📌Right now MSNBC is failing miserably, at a time we've never needed truthful, left-leaning communications more. We are being drubbed by the oligarchs in the right-wing, fascist outposts -- like this place.

📌Here's what's MSNBC needs to do pronto.

🧵

📌Start listening to your audience, MSNBC. They hate you right now. They believe you have failed and betrayed them. Stop trying to be some “both-sides” news organization, and start capturing the millions of people who are starving for truth, and know a revolting racist when they see one.

📌Stop trying to be too many different things to too many different audiences. Immediately dump the half-baked garbage on your station — like, Morning Joe, for instance. Seriously, what is it that show supposed to be doing?

📌On January 6th, 2021, Donald Trump attacked our country and tried to incinerate our votes to remain in power. Fake electors were lining up in states across our country to overturn the election. Law enforcement officers were beaten to a pulp. He watched and did nothing.

🧵

📌It was appalling, and terrible, but at least — AT LEAST — there would be consequences, because NOBODY was going to get away with attacking the United States of America without facing severe consequences.

📌And, hell, it was going to be the easiest case to ever make. Hundreds of millions of people watched it unfold, after all.

📌Unless your attorney general is Merrick Garland.

📌As the Republicans push us toward fascism and authoritarian rule, you can expect to see far more censorship.

📌If they get their way, and I can’t think of any sound reason they won’t, they will take a sledgehammer to the Fourth Estate and try to beat it to death.

🧵

📌We know this, because THEY HAVE TOLD US this is exactly what they intend to do.

📌Ice-cold irony then that the mainstream media, which is currently screaming loudest about this NOW, failed us catastrophically BEFORE by not reporting on the consequences of another Trump “presidency.”

📌BREAKING: The GOP-controlled House just passed a bill "giving Donald Trump unlimited authority to target political enemies."

📌Worse? MUCH worse: 15 Dems joined the GOP in passing H.R. 9495 — known as the "Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act"

🧵

📌Among those 15 were Reps. Colin Allred (D-Texas), Yadira Caraveo (D-Colo.) Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), Tom Suozzi (D-N.Y.) and Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.).

📌30 Dems didn't even bother voting.

📌THIS-IS-INSANE.

📌Reporting from AlterNet: “H.R. 9495 could feasibly be used against some of the groups that vocally opposed Trump during his first administration, like the ACLU, the Human Rights Campaign, the NAACP, Planned Parenthood and the Southern Poverty Law Center among others."

📌I will NOT be a part of the self-loathing by too many in Democratic “leadership” as they try to convince people like me — a high school dropout — that I'm some college-educated elite who doesn't understand what the majority of "hardworking” white voters want in this country.
🧵

📌Look, if these complete morons on the Right want to vote against their self-interests, and America, they are beyond help, and all I will do is keep working my ass off to make sure people understand this.

📌What we have is a failure to communicate on the Left, but much more on that in a minute ... (And a warning: I am typing like the sailor I was right now, so if four-letter words offend you, you can skip all this. And happy Veterans Day to my fellow vets.)

🇺🇸 Let me tell you something, dammit:

🇺🇸 We are a battle-tested group of badass patriots that has prevailed time and again, and won one key political skirmish after another at an astonishing clip the past seven years.

🧵

🇺🇸 The fact that we have accomplished this in the face of long odds, and unrelenting opposition has been an inspiration, and will fill fat chapters of the history books Republicans would rather people didn't read.

🇺🇸 We have generated breathtaking Blue Waves and drowned Red Ones. We have won the House, and we have won the Senate. We have won the presidency, and an overwhelming majority of the vote. We have won special elections, and not-so-special ones.
