No one associated with the Trump admin ever had a history class.The #BerlinWall was built by the Russians after WWII to keep East Germans from being in the "free" West during the Cold War. Crowley is too dull-witted to realize she'd be in the isolated East, not free West.
Crowley is literally on the wrong side of history. The #BerlinWall was a symbol of political represssion for decades. I was living in London when it came down and it was an extraordinary moment--the jubilation. So powerful.
What makes Crowley's comment all the more disconcerting is she has advanced degrees from real colleges--including a PhD from Columbia. Which just highlights how being associated with Trump literally makes you less smart, in addition to ruining your karma.

The irony here is I spent an hour in therapy yesterday literally sobbing about how frustrating it is that I am so poor and have to fight constantly for my health insurance to pay for things like oxygen and rxs and I was saying how not one candidate was addressing poverty.
1/
No one wants to hear from actual poor people about poverty. True story: mid-90s I wrote a short story for an anthology based largely on my own experience of homelessness & my upper middle class editor at my then-publisher rejected it for her anthology as "not believable."
2/
My editor actually said that educated people don't end up on the street, so it strained credulity for the reader. Which readers, I queried.
My therapist works with homeless people and I told her this story and she sighed heavily.
These are issues missing from the primary.

People with money literally cannot imagine what it is to not have it and that is actually the biggest problem in American politics. If you have never had to choose between food and something else essential in your life, you really have no clue about poverty.
#FridayMotivation
It's not folks' fault they're privileged & haven't had that personal layer of suffering & I don't wish it on anyone
B U T you actually can learn about these things and fight to change them for everyone and also this applies to everything most especially food/housing/#healthcare.
Literally no one in the Democratic primary is talking about poor people, not even Bernie or Booker who talks about Newark a lot, and poverty is crushing millions of American women. I wrote about it here in-depth and you should read it.

Not sure which "left" this is, but Socialists like my parents were and raised us to be know sneering at poor/working class people who need the services of the State is actually elitist pedagogy, not "woke" praxis. Sometimes you need to actually help people not just lecture them.
Telling single parents (mostly women) or any parents desperate for help with their kids because they are working jobs with zero flexibility that they need to just suck it up until the politically approved cultural critique is in place is truly the zenith of not getting it. Yikes.
My neighborhood is 95% black and 100% poor and this assertion that parents should just wait until society gets that why they need after school programs while they work is because our capitalist system doesn't value them as workers is actually missing the point in a bigly way.

#Russiagate In Flames: No Evidence Of #Collusion, New Findings Challenge #DNCHack Narrative

disobedientmedia.com/2019/02/russia…
"As long as the legacy press continues to use #Russiagate to gaslight the public from focusing on domestic election interference, it remains imperative to point out that Russiagate, to date, has no basis whatsoever in fact."
In the last few weeks, we have witnessed two pillars of the #Russiagate narrative continue to disintegrate and erode.

First, a bipartisan inquiry admitted that they have yet to find evidence that the #Trump campaign coordinated with #Russia in '16.

1. This thread will take a closer look at the #FakeNews media.

"The people will believe what the media tells them they believe." –George Orwell

2. During the Cold War, one news commentator ironically noted that the Soviet people were actually less brainwashed than Westerners. In the USSR, people would receive Pravda and immediately toss it in the trash, saying “Ah! Party propaganda!”

#MAGA #WWG1WGA #QAnon #KAG #Trump
3. But in America, people would get the New York Times and believe every word, under the illusion that “we have a free press, so we can’t possibly be brainwashed.”

Dr. Mark Crispin Miller, Professor of Media Studies at NYU echoed these same sentiments:

To my right wing friends on Twitter:
I do not think that it is a coincidence that, on the week after Jews were slain in a synagogue in Pittsburgh, I have found many of my assignments at work to be having to research and write about the crimes of the Soviet Union against the Jews.
Life is serendipitous & as it seems that many of you who identify w/ the right have in good faith claimed that there is no reason to be alarmed when terms like "globalist" become part of popular discourse,it has now become duty to explain why you are wrong, & dangerously so.
If my tone seems distressed/aggressive, I ask that you forgive me. This week I have been immersed in researching the crimes of Josef Stalin against the Jews. I have been immersed in this research so much that it has begun to affect my dreaming which has now turned to nightmares.

Trump is a Russian asset. This is a thread about him & how he's brought US democracy to the edge of the abyss.
In 1987, during the Cold War, KGB paid for Trump's first trip to Moscow. He may have betrayed US even before that.

Trump returned to Moscow in 1996 with a goal of building a Trump Tower there.
