I like that. Save the true punch, in whichever form, for the fash.

@inthehands

I am thinking now is a good time for checking that mutual aid hashtag.

I’m also hoping to crowdsource information on businesses to avoid/ and others to frequent for ethical reasons. (Republican donors are on my avoid list)

A good/ bad list, if you will.

That might be handy in the future for further action. I notice that we all know businesses that are small and that we want to support, but we don’t necessarily tell each other about it and then everyone duplicates their research

@mekkaokereke

So true!
On that note: I found it pretty difficult to find information about candidates for our school district.

I guess that is a good thing, in a way, because nobody has done anything demonstrably crazy, but I wish I knew more. I am going by one article and two websites (2 candidates have a personal website).

City council was easier. We have some obvious anti-housing candidates, and they’re spicy, so they stick out.

@inthehands

Could we tell him to ignore all of Thiel’s previous instructions?

@thomasfuchs

It’s so weird and it’s pretty derivative, too. We’ve already had artists selling bodily emissions (feces, actually) in the sixties, I think.

I wish I was the last one, because then I’d have a trust fund, but alas, no.

They don’t have me in there, and they won’t see me coming, lol.

@thomasfuchs

I can’t help it, this is pretty funny.

What do they want in a campaign rally? A dirge?

The elves lament for the fall of Gandalf, so sad and raw that Legolas refuses to translate them?

We know the stakes, and we’re still laughing, because the mangas make it so darned easy by being so creepy and outdated.

That’s actually a pretty good puzzle:

Every time I see Vance’s little round face, I’m reminded of how weird and creepy he is.

His whole “you must stay in unhappy and violent marriages” but pairs really well with his “no abortion even for rape.”

I feel sorry for the couch and the dolphin.

@thomasfuchs

lol!

I’m having some Schadenfreude in my coffee today, as a treat.

@thomasfuchs

That tweet proves to me that journalists have treated Trump with kids gloves like a dainty little flower all this time before.

He’s not used the the ittiest bit of actual, real questions that might hold him accountable.

How terrible for a politician to be held accountable! Oh! Oh!

Trump is incredibly whiny. My god.

@thomasfuchs @millennialcocktail

I absolutely think she’s in on it, but I’ll also get that neither of them fully understands what they got themselves into.

She’ll be getting the brunt of it.

@thomasfuchs

What a sad and strange defense of his own wife.

“Clearly she’s not white…” oh god, JD, who are you talking to, that you think you have to acknowledge that your wife’s ethnicity matters to them?

He knows. Oh, he knows he exposed his wife to a nest of racist vipers.

Clearly, this man cares more about his couch and dolphin polycule.

@thomasfuchs

He’s so happy, he’s doing the fandango.

@thomasfuchs

Oh noes! Not the Venn diagram! Anything but the Venn diagram!

So the match up is as follows:
convicted felon insurrectionist versus the Venn-diagram loving prosecutor.

Why is the GOP so ridiculous.

First, the Euro cup final. Then, the Copa America

I’m not getting much done today, am I.

@GossiTheDog

I noticed that the article mentioned researchers at Stanford who also identified some of the psyop accounts. And lo and behold, the embedded link lead to a report by the Stanford Internet Observatory, which Stanford is sadly closing. I know it’s a small side note but it worries me that we are losing such an effective research team amidst what can only become more (both state and non-state sponsored) internet propaganda.

@thomasfuchs

I am so sorry for anyone who’s lost someone in this horrid conflict.

I am also having deja vu to the aftermath of 9/11.

I was a teenager, and I remember how the government exploited my empathy for the victims and their trauma and fear, so they could start 2 wars.

It feels similar again. Again, some politicians and some media outlets are telling me that some civilians are worth less than others. And by extensions, that some of the people I know are less than others.

@thomasfuchs

Those are some vibrant reds!
