Because I don’t lie about Selena, I don’t have to block her but we were indeed at a baby shower for a mutual friend. We had a nice chat & I, bc I’m a sentient human being, was aware we had been in twitter fights over politics. I assumed she knew that too & during the convo...
I made some conciliatory off hand comment along the lines of “it’s nice that two people can fight online but get a long in person. Online can be so toxic.” But she didn’t realize who I was, which is fine, I just wished I hadn’t wasted time referring to our twitter beefs. I...
Really don’t like to say this (bc it’s so often a sexist stereotype but it of course sometimes applies to people who happen to be women) but there’s no other way to describe her response besides “triggered.” She listed off some anti bernie talking points & grabbed her coat...
And left. It was irrational Mimi-rocah level visceral bernie hatred. I stayed at the party, had a nice time, we all talked about politics and someone nobody else had to leave.
That was supposed to say “somehow nobody else had to leave.” Not “somebody”

You work for Scooter Libby, former Dick Cheney advisor, who went to jail for outing a CIA agent to get back at her husband for saying Saddam Hussein didn't have WMDs. He was pardoned by Trump. The think tank you work at was founded by the inspiration for Dr. StrangeLove...
I thought you were a standard issue liberal interventionist. I didn't know you were an actual neocon. To be fair, you hide the fact that you work for the Hudson Institute but you list the Kleptocracy project which they run. I almost admire your willingness to talk about anyone...
Here's more info about the founder of your thinktank. Something I really like about Scooter Libby is that he also dabbles in erotica. Here are some gems. wired.com/2018/03/geeks-…
Huge shout out to the toxic Blue Check Establishment white bros who cosplay as male feminist anti-racist allies, hold Bernie responsible for every single no-name rando "toxic" bro & smear women/women of color without tagging us bc they're as brave as their photos suggest.
But really, I'm grateful that Casey took the time to tune into my stream.
I wonder what they found problematic. I bet it was saying that the slave trade in Libya is bad, actually.
If you take human rights seriously, & aren't just red-baiting, I'm sure you'll ask Rep. Meeks @RepGregoryMeeks about his support for Colombian death squads. Did Cuba mistreat LGBTQ people? Yes. Did the United States? Does Cuba still mistreat LGBTQ people? Does Colombia? Which...
country formally apologized for its mistreatment and implemented a national holiday against Homophobia? Cuba. How many people have died of Covid-19 in Cuba? Have you ever asked Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama about why they didn't declare the coup in Honduras a coup? Did you...
ask Hillary Clinton why, regardless of her position, she lied about the policies that accompany declaring a coup a coup? Did you ask them about how & why Honduras turned into "the murder capitol of the world?" Did you ask them about its booming femicide rates? Have you asked...
I think the Left should expose how evil The Lincoln Project & some of Biden's potential cabinet picks are. AND help Osoff & Warnock defeat their odious opponents in Georgia's senate races. Biden would like nothing more to be able to pretend that his refusal to push popular...
policies is because of gridlock & opposition. We need to deprive him of as much cover as possible. Also, @ossoff & Warnack @ReverendWarnock are running against 2 evil Republicans. Regardless of whether you believe in a third party or want to reform The Dems this is a good move...
@ossoff@ReverendWarnock This is in addition to organizing we gotta do outside of electoral politics. To people in my mentions saying it's Trumpian & Manichean to call @ProjectLincoln & cabinet picks "evil," you're right. I should've been more precise: there's confederate flag-waving evil @therickwilson
Dear @BernieSanders@SenSanders: I’m pretty ride or die. Please endorse Alex Morse @AlexBMorse. It’s the right thing to do & no matter what, you’ll be on the right side of history. Not only is he a young progressive who grew up in poverty, made it but hasn’t turned his back on...
his family & community; not only did his brother, who died from an overdose this year, struggle with addiction; not only did his mother, who died 2 years ago at 56, struggle with mental illness; but he has fought for these issues & people like his mother & brother & many other...
issues & people as mayor through things like needle exchange programs, cannibus legalization, and welcoming hundreds of Puerto Rican families displaced by Hurricane Maria; not only is he taking on the establishment; not only have others who have taken on the establishment like...
Misleading reporting from @PaddyJ1325@masslivenews. The story isn't about Morse's "conduct" but the conduct of the MA Dem Party which tried to destroy evidence of the smear campaign & hit job they coordinated against the candidate. Most people don't read past headlines but...
but the article doesn't even mention the fact that Morse was never even accused of having a relationship with his own student. It's just shameful innuendo, which relies on homophobia and the fact that people don't read entire articles. Somehow, while they mention investigation...
into Morse, they forgot or didn't know about the fact that there is actually an investigation into just how involved the Dems were in the hit job. How about the fact that people have signed a letter condemning the treatment of Morse? The behavior of certain members of the...
