Hello, @dlbvet

Have you seen my list?

Marches and postcards are just the beginning. If everyone channels their frustration and rage into action, we'll get through this.

Stand by. Will attach my list.
1/ Here's the list. The most important thing we can do now, it seems to me, is get involved in our local elections. Politics is local, and elections are monitored locally.

Also, Susan B. Anthony taught us how . . . (thread coming)
2/ Will it be easy? No.
Is it possible? Yes.


I'm also planning threads called "FDR taught us how," and "Thurgood Marshall taught us how."

(Thread) Mueller’s Testimony: What [not] to expect

@hwiers asks⤵️

Mueller already said he will stay within the four corners of the report, and I’m sure he knows the DOJ directive doesn’t bind him, so I don’t expect the DOJ directive to make much difference.
1/ Good Democratic questions will showcase Trump’s crimes and behavior that makes him unfit for office.

These, from @neal_katyal are nice and crisp:

nytimes.com/2019/07/22/opi…
2/ I also like Comey’s wording, “Did you find substantial evidence of obstruction?”

There WAS substantial evidence, so Mueller can say “yes” without saying “Yes, Trump committed a crime." (The standard for conviction is “beyond a reasonable doubt.”)

(Short Thread) Responding to a Firehose of Falsehoods

If Trump is creating a situation that will enable him to lie and undermine election results if he loses,👇yes, we combat it by calling it now.

A Rand Institute study on combating Russian style propaganda techniques explains.
1/ A Russian propaganda techniques is called the Firehose of Falsehood.
rand.org/pubs/perspecti…

The Firehose of Falsehood is effective because if public is drenched with enough lies, eventually people get worn out and give up trying sort out truth from fiction.
2/ Once this happens, what sociologists call the "public sphere" is destroyed: People have no common reality, and democracy will not work.
oxfordbibliographies.com/view/document/…

There is nothing we can do to prevent Trump from lying. He’s going to lie as surely as he is going to breathe.

(Thread) Trump’s Strategy is not Stupid

Spoiler: It’s cynical. But not stupid.

OK, it looks stupid: Trump is doubling down on the very issues that resulted in Democrats winning the House in 2018 & every Midwest race.⤵️
1/ Trump’s strategy until now has been to keep his base excited and his critics outraged.
(See👇 )

I'll argue here that if he tries to move to the center—if he tries to moderate his views and tamp down the hateful rhetoric—he’ll lose more than he’ll gain.
2/ Trump’s disapproval has been over 50% for the past two years. See: projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval…

People who've spent two years shocked and outraged won't suddenly become Trump supporters if he suddenly stops insulting people and stops fascist-style chants.

HELLO, I HAVE NEVER SEEN GAME OF THRONES AND I WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOU WHAT I THINK IT IS ABOUT BASED ON WHAT I HAVE LEARNED VIA OSMOSIS (a thread).

It takes place in olden dragon times, where everyone had the plague and also dragons.

There's a lot of murder and rape.
I think Aquaman was briefly in it, but then someone murdered him, because everyone on the show gets murdered. Or raped. This was quite early on.

He was married to some skinny blonde lady who has a lot of dragons? She's now out for revenge. Something something Westeros.
Also there was some child king named Joffrey and apparently he married his sister, who was in The Hunger Games and whose haircut almost caused me to shave half my head.

I think he murdered her on maybe their wedding night? Then someone poisoned his wine and he also died.

Hello Twitter. I have read A Long Way to a Small angry Planet and we need to talk. You ready? Because this is going to be like me, rambling and squeeing and flailing. This book is by Becky Chambers and it is science fiction. It is sprawling and lush and magical.
I haven't read a lot of science fiction. I can probably count less than ten books. My poorly researched think piece on the entire genre based on a single book I read will come shortly. No, but really! I brushed this book off b/c it was SF.
Anyway, I don't know that I'm really qualified to talk about what I want in science fiction because I haven't read enough of the genre to really know. but this? I want more of this. So much more! Basically, a woman is trying to escape her past so she joins a ship crew.

Sex offenders have been using comments in this way for years and a cynic might suspect that @google are only taking action now because they are losing money. time.com/5541521/youtub…
A few years ago a late teen posted a video of herself online as late teens often do. It was a very well made video of a teen doing things that teens do. Innocuous and attractive only to other teens except...
the comments lit up. Snide comments alluding to personal knowledge of the girl, people writing as if she were their idol, a celebrity or a public figure. Familiar language, friendly banter and links to other public videos of the girl from 10 or 12 years previously.

Hello from Day 25 of El Chapo's trial.

Edgar Iván Galván, a low-level Sinaloa cartel operator in El Paso, will be back on the stand this morning. Expecting a witness from the FBI to deliver some potentially juicy testimony later this afternoon.

Stay tuned for updates.
In a sign that Chapo's trial is entering the homestretch, the government has filed proposed instructions for the judge to give to the jury prior to deliberations.

Notably, amid the focus on El Mayo, there's a section about "other persons not on trial." documentcloud.org/documents/5677…
"At best, Mr. Galvan was a guy who knew a guy who knew the guy in charge." @alanfeuer on the government's latest cooperating witness against El Chapo: nytimes.com/2019/01/07/nyr…

Emile, on bande ?

Étrangement, ce matin, j'ai ressenti le besoin de réouvrir le livre d'un collègue sociologue : Force publique. Une sociologie de l'institution policière, par @cdebellaing (aux éditions Economica, 2015).
(Je vous met la couv' dire de mettre un peu de couleurs dans le thread🎊👀)
D'une certaine manière, on peut dire que le livre part d'une interrogation :
"Bon sang, mais quand même... ils doivent bien se rendre compte, les policiers, que des fois ils déconnent à bloc ! »
L'auteur cherche donc à comprendre les violences policières, mais aussi la réflexivité des forces de l'ordre sur leurs violences. Pour cela, il décide de mener l'enquête dans les lieux de formation (où la question est abordée, évidemment), et à l’Inspection Générale des Services.

I was at a party once for my private prep school where I drank too much and ended up on a kitchen floor and had boys making cracks about taking me out to the back of a car and using paper bags as condoms on me. Were it not for a girlfriend, who knows what would have happened
1/3
I walked into school the next day and everyone was talking about it. Parties continued. I kept going, because it was my school and those were my "friends."

I was 15.

For everyone saying, oh, we can't believe Julie Swetnick because she kept going to parties, ask yourself:

2/3
She was a CHILD. She did what everyone did in those days, and coped.

This also needs to be said: holding a teenage girl (the third to come forward, BTW) to higher standards than the boys who she has asserted under penalty of perjury GANG RAPED her is REALLY RICH.
