Live-tweeting the debate here....I plan to go full PRESS**WATCH on these guys I wish I could say I'm one one side firmly--but I don't support imperialism, so they're both my targets...even though I will of course vote Biden to stop fascism

Anyone remember the 30 years of "Press**Watch" programs, first on Sundays on KAZI (Thomas Ybarra's program added it) and then Thursday mornings on #kboo Portland? Well, that dissenter is still writing. 🧵 theresamitchell-11098.medium.com/smedley-butler… Also, she broadcasts (video-podcasts) on YouTube on a Friday morning show, with Ani Haines (of "Positively Revolting Talk Radio" also kboo for decades) at youtube.com/channel/UClqrj… #grc #kboo (🧵2)

Re: Covid: Trump sez it's China's fault and he saved millions of lives; Biden sez it's Trump's fault, 220K dead, and Biden would actually take control as Prez. Trump's trying again to bring up swine flu, as if anyone cares #Debates2020 I'm listening so you don't have to! Check out the "This is Now: Bridge to a Better World" podcast on Soundcloud, new episode tomorrow, topics: 100 million unemployed, and--welcome to the new death squad America!

I have to comment on this #HerdImmunity horror; though I am not medically educated, I have literally spent hours interviewing a major virologist on #COVID19. It will kill many, many people, and it is demonstrably unworkable. It should infuriate any thinking person. --brief thread Doubtless the Trump apologists are already saying the Swedes have tried it, but the Swedes have social buy-in from decades of wealth distribution and actual democracy. And it failed in Sweden, and would have been a disaster if not for that buy-in

Today is the first day of arguments (without witnesses or documents, in an historic Fascist First) in the Mostly Moot Impeachment Senate Trial of Donald John Trump. So I will start a new thread here. #ImpeachmentTrial Since the Repubs have set the rules so that no actual deliberations will take place, I'll tend to go a bit meta in this thread, writing of the background and intentions as well as noting whatever comes down with the gavel. #ImpeachmentDay

The Senate convenes now to try the President of the United States for impeachable offenses, namely, bribery to subvert the elections, and obstruction. #ImpeachAndRemoveTrump The Republicans, under Mitch McConnell, will now try to set rules that will ram through a quick moot court without witnesses, in an historic first and a powerful gesture towards dictatorship #ImpeachedForLife
