Bernie's similar stances on guns. This is by far the most extensive history of all that to date: m.sevendaysvt.com/vermont/sticki…
m.sevendaysvt.com/vermont/sticki…
Bernie supporters tend to deny that his past record on guns, or excuse it as "well what do you expect from Vermont." But that doesn't fly with a lot of women, urban and suburban, who power the Democratic party.

As with Biden, a fuller inventory/apology might be more prudent.

I deleted Messenger years ago and don't really ever go on Facebook, but did just now for family reasons and here's a sample of what awaits me
imagine being so emasculated by the fact you can't get a reaction out of me here to look me up on another social platform to rail about my Twitter header.
And who uses the word trollop?

Annual birthday party Evite madness. Annual complaint that it doesn't let you group two+ emails to one invitee, thus increasing likelihood that just moms will be on invites.

(I INSIST on including all parents /guardians. A blow to the patriarchy that doubles my time spent)
Also some of the dads or other moms in Milo's peer set are the prompt and responsible ones!
But what about a kid who has two households and four parents/stepparents! @evite and the like should figure out a way to group those emails, and flag replies accordingly. RN it looks like I've invited 146 kids.

If you read "Russian Roulette," @ggreenwald, you'd know that it is not based on the Steele memos. We reported on how they came to be & noted that their specific allegations remained largely unproven. Our finding-Trump "aided and abetted" the Russian attack-was not based on them.
Our book covered how Russia attacked a US election and chronicled the curious and troubling Trump-Russia interactions that occurred before, during, and afterward--and how Trump and his crew falsely denied the attack was underway, echoing and amplifying Moscow disinformation...
...essentially running interference for the Russian operation....So if you think its gotcha to point out that @Isikoff disparaged the Steele memos, then I question whether you really understand the Trump-Russia scandal and how we have written about it.

People keep tweeting this Taibbi piece in my thread, apparently not knowing that I've been a Steele skeptic since day 1 and have written some pretty scathing indictments of it ... well before Taibbi.

But he makes his own errors. For example, he apparently doesn't know that there IS support for Flynn reaching out on Syria before the election.

Here's Taibbi -- in an article complaining about spooks on TV -- not reading Clapper's comment as what it obviously was: a carefully worded statement. Carter Page was no ON the campaign when FISA went up on him.

How Obama tried to interfere in the 2016 Presidential election by trying to manipulate @realDonaldTrump during the campaign. This is some devious shit right here. Hang on, these quotes are from todays #motherJones and @DavidCornDC article from today.
motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
1. During the last 5 months of the 2016 Presidential campaign Trump joked about the Clinton emails that where missing. He also was using that as a devestating talking point to show Clinton cant be trusted. It was killing HRC election chances. So how would HRC/Obama counter that
2. Obama had hackers (crowdstrike) leak the DNC emails. Then Obamas IC gave 45 a private briefing in mid-August 2016 in which Trump was told that Putin’s regime was behind the Russian attack. Obama wanted Trump to echo that Russia was behind it during his campaign speeches.

Thread: 'quiet accomplishments' of Trump admin. Very little major legislation - but it doesn't mean they're not accomplishing their agenda.
Feb. 28 bill blocked SSA from reporting mentally impaired recipients to nat. background-check dB. #GunControlNow washingtonpost.com/investigations…
In March and April, Trump admin. withdrew protections for 42 endangered species. #Endangered #Conservation bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
