“Alito epitomizes new imperious attitude of the Court’s right-wing majority, which wants to act politically without being seen as political, and expects the public to silently acquiesce to its every directive without scrutiny, criticism, or protest.” theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
“It is not simply enough for the right-wing justices to have this power; Alito insists that the peasantry be silent about how they use it, and acquiesce not only to their delusions of impartiality but to their mischaracterization of verifiable facts.”
“If Alito wants the public to see the Court as apolitical, he should try meeting that standard, instead of lecturing others for not blinding themselves to the obvious.”
After the Towers fell, Trump's first reaction was to brag that now HE owned the tallest building in lower Manhattan.

It's VERY IMPORTANT for us to ACCURATELY remember Ukraine. Trump did not want Ukraine to open an investigation into Biden, he wanted them to "announce" they were opening one. This distinction is crucial! We now see he wanted Acting AG Rosen to "announce" the election was corrupt.
Trump believes he can force-sell a narrative. He believes if he has one corroboration independent of him, he will succeed at doing so through sheer loudness, repetition, and will. That's what he wanted from Zelenskiy on Biden. And it's what he wanted from his AG on the election.
It's a pattern. It's the essential component to his propaganda. Propaganda is pretty much the only thing that props Trump up. It's how he puts forth an aura of success despite his serial failures, an aura of authenticity despite falseness and ignorance. Time to expose him!
1) Texas Democrats must CONTINUE to deny the legislature a quorum to pass their voter suppression bill. Last week they delayed the passing of the bill by walking out in protest, denying them a quorum. They called it the “Alamo.” #BoycottSupressionSession#Alamo
2) Bravo, Texas Democrats! If this is the “Alamo”--a last stand for democracy—then keep standing. Keep denying Republicans quorum. Don’t attend the special session, called specially for voter suppression. #BoycottSupressionSession#Alamo
(1) #UNFIT is hot!! Website is jamming, reviews are great (WaPo is latest), and we can't keep up with the DM's. Making this tweet to give details on access, and share some things you might be curious about:
1. The film was NEVER blocked. When we saw that the larger platforms were late, we thought as you might have, that the WH had a hand in it. They didn't! But larger platforms did receive materials late - there were tech difficulties; we've looked into it and they’ve been resolved
(3) ALL platforms are now either LIVE or will be very soon, EVERY platform listed will be LIVE. Here is the status by platform -
You can STREAM on FandangoNOW, VUDU, Microsoft, and Google Play. We even added links on our website
WATCH page to those platforms for easy clicking.
(1) Thread to our Followers: As many of you who have followed us know, making the film #UNFIT was a 2 1/2 year odyssey. We followed the news cycle from caravan to early scandals, Mueller, Trump gaffes, Barr, Impeachment, all the way through to the pandemic.
(2) When we finally locked picture, we secured a theatrical release (yay!). But days later, all theaters closed from Covid (bummer!). We had to retool, find digital distribution that would get us a large potential audience. We had talks with premium networks. Not large enough.
(3) We are VERY pleased to announce that #UNFIT will be on virtually every Cable Platform (Comcast, Spectrum, etc.), every Satellite Platform (DirecTV, DISH, etc.) and some highly visible streaming platforms (Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, etc.) beginning Sep 1 2020.
(1) As tweeted earlier, we have a significant UPDATE on our film #UNFIT. The #1 goal of the film was always to put forth discussion of his pathology, get it firmly into the public narrative, using voices of those most qualified to assess, AND to make an ACTUAL difference! (more)
(2) To make an actual difference the film needed to speak truth and science, and be good enough to secure real distribution. It had to be both informational and entertaining - doctors would be featured, and pathology discussed, BUT it had to be more than talking heads - much more
(3) - the film needed to cover the ripple effects of Trump - the upending of societal norms, and the impact of Trumpism (aka Malignant Normality). And, the film also needed to be extremely professional, with clips (licensed), graphics, animation, and tight, crisp editing. (more)
