๐๐๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ก: I woke at 1 a.m., in huge pain, couldnโt sleep, and you know what I couldnโt stop thinking about? That @DavidCornDC and @Karoli wrote about the #Groundswell cabal in 2013. 9 effing years ago. And now, over a year after their finest work on Jan. 6th,
@DavidCornDC@Karoli the @NYTimes decides that maybe they should finally do a story about Ginni Thomas and her vicious partisan influence on her husband, a #SCOTUS justice. I mean, come on! Why am I the only one that seems to be vocally incensed about these things? Is everyone else
@DavidCornDC@Karoli@nytimes just numb to this abusive neglect by our so-called institutions? We should be talking about not only what Ginni Thomas has been up to all these years, but also why these major newspapers have gotten away with ignoring her all these years. Iโm just sick of this
@DavidCornDC@Karoli@nytimes shit. And I donโt understand why my thesis is so difficult to comprehend. The only thing these people respect is power. The only power we have is the power to break their golden goose. So letโs break it, and watch how fast they collapse. They have bluffed us into
@DavidCornDC@Karoli@nytimes accepting appalling concessions. Itโs time to say โno masโ and just stop eating their turd sandwiches while our favorite pundits performatively caterwaul about it, to no practical effect whatever.

So this day in crazy, as @JoanWalsh used to say, we have Michigan Republicans telling voters to turn off voting machines if they see something they donโt like. But the only crazy here is in the rest of us who allow this madness to go on without beating up the media 1/4
@joanwalsh and all of the arbiters of culture and society that we once thought we had. Societyโs airbrakes on the crazy train, if you will. Since we will never make Republicans act like rational people, our only choice is to punish the people who can punish them with shame, 2/4
@joanwalsh and financially ruinous career consequences, but donโt. Face reality, folks. Our real enemy is this soulless media. Itโs time to face that sad fact while we still can. They are the only people who have the power to redirect where this society is heading. Not you, 3/4
For the public record, that email was about a different package. Yet you made me respond to it anyway. And what was the automated response about? Nothing except how much I enjoyed your service. It took me 10 minutes to get you to acknowledge that that was a
different issue and now weโre still back to waiting for the phantom order to maybe arrived or not. This is inexcusable Amazon. Your own staff admitted that you lied to me. You told me both yesterday and today that the package was out for delivery, when it had not
even been checked out of a fulfillment center yet. So that was a straight up lie. And one with very serious consequences because I was unable to find an alternative product in time. A product my doctors were expecting me to be using yesterday morning and I would
There have been so many myths for years about boycotts and pressure campaigns. And people donโt realize the greatest purveyor of them are the targets of boycotts and pressure campaigns. They donโt want you thinking that they notice or care. But they do care. A lot.
The Republicans do too but youโd never know it. This is why what is necessary is not any one specific action but a consistent series of them overtime. And they must have a critical mass - or a lot of - publicity or thereโs little point t0 them. I have no illusions
and I donโt like efforts that try to create them. This is going to be a very hard project turning capitalism around. But it can be turned around but Iโm never going to suggest then anyone action or effort itโs going to be easy or even effective. Too many efforts
The #midterms are too close for me to stay quiet about an idea Iโve been hinting at since early last year.
Iโve been conferring with some smart people who are helping me scope out a way we 1/26
might convince seasoned political influencers and organizers that well-mobilized #consumerPower holds the key to how we can push-back hard against a #RepublicanCoup we all know is in progress.
Only the uninformed are unaware of the mostly Republican-led 2/26
#AntiDemocrats who are busy building beachheads across the country, preparing to wage war against our elections, laws, politics, and values. They are doing this in plain view of the world. And without a serious plan to disrupt them, they are likely to succeed.
Yesterday, after a 4 hrs wait at a retail site for โfree rapid covid testing,โ they tell me the test is only 75% accurate. My friend Steve, who supervises testing says โBS, whose test was that?โ So to find out,
I call the name listed on the the cheesy application website (dcltesting-2.com) and their cheesier โresults card.โ โDoctorโs Clinical Lab (DCL).โ
Nice lady answers, says โwe donโt know who they are, or why they use our name, but youโre like the 20th caller
since yesterday.โ
So now I am only hold with โcenterforcovidcontrol.orgโ (who directed me to this site) which claimed โ275 locations.โ I am now caller number 77, with an estimated wait time of 70 minutes. (And you know it will drop the call when Iโm down to #2)
Gโmorning, Twitter. I hate to bring you down to my level, but misery loves company. I am just depressed AF over this story, but at the same time, my minor medical maladies suddenly feel trivial.
Remember that horror story of the Belgian man who woke up and told
us he was fully aware while in a coma for 23 yrs? Well, apparently, there are 1000s more like him, trapped in their inert bodies, fully conscious, hearing everything, but unable to respond. The next Terry Schiavo case will be a lot harder. sciencefocus.com/the-human-bodyโฆ
I cannot image such an existence without sweating. Now that we know of this living hell, we need new laws that โaskโ if they wish to be euthanized. Anyone who would force people to live in this state are not fully functioning human beings themselves.
