@WarnerCrocker I would make a joke about the gold being transported to Mar-A-Lago, but I’m terrified that may actually be what’s happening.

@augieray I understand the Democratic Party isn’t perfect, and never will be.

But I don’t understand refusing to vote, refusing to donate, advocate or volunteer. I don’t understand believing the solution lies in a fictional third party with no political power or infrastructure, that cannot become larger than the Republican prior to the next election.

If people believe the current regime is sliding towards fascism, then they should show up at the opposing party’s door and start pitching in.

@tuban_muzuru @benroyce I know it’s pessimistic, but I think Putin will only leave office when he dies of old age. There were people saying he would fall years ago. It keeps not happening.

@tante AI isn’t being created to help people. It’s being leveraged by rich people in an attempt to stop paying workers.

@DemocracyMattersALot I don’t think they’re gonna.

I know that is pessimistic sounding, but it just seems intensely unlikely that Congress will prevent Trump from taking office. Republicans control the house and the Senate has been deadlocked for years.

Jeff Bezos probably doesn't care if you cancel your subscription to the Washington Post.

The founder of the Center for Election Innovation & Research is hopeful that Georgia can withstand the Trump cult's efforts to rig the election.

@tomiahonen #trump doesn’t do things that are smart, or make sense.

I wonder if maybe he will just keep Vance, continue to lie about his polling, and rely on his Republican thugs in state government to rig the vote for him. Marc Elias has been warning us about this possibility.

@shoq Taibbi and other bottom feeders often fail to explain how other countries have avoided problems that America has, like gun violence.

But we know why and how (pssst, it usually involves laws and regulations)
