Probably the best thing you'll see today. In 2017, a group of developers hilariously competed for who could create worst volume control interface in the world. The results 🧵 1/22

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on... Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

There is more than enough public information to confidently assess Governor Ron Desantis's character, intentions, and his approach to governance. The press is treating him like an ordinary candidate, when he is anything but. DeSantis is a small, thin-skinned demagogue who has shown nothing but contempt for democratic norms and the lives of Floridians. If he was ever elected president, he would use the federal government as a blunt force object against perceived enemies. He engages in the most destructive acts of performative sadism just to appeal to the worst among us. DeSantis would bring ruin to this nation.

This is me on January 6, 2021 and my uncle Dude Bachom just before he was shot down by Nazis on December 10, 1942. I was 76 and he was 19. I never thought I would see fascism take hold here. I was wrong. I’m really scared for our country.

This is what leadership looks like.
America must reject the GOP’s dangerous nihilism about the impossibility of separating truth from lies, a derangement brought on by Donald Trump but now infecting their whole party. Our system of democratic governance rests on truth and facts—not lies and conspiracy theories.

When do you want to take the threat of Republican fascism seriously, before or after Republicans seize control of the government & suspend the Constitution?

Walgreens’ corporate cowardice is unconscionable—a dangerous disservice to women’s health care. It’s likely to be a net money loser in the long run & cost steeply in credibility & brand value. It’s putting profits over people. Like many others, I’ll shop elsewhere.
Walgreens said that it will not distribute the abortion pill mifepristone in 21 states, a few weeks after Republican attorneys general in those states sent letters threatening legal action against retail pharmacy chains if they dispensed the pill there. nyti.ms/3ZKcYnX

🇦🇶Antarctic summer (Dec-Feb) sea-ice area was ~1,300,000 square kilometers below average. That's a lot of additional open water available to absorb additional heat from the sun.

You have no right to a gun. You are not a militia. When you’re talking about your second amendment rights you’re talking about a states right to have what is today the national guard. The modern interpretation of 2A is a ridiculous fraud pushed for decades by the gun lobby.

Important and well worth reading through to the end. This is the long game.
I don’t want to oversell it, but what you are about to read may be the most important thread I have written. We need to talk about Article 5…No, not NATO… 🧵👇🏻

What would you say if I told you there was a state in Germany (which also has a federal system in which education is largely in the hands of the sixteen states) that was effectively outlawing the teaching of any critical reading and discussion of Germany’s history and present?

The white residents of the Villages who voted twice got fines while 20 black people in the same state were arrested for voting illegally when they were legally registered. There’s two justice systems in Florida. clickorlando.com/news/local/…

In April 2016, I broke the story of Trump and Putin, using Russian open sources. Afterwards, I heard vague intimations that something was awry in the FBI in New York, specifically counter-intelligence and cyber. We now have a suggestion as to why. 0/20
