"There has been no accountability for the Trump administration's handling of COVID."

"Everyone is waiting for the other shoe to drop while trying to ignore the boot that's stomping on our neck, which is the threat of autocracy, barely defeated in January and that has barely gone underground." - @sarahkendzior

"There has been no accountability for the Trump administration's handling of COVID, which included profiteering off death, purposefully letting the virus spread, withholding PPE... and lying constantly about how Americans could protect themselves." - @sarahkendzior

This is the last week of April, and tonight's @GaslitNation intro made me recognize the headline-driven loop we've been in since the first week of January.

We've become distracted from accountability by things like #GaetzGate, #ThankYouJoe, and #TuckerCarlson news cycles.

I'm posting the above tweets now & live tweeting as I listen from here. This episode of @GaslitNation will be available wherever you get your podcasts, or listen early & get bonus episodes on Patreon.

If you're new here, I do this every week.

In this episode of Gaslit Nation, @SarahKendzior talks about the way we have been locked out of reporting by paywalls.

Here's a trick that works on some websites, if the problem is "You've read your last free article."

Add a "." after .com

"This is a very poorly timed initiative to paywall everything... We are living in a disinformation crisis. We are living in a public health crisis. We are dealing with information warfare, and the most accurate places... have information that we cannot see." - @sarahkendzior

"Disinformation is free, and it's filling in the gaps while nearly every other source of information has been paywalled or put out of business." - @sarahkendzior

YES YES YES YES YES!

"Tucker Carlson is the Republican party... They've consolidated the toxic personalities in our nation against us. What they're ultimately doing is furthering the decline of the United States into an actual shit-hole country." - @AndreaChalupa #TuckerCarlsonMustGo

Andrea reminds us, rightfully so, that when we talk about Putin or the Kremlin, we're also talking about the Russian mafia. trumpfile.org/fsb-whistleblo…

The coup "was not about one man. This was about the corrupted institutions who enabled Trump to stay in power, who bended to his will, and who he purged and packed with white supremacists & extremists & mafiosos & supplicants & all sorts of horrible people." - @sarahkendzior

Within.

DHS in 2018: Why would you think that we're violent white supremacists?

Lots of great discussion in this episode about police brutality, #BlackLivesMatter, gun violence, and elite (and white) impunity.

Republicans "want white people to be able to kill with impunity."

"In Oklahoma, a law has been passed that basically legalizes murdering protesters... They want to legalize you getting into your car and running over protesters at your discretion and walking away." - @sarahkendzior

Wait... Didn't Florida do the exact same thing?

"Tucker Carlson is trying to get Americans who don't wear masks outside to attack children who are wearing masks. This is one of the most revolting things I've seen thus far." - @sarahkendzior #TuckerMustGo

Sarah and Andrea think Tucker will run in 2024. thedailybeast.com/tucker-carlson…

"They are going for a structural rigging, and whoever the actual [Republican] president is, they're just a body. It doesn't matter in the way that it did before. They're gonna have less influence because it's an operation." - @sarahkendzior

Friendly reminder that the NRA is a Russian dark money outlet and One America News Network is a Russian disinformation outlet.

"What these Tucker Carlsons want is for you to succumb to their flooding the zone with shit. They do that on purpose to demoralize you, to force you to check out, to exhaust you...

Claim your power... Run for office... Flood the system with empathy." - @AndreaChalupa
