“you could simply describe Trump as a never-ending poop cruise, guaranteed to create new content daily. And I don’t know how Licht can solve that systemic problem, with or without Trump.”
#CNN
I have ideas in the next post…

vox.com/2022/8/26/2332…
Imagine a network that filled those no-breaking-news hours with mind-blowing civic education and systems-level narratives. Examples: What @maddow did with #Ultra. @doctorow dissections of the #enshittification of big tech and media. @HC_Richardson-style historical parallels…
Explaining how fascism works and why it works, the Tolerance Paradox, etc. Blowing the minds of white suburban people (like me!) with the history of redlining and stories like this…
Spotlighting the top OSINT researchers like @jimstewartson who battle in obscurity against powerful people and psyop narratives crafted by nation-states…
Interviewing regular people in Kyiv- who get on tech design spec conference calls just hours after air raid sirens and then work on drone design on weekends (they inspire me daily!)…
… setting up a debate between @StephanieKelton and Lawrence Summers about #MMT and the #ScarcityMyth … a deep-dive on #economic factors like oligopoly-induced inflation…
👆 Dear #CNN, BREAKING NEWS is a sugar rush. Explaining the systems-level narratives that explain the modern world, and that build our civic muscle, would be a worthy project for these 24-hour “news” channels. ffs help us save #democracy, ok? …
The BREAKING NEWS model was perfect for the first Iraq War. That was 30 years ago. It’s time to evolve. It’s so small-minded to think of just cable news as the offering. Think also about the *promise* of Facebook and Twitter, how they spoiled the opportunity, and what is possible
Yes! 👆👇

The #SAGAFTRAstrike could be a catalyst toward creator-collective production. Applied to entertainment 👇and also per above then to news. 👆

Wow! Very important read. I'll share a couple quotes below.
🎩@msmalarkey24
"It took years for the scales to fall from my eyes. A major turning point occurred when I took a leave of absence... to pursue a late-in-life doctorate. Part of my research involved the German Christian movement of the 1930s, which supported the Nazi Party...
"One of the most respected Bible scholars of that period, Paul Althaus, declared Hitler’s ascent to the chancellorship to be a 'gift and miracle from God.' I began to suspect that we evangelicals were similarly allowing our faith to be co-opted for political purposes." ...

Let’s talk about “But his debate!”

You know how based on our networks and the stuff we hear some stuff gets amplified and takes hold as a narrative? The more someone is exposed to those narratives (which money helps amplify)

the more widespread those systems of thought become?

You know how there’s some people on the left where if they can’t get their guy (eg Sarandon w Bernie) they’re willing to say “fuck it”?

Well some of those people have money — and they hate Biden and many also Harris… 2/
And they see an opening — before they saw Dean Phillips as the crack in the doorway to push open. Now they don’t agree on what comes next (per @AOC IG live yesterday) but they see a way to crack that door again.

🧵on the student protests. Wish me luck...

Beware of those seeking to fan the flames of conflict for its own sake.

These things can all be true at the same time:
1/n
These things can all be true at the same time:
- Hamas is a terror organization that committed some of the worst possible atrocities on 10/7.
- Netanyahu is a Trumpian strongman, whose atrocious and criminal actions in Gaza deserve protest...
2/n
- Iran proved in its 300+ missile strike on Israel that it wants to obliterate the Jewish people there.
- The Israeli people have protested in large numbers to get rid of Netanyahu; they deserve to not be wiped out by Iranian missiles...

The #BorderCrisis is part of Putin's war against the US. I fear it could enter a kinetic phase.

Now Republicans are helping Putin with the #border and it's scary AF. Receipts and videos 1/10 🧵

First, here's a photo of Greg and his friend. They sure seem nice.

Greg's transportation network drops people off in far-away US cities.
It could be redeployed to strategically disperse Russians and their agents. Why do I say that? ... 2/10

Mexico is crawling with Russian spies. 3/10

A friend asked, "Who are the #accelerationists?"

Basically, people who want to burn it all down so they can usher in something “better”. They don’t all have to agree on what comes next. So the clever ones can manipulate the naive into strange and dangerous alliances.🧵
... Bring about Armageddon? Let’s accelerate that! End the US dollar so we can have financial liberty with crypto and gold? Let’s go! Speed up capitalism so we can get to Mars and fulfill our destiny as a multi planetary species - no time to waste...
... Keep fossil fuels in the Earth? That will only slow down the engines of 'progress'! Break the government? It was filled with corrupt leftists anyway! Pit the Jews and the Arabs against each other? The Battle of Gog and Magog will soon be here, and Christians will be saved!...

THIS IS HUGE.
@judgeluttig, whom Pence turned to for legal advice on 1/6 AND Laurence Tribe AND Federalist Society scholars agree
that the 14th Amendment already disqualifies Trump.
Cc @MuellerSheWrote
But who will enforce it? Read on (quoting the Federalist Society profs)...
Do we need help from Congress? No.

Is a conviction required? No!
"Innocent until proven guilty" is the standard for prison.
The standard here is different. Image
