📌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.

📌Spent the afternoon on the road canvassing for @KamalaHarris and @tammybaldwin here in Madison, Wisconsin.

📌So a quickie thread, with a big finish ...

🧵

📌Turns out where I am in West Madison we've hit our canvassing marks so well, they sent me out to SW Dane County in the town of Oregon to help out there.

📌Dane County is the Blue Wall of this Blue Wall state. Joe Biden beat the revolting Trump by 175,000 votes here in 2020.

📌The Oregon area is rural as hell, and might be confused for stereotypically being kind of Trumpee ...

📌Well, there's some of that, but damn if it isn't bluer than blue in most places, so get this ...

📌I have heard more than enough of this grotesque garbage that perhaps we should try to understand what makes the Trump voter tick, and somehow sympathize with their support of an unapologetic loudmouth who sees “good people” on both sides of a violent white supremacist rally.
🧵

📌Have you seen this drivel that Kamala Harris and other Dems have done an inadequate job of connecting with Trump voters who see nothing dangerous about a man who refers to human beings as “vermin,” and has adopted Adolph Hitler’s talking points at his odious campaign rallies?

📌Have you seen this low-grade nonsense that we should work to lower the temperature in this country, and maybe not take it personally when one party has gone completely in the tank for a hideous man who told the losers who attacked America on Jan. 6, 2021 that he “loves them?"
