I’m not great at self promotion, but I did a deep dive into what’s really happening in #Florida under DeSantis a couple months ago, and the NewYork frickin’ Times just did a puff piece about him today. Compare the efforts and tell me independent work isn’t so essential right now.

@nytimes

Who cares how old he is @nytimes?? The man’s a wanna be Dictator. Look at his state. Look at his policies. Look at the corruption and the anti-business actions for companies who don’t tow his line. Your article is so deeply irresponsible.

If you’d rather listen to this completely sourced deep dive on DeSantis & #Florida the PoliticsGirl Podcast is available everywhere you get your pods. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

The powers that be don’t want a free flow of information in the people’s hands. They want us dependent on them for knowledge, so they can feed us propaganda or sell us stuff. We collectively organize here. Question authority here. Share truth here. It’s not working for them.

#BLM was born here. The #Resistance grew here. I learned about what was really happening in #Iran here. I can follow #Ukraine from the ground here. Hell, even the rants I do found success on this platform. People crave truth & knowledge. We grow from it & change because of it.

Where else can I connect with brilliant epidemiologists, career journalists, appellate lawyers, historians, civil rights warriors, politicians and experts in every field? It democratizes information. I’m smarter & more informed because of Twitter, and I’m not alone.

I recently did a video where I asked, “What do we do in a future filled with change if we’re surrounded by people who refuse to adapt?”

To be clear, I was thinking better education & leadership but, enough people thought I meant eugenics (!!) that I removed the post.

However, I do think we have to consider how disturbing it is to face the next stage of humanity with teammates who prove daily they won’t play for the team, even to save their own lives. How do you square that circle?
2/

The future that’s coming will require adaptation & evolution. It will require accepting reality, listening to experts and working together for the common good.

I understand there is a lot of confusion regarding the California recall. I have been in contact with the California Secretary of State and these are the answers I received…Thread.
1/

The recall will ask two questions 1. Do you want to recall the governor? And 2. If the governor is recalled who do you want to replace him? There are 46 alternatives. If the recall goes through, whomever gets the most votes wins.
2/

If 50% or more vote NO on the first question, the governor remains in office. If more than 50% vote yes, the governor would be recalled and the person to replace him would be the person with the most votes.

The Republicans can no longer win on ideas so they plan to retain power through partisan gerrymandering, voter suppression & fear leaving us with an oligarchy of white, patriarchal, minority rule forever.
We can not allow it.
