In 2017, Rovian operative @TheRickWilson raised $65K on GoFundMe - almost certainly from #Resistance liberals -\- purportedly to make a documentary based on his book that #Resistance liberals made a NYT best-seller. Still no film. I'm sure it's coming:

Promises, promises.....

"Final stretch" -- @TheRickWilson, March, 2018

Congrats to all the people who funded this. #Resist by continuing to give all your money to Bush/Cheney operatives and lobbyists.
Do any #Resistance Liberals who transferred their cash to Karl Rove's offspring, @TheRickWilson, for a documentary that never (yet) got made wonder what was done with their cash, or is it just written off as a cost of doing #Resistance?

Anyone who questions what @TheRickWilson did with the $65k in #Resistance cash he collected for a film not made, or why he featured a Confederate flag on a boat, just gets called a Kremlin agent.

That was long Rovian tactics -- now liberal discourse:🇷🇺🇷🇺

Does @gofundme care about what's done with the large amounts of cash people use its service to raise from the public for things that are repeatedly promised but never delivered?

Regardless of one's views on the trans/TERF debate, JK Rowling's victimhood complex is suffocating & narcissistic.

She's one of the world's richest & most famous people, but views herself as a supreme victim because she endures what all public figures endure: harsh criticism.
JK Rowling Defense Twitter is one of the most bizarre corners of this website I've encountered, which is saying a lot.

Wade in at your own peril.
I'm genuinely interesting in understanding how and why the UK became the epicenter - Ground Zero - for anti-trans fanaticism. Other than the fact that a failed, collapsed, former Empire needs something to do, I'd fascinated by any good theories about why it's based there. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

"A close look at Bolivian election data suggests an initial analysis by the O.A.S. that raised questions of vote-rigging — and helped force out a president — was flawed."

In other words: another US-aided destruction of another Latin American democracy:

It was clear from the start, but now even the NYT is admitting: what happened in Bolivia was nothing short of a coup by the US and its OAS puppet, deposing one of the most successful democratically elected leaders in modern Latin American history: 🇧🇴🇧🇴
In acknowledging that OAS/US claims of election fraud were lies -- the claims used to justify the coup against Morales -- the NYT forgot to mention that it itself, in its Editorial when that coup happened, endorsed that lie:

Same tragic story over & over

This is exactly the "balancing" argument the international Right made from the start against lockdowns: yes, Covid-19 kills people, but so does a Depression, and therefore lockdowns & quarantines are immoral.

This view transformed from "morally reprehensible" to noble overnight:
I spoke this morning to @krystalball and @esaagar about this shift in Covid rhetoric, the authoritarianism and police state tactics evident since the protests began, and about the state of civil liberties generally in the US with the pandemic & protests:

I've been vocally supportive of the protests from the start and still am. But the radical, sudden, extreme shift in how our authorities talk and issue decrees about Covid-19 -- without any attempt to justify the 180 degree reversal -- is creepy and authoritarian:
