Caitlin (@caitoz) and her #TwoAssCheeks analysis of US Politics. Of course one cheek is far preferable to the other. In my eyes. #Vote
A cogent argument, she presents: caitlinjohnstone.com/2020/09/19/rbg…
e.g. “If however you recognize that America has two parties that are owned and operated by a single oligarchic class which has more or less the same overarching goal as far as ordinary people are concerned, it looks completely different.“
This is a fight against fascism, folks.

1/ It Wasn’t Strictly a Coup Attempt. But It’s Not Over, Either. Via @NYTimes nytimes.com/2021/01/07/wor…
‘“We know how to prevent coups,” said Dr. de Bruin, who literally wrote the book on how to do so.
2/ “We have a whole set of actions that international organizations, military officers, individuals can use. But we know far less about how to prevent anti-democratic actions.”

A coup either succeeds or fails, usually within a few hours.
3/ Stopping anti-democratic actions like Wednesday’s attack on the Capitol requires political engagement over time. Legal remedies like arrests and impeachment can help.

“This is why there needs to be a vigorous effort to use the extensive available photography to identity as many mob members as possible, arrest them, try them, and punish them.” — The MAGA mob and the imperative to win - Slow Boring slowboring.com/p/maga-mob
‘But Wednesday, America’s chickens were coming home to roost.
•We know the culpability of Donald Trump.
•We know the cynicism of Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz.
•We know the official who, anonymously, after the election asked The Washington Post “What’s the downside...
for humoring him?”
Well we know the downside. Terror. Chaos. Injuries.”

1/ Great write up today. Via @HC_Richardson “...Trump is trying to retain relevance by creating chaos, as usual.”

2/ Quote continues... ‘He [#Trump] continues to insist he won the election, against all evidence. Christopher Krebs, the director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, earlier pushed back against his insistence the vote was tainted, calling the election,
3/ “the most secure in American history.” Today, Trump fired him. Krebs tweeted “Honored to serve. We did it right. Defend Today, Secure Tomorrow.”’ #TransitionToBiden

via @HC_Richardson Looks like Trump thinks he's heading for a military coup. For some reason I doubt the military will go along. #TransitionToBiden November 14, 2020 heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/november-14-…
If @realDonaldTrump thinks he has the military in his pocket, he has vastly underestimated how seriously our service members take their oath to uphold the Constitution of the USA. Trump has been ignoring the Constitution for too long. #TransitionToBiden must start.
If Trump or anyone in Trump World think installing one of his “loyalists” as SecDef gives him permission to go outside the Constitution, he’s about to get a long overdue civics lesson 🙂 #TransitionToBiden #RepublicansGrowAPair

I say: You can always tell when Trump is full of shit when he goes into hyperbole (lying) and gets that smug look on his face. Quote from the article next in thread.

2/ — Gail Collins: Biden won [the debate]. He was strong when he spoke directly to the audience. Trump was terrible when he talked about race. How many times has he said he’s been the best president for Black Americans since Abraham Lincoln?
3/ That was always a stunner, but he topped it when he announced that he was the “least racist person in the room.” —

1/ The opposite of Keurig simplicity: This is a picture of the 3 minute brewing part of my coffee prep ritual.
2/ An infusion technique using 18 g of Starbucks Decaf Espresso roast beans, ground fresh to a medium fine and brewed using a timer in that sealed @AeroPressHQ chamber with 350 ml (20 oz) of 180 degrees F bottled water. Makes something like a Venti Americano which I drink black.

This is only after Mint and I share our caffeinated Latte drinks on the balcony 🙂 #AeroPress AeroPress Coffee Maker
