🧵Macalester College Buddhist studies professor Erik Davis and Home Health Care nurse Natasha Rakotz have been arrested and charged with domestic terrorism charges for their roles in protests against ICE in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area. The charges are ludicrous.

Claude, too. I don't know about you, but I'm finding this truly disturbing. (I try not to post links that are paywalled, so I apologize for this one - just not happy to see this today). www.wired.com/story/anthro...

How is it that 'antifa' is a huge threat but actual n@zis can march through the capitol with masks on and that's totally fine? If they are so damn proud why are they covering their faces?

So the reason I asked about the word “communism” is because the John Birch Society used it in the 60s when the Domino Theory was a thing. I was called a commie pinko as late as the mid 70s when I voted for Carter. It’s an old, tired trope and I don’t see it resonating. Others disagree.

Just had to explain who Peter Thiel is to my mother, a woman who has CNN on in her house every waking moment. Starting to think it’s a problem that men like this can just fly under the radar because their friends own the press.

As McConnell continues to recover in the hospital, we assume, Don Moynihan delivers what should be the definitive verdict on his career. #ProudBlue

Don't want to speak ill of the dead, so getting this Mitch McConnell take out now. He saw Trump with complete clarity, as a danger to America, but protected him anyway. Perhaps more than anyone, he had the power to end Trumpism, but chose party over country. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/jan-6-and-...

And yet…McConnell refused to vote to convict. Seven of his colleagues did, and with McConnell’s leadership, more would have done so, potentially enough to get to the supermajority needed. With conviction, the Senate could have also taken the vote to block Trump from running again. Doing so would have ended Trump as a political power. McConnell was clearly considering this option. In an oral history interview at the time the House was impeaching Trump, McConnell said But apparently you can impeach somebody after they leave office, and if that happens, there’s a second vote in the Senate, which only has to pass by a simple majority, that prevents that person from seeking office again. So he could not only be impeached, but also eliminated from the possibility of a comeback for this office. So it is significant. In the end, McConnell protected Trump from punishment. It was not just the refusal to vote to convict. After a swift House impeachment, he pushed to delay the Senate trial. He opposed the Senate joining in a Congressional investigation of Jan 6. He endorsed Trump in 2024, although this matters little except to further diminish McConnell’s dignity, as it was clear by this point that the Republican Party was Trump’s and McConnell’s time of influence was at an end.
