So. @VZWSupport has placed charges for calls on my cellular bill, which say they were made from a landline (which I don't have), saying the calls were made to Luxembourg and Kazakhstan.

(Narrator voice: I did not make these calls.)
Chatting with customer service, we asked for proof that these calls were made.

The "proof," according to the customer service agent, is that the charges are on my bill.

Please save me from this stupidity, @VZWSupport.
That's right. They have no proof I made the calls from a "landline," which, once again, I don't have. Because the charges are on my bill, customer service believes they are ispo facto accurate.

Please help, @VZWSupport
UPDATE: Verizon says the charges are invalid, and is crediting back my account.

Late-stage capitalism: you call customer service they flip you off, and you have to go on Twitter to get the company's attention.

This is such an important, crucial story that I fear is getting lost amid... everything.

Election workers are fearing for their lives, owing to the GOP fomenting of "fraud" conspiracy theories.

This is of a piece, along with the menacing of public health officials by people unhinged by the prospect of wearing a piece of cloth on their face to protect themselves and others from a deadly virus.

Tucker Carlson is actually a late-comer to the American right's love affair with Viktor Orban. A thread (1/n):
As I reported in @newrepublic @typeinvestigate in 2019, Orban hired a Republican strategize to plot his return to power--and his later consolidation of power--in 2010. (2/n)

Then Orban hired a Republican lobbyist, in 2014, to burnish his image on Capitol Hill and in the US press. (3/n)

Behind it all: big right-wing money versus democracy ⤵️
"Pillars of the conservative establishment, faced with a changing U.S. voter population that threatens their agenda, are exploiting Trump’s contempt for norms to devise ways to hold on to power, a "a massive covert operation run by a small group of billionaire élites."

Since Jan. 6, I haven't stopped thinking about these chilling claims that I wrote about in Unholy, by early forerunners of MAGA, that violence would be necessary to avenge their racist grievances.
The false stolen election claims also energized, and were perpetuated by Christian nationalists, as I documented here:

I wrote the afterword for the paperback of Unholy after the insurrection. You should buy it from your local independent bookstore if you want to understand how Christian and white nationalism came together in Trumpism.

I'm vaccinated am happy to wear a mask to protect my fellow humans.

It's really not hard.
"the administration still believes that vaccinated people play a 'very small' role in transmission, with the unvaccinated accounting for the vast majority of it."
