Necessary Evil

Here to avoid Elon ‘Seeping Anus of Disinformation’ Muskolini and his endless childish horseshit. The sheep are those who believe any of it is about ‘free speech’.

The meeting was a disaster for everyone except two people. Trump got his photo op and his ego boost. Putin got his photo op, whitewashing of war crimes and no sanctions. No one in Ukraine, Europe or the United States benefited in any way.

Trump literally had uniformed active duty soldiers on their hands and knees rolling out the red carpet for a genocidal dictator who has killed millions of people around the world the last 26 years. America has fallen.

History and Article IV’s Guarantee Clause makes clear that a state’s governor cannot remove members of the legislature. No governor has ever claimed such power. It runs against the full history of Texas and American democracy as a whole. open.substack.com/pub/democrac...

Governors Can Not Remove Elected Legislators. Period.

A democracy must have an independent legislature. Only voters elect and unelect representatives.

A teenage 4channer was beat up by two 15 year olds in DC, which was spotted and quickly stopped by nearby police. He told his friends, the richest man in the world and the Vice President of the United States, that he was pummeled by a dozen adult Romanians. A week later, Trump federalized DC police.

LEFT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has a tattoo in honor of a family member. RIGHT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has facilitated and/or engaged in the sexual assault of over a thousand children.

Once upon a time, Woodward and Bernstein/Watergate made a young girl want to study journalism in graduate school and pursue it as a career. (I spent 6 years in radio news before pivoting full time to screenwriting.) I can't fathom that this is happening. That people are letting it happen.

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda. This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

The Texas Dems are providing a test for all of us. They're trying to prove we want this democracy to work more than Trump wants it to fail. That we can outlast him and outwork him. No matter where you live in PA, you can help door-knock etc till we flip these 4 seats.
