1/ Today we launch the definitive, enraging, timeline of nine months of Trump's COVID denial. I highly suggest you read it, share it, and if you're say a journalist or organizer, use it to help fortify your own arguments. motherjones.com/politics/2020/…
2/ Our Trump COVID timeline is also sortable by these tags. motherjones.com/politics/2020/…
3/ So, for example, March 8 is tagged for "self-praise" "blaming others" and "golf"
4/ August 3, is tagged for "Interfering with science" "self-praise" and "downplaying risks" motherjones.com/politics/2020/…
5/ August 30 is tagged for "vaccine promises" "downplaying risks" "golf" and "milestones." motherjones.com/politics/2020/…
6/ It's up-to-date, and we will keep adding.
7/ Sadly, with the news that Michigan militia members plotted to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer, this entry is even more chilling.
8/ Here's a video of the first 100 days of this timeline. More videos coming.... via @YouTube
9/Here's that video, native to Twitter:
10/ I remember when i was sitting in my Dad's hospital room, 11 days before he passed, and I heard that South Korea was burning its money. I knew then that in no way were we taking this virus as seriously as we should, and that catastrophe awaited us: motherjones.com/politics/2020/…

Epic project by @LelandNally—who made 2,000 phone calls trying to talk to everyone in Jeffrey Epstein's little black book—and his editor @tcraggs22. motherjones.com/politics/2020/…

The @SongExploder for Netflix version of “Wait For It” was a perfect introduction to song writing for my 12-yo, thank you @HrishiHirway @Lin_Manuel et al.
Ok I remember “Losing My Religion” as being a Michael Stipe’s public coming out. Am I miss remembering that time table?
Or the coming out to anyone who doesn’t need it absolutely spelled out? Anyway, completely get not wanting to discuss your 30-yo (gulp) song via your sexuality forever but well anyway, that’s how I remember it being heard and appreciated.

This isn’t about “centrists.” It’s about winning Pennsylvania. Now, if you believe that asserting the most climate-forward position for the next four weeks is a winning strategy/worth the risk, fine. But that’s what this is about: PA as the likely tipping point electoral state.
I get it’s a tactical move for some groups to say nothing but full GND support should be met with anything but derision. I question whether that position, in this moment, with these stakes, is the wise one to be more broadly adopted by the Left— for the next TWENTY SEVEN DAYS.
The reason Pence et al keep pushing on this is they want to drive a wedge between winning PA and youth/Green support.

So...consider that.

I have yet to see a @PeteButtigieg appearance on Fox where he doesn’t just destroy. Not all liberals can/should do. But he has cracked the code.
Having Mayor Pete be the Fox News surrogate for the Biden campaign is very smart:

1/ Good evening, in no way should @SusanPage be moderating this debate, given that she threw a party for Pence's mentee and head of CMS, Seema Verma motherjones.com/politics/2020/…
2/ Still outraged by this horrible breech of ethics on the part of @SusanPage and the Commission on Presidential Debates.
3/ One thing for journalists to attend parties for government officials. But to THROW them? Maybe if you're life-long pals and its a pre-wedding thing. But just to curry favor under guise of celebrating "girls night"? KEEP IT motherjones.com/politics/2019/…

Fuck them. Do it now or stfu.

Facebook is a garbage company.
This hedge against a likely Biden win (legally at least) is why this company needs to be at the least broken up and subjected to far greater regulation and at best plowed under with a layer of salt on top.
Anybody who continues to work at Facebook is a "good German."
