One problem the Dems are not taking into consideration by doing a behind closed doors impeachment is the failure of allowing the GOP to set a counter Narrative. Yes, that to them is a feature not a bug of the plan. Their belief is that if the GOP can't craft a narrative...
...the Dems will have the only Narrative. This is wrong. If a few people in the GOP can't craft a counter Narrative that means millions of people will crowd source a counter Narrative. This Narrative will be better than anything a few people can craft. Just like a free market
...beats a command and control economy. Freedom, in other words, will defeat their authoritarian effort.

"Just days after the Khmer Rouge took power, they ordered 2 million people living in Phnom Penh and other urban areas to head to the countryside. This was to be "Year Zero" in Cambodia's new rural, classless society, and the country would now be known as the Democratic Kampuchea.

Citizens were to be turned into traditional rural peasants, referred to as the "old people" by the Khmer Rouge. Urban workers and intelligentsia elites were viewed as "new people" and easily expendable."

"There is little doubt that those who faced a show trial were going to be found guilty and they served the main purpose of Stalin – to get rid of anyone who might be a potential rival to him as leader."

"The NKVD was handed a list of those who were now labelled ‘enemies of the state’ – effectively the Bolshevik Party’s Old Guard – for example, Kamenev, Zinoviev and Bukharin. Anyone associated with these men was also under suspicion."
"They were put on trial at heavily manipulated show trials where the verdict was never in doubt. The show trials had to prove their guilt preferably with a very public admission of betraying the revolution and therefore the people."

Reign of Terror

"Still uncertain of its position, the committee obtained the Law of 22 Prairial, year II (June 10, 1794), which suspended a suspect’s right to public trial and to legal assistance and left the jury a choice only of acquittal or death. The “Great Terror”....
...that followed,in which about 1,400 persons were executed, contributed to the fall of Robespierre on July 27 (9 Thermidor). During the Reign of Terror, at least 300,000 suspects were arrested; 17,000 were officially executed, and perhaps 10,000 died in prison or without trial."

🆘 Mayday Mayday #45isGoingDown

before we celebrate too much....

I would not be surprised if Trump is impeached or 25th. Why? It’s the exact out the GOP needs.

One he is completely unelectable.
Q-tip could get close enough to make it stolen election look legit. Scary (er)

It’s a chance for the entire party to distance themselves from him. The old boy network is suffering in the polls. WE MUST NOT ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN!!!

Mental instability is also a chance for donCon to avoid prison.

Let me remind you, we have many “Acting“ cabinet secretaries.
Relevance? First thing that is needed to invoke the 25th is the vice president and seven department heads must issue a statement to both houses of Congress that the president is unfit. Talk about a carrot and stick....Is anyone realizing where Pence might’ve been this last month

The conversation in the astronomers facebook group about the TMT is going . . . even worse than *I* might expect and my expectations are pretty low
What I find most fascinating is the repeated claim that there hasn't been any criminalization of protectors, like the arrests and trials in 2015 never happened but I guess when you do science, facts from previous years are unimportant

wait a minute that's fascism not science
A lot of people are also confused about representation, but that makes sense because academia has the stupidest conversations about representation.

Representation without power is not power, but these folks seem to think getting a byline in the press is power.

This won’t be the first time Trump and Putin have met 1 on 1 in private either, they did the same exact thing last summer. How many more treasonous rendezvouses do they need to have before folk understand that they go together?

Wait. Some right-wing groups are getting close to rewriting the Constitution? On #ConstitutionDay, let's look at what's going on. Thread/
Article V of the U.S. Constitution allows for the document to be amended. Text: archives.gov/federal-regist…
For example, as recently as 1971, we added the 26th Amendment, dropping the voting age from 21 down to 18.
