THREAD ON HOLDING TRUMP ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS LIES IN OHIO

I’m live from Cleveland, and here’s the plan, @OHDems and friends who want to help turn Ohio blue

There’s no way @JoeBiden can fact check every one of Trump’s lies tonight. That would be all he does.

But...

1/
...WE can all hold Trump accountable for his lies tonight. We can make each lie painful for him. And that’s our plan tonight:

It’s become clear....Ohio can end the Trump presidency, and end his plot to undo the outcome before it even starts.

2/

A blue Ohio saves our nation.

So our plan tonight? Every time Trump tells a lie right here in Ohio, let’s hold him accountable right here in Ohio

Every time he lies, make him pay.

Make him feel it

By giving to our effort to turn Ohio blue

We have created a special page for this. And every time Trump lies (if we can keep up) we will call it out and link to our page.

And each time, we hope you will consider holding him accountable for each lie by giving $10 (or more) through the page.

4/

We will keep everyone posted on how much we are holding him accountable.

Bottom line: the more he lies IN Ohio, and about Ohio, the more we want to hold him accountable right here in Ohio.

And we will, by winning here, w your help.

5/
secure.actblue.com/donate/cledeba…
Let’s not force Joe Biden to fact check every lie.

Let’s hold Trump accountable ourselves.

It’s On!

Who’s ready?

END

Oligarchs and Education

A 🧵

In response to the HB-1 visa debate, unlike Vivek Ramaswamy, my first thought didn’t turn to “Friends” or sleepovers.

No, my mind went to a different place:

1/ Image
And that is: some of the very oligarchs decrying that our nation does not generate enough home-grown talent to fill high tech jobs are also the ones who have been destroying our system of public education for decades.

2/
And by that I’m primarily referring to the state-level (and soon-to-be nationwide) push for universal private vouchers and low-flying for-profit charter schools, which we know are delivering terrible results while leading to slashed public education budgets.

Service, Personified

When he won the Nobel Peace Prize, in 2002, Jimmy Carter shared lessons he learned from a teacher back in Georgia:

“I thought often during my years in the White House of an admonition that we received in our small school in Plains, Georgia…

1/ Image
from a beloved teacher, Miss Julia Coleman. She often said: ‘We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles.’

When I was a young boy, this same teacher also introduced me to Leo Tolstoy’s novel, “War and Peace.”

2/
She interpreted that powerful narrative as a reminder that the simple human attributes of goodness and truth can overcome great power. She also taught us that an individual is not swept along on a tide of inevitability but can influence even the greatest human events.

MAGA Games, Day 2

A 🧵

This was supposed to be the week of Squid Game 2, and Beast Games (if you have kids, you know).

But who knew that an unscheduled breakout of MAGA Games would rival them?

Day 1 was the unexpected explosion.

Day 2…

1/ Image
the shrapnel still reverberated around the right-wing universe.

Vivek Steps Back

First, Vivek Ramaaswamy, who started it all, pulled back and attempted to move on—although others didn’t want to let him.

But on his way back to “work,” he couldn’t help…

2/ Image
but try to reframe the narrative (a direct assault on “Friends,” prom queens and sleepovers) that had gone so badly.

How do you unite a fractured right?
Vivek knows. Just pretend you had been attacking drag queens, Cardi B and woke history and everyone will like you again:

🚨 🥊 MAGA Infighting 🥊

A 🧵

Day 26 — December 26, 2024

The Christmas spirit faded quickly in MAGA-world, as the following day was marked by an explosion of infighting among its factions and biggest names.

1/
A week of of social media debate about tech companies hiring large numbers of employees from other nations, via HB-1 visas, exploded when DOGE co-chair Vivek Ramaswamy attempted to explain the trend. American culture is broken, he tweeted, marked

2/ Image
by too many “Friends” reruns and prom queens and not enough admiration of characters like Screech.

That cultural broadside launched a predictable backlash of both rational responses along with fierce anti-immigrant invective.

Day 22 — December 22, 2024

Still a private citizen, Trump staked claims on the territory of two sovereign nations. After the President of Panama rebuffed Trump’s suggestion that the US should reclaim the Panama Canal from Panama, Trump replied: “we’ll see about that!”

1/ Image

Early this morning, Trump staked another claim—this time declaring that the United States should seize Greenland from Denmark:

2/ Image
In a different context, from a different source, such saber-rattling would spark international crises.

But it’s Trump, so most of the nation and world—his own allies included—dismiss these comments.

NEW WHITEBOARD

Lessons from the Musk/Trump Shutdown Chaos

A 🧵

While it’s unclear what will happen in the coming days, Musk’s chaos machine has clarified a number of realities even before the Trump term begins:

WATCH, RT and

1/
1) with his billions, willingness to invest it in primaries, and huge digital/disinformation megaphone via Twitter/X, Musk has more power/sway than Trump and is not afraid to show that to the world (past fat cats hid this fact better);

2/
2) just a few tweets from Musk can launch a battle royale within the Republican Party; given their thin margins in the House, and fear of primaries, that is a guarantee of chaos and perpetual leadership uncertainty;
