The second sentence: BINGO Musk, too, with SpaceX, etc. That second sentence is also the libertarian sutra.

That Vance is a direct line to Thiel and Andreessen is truly important. Trump wants their money. Thiel wants to sell billions in Palantir contracts to power Trump’s mass surveillance/ethnic cleansing infrastructure. Pence was the Christian Nationalists’ guy. Vance is reactionary capital’s.

True. But—It’s at least a look at what can happen when we don’t roll over and take it.

If you are feeling hopeless and inclined to defeatism — STOP AND READ this. Never give up before the end, don’t roll over and let them win. France is a lesson in beating the far right: #politics #stopthegop #endfascism 🗃️ www.tumblr.com/always-coffe...

It's over and the left are in the lead!www.tumblr.com Something really amazing happened in France, and I think it'd help us in the US to learn about it. Forgive the long read, but I think this is genuinely great both because of what happened and how. S…

Lost in the ongoing Trumpapalooza is the excellent news that a malaria vaccination developed at Oxford Univ. over the last 30 years and costing only £3 per shot is being unrolled in malaria-prone countries. If it fulfills its promise, this will make an enormous difference to so many lives.

In that speech I went to, he claimed his experience growing up where we lived (white lower middle class Appalachia) was comparable to an inner city impoverished Black boy’s life—and thus *they* should pull themselves up like him and go to Yale. I basically got up and explained all the NOPE.

I don’t know; @killermartinis.bsky.social documented a lot of it on twitter back in the day (it’s how we bonded)

Missouri is going full steam ahead to murder an innocent person

Please sign the petition demanding his execution be revoked. The DNA evidence exonerated Marcellus Williams but the Missouri Supreme Court does not care. go.pardot.com/webmail/9101...

BREAKING update in Marcellus Williams casego.pardot.com

Oooo thanks!

For real. (I snuck into an honorary dinner for the purpose of rumbling him, as I grew up not far away. He panicked and wouldn’t answer —and I got the audience to laugh—and he ran away.)

True. In my other thread was just talking about the time he ran away from me because I asked scary questions

Thank you :) I grew up not far from him & lots of what he said in his book was bunk, so I called attention to this at a big dinner where he was the honorary speaker. I *may* have been a plant of sorts—a lone liberal who got her ticket via a friend in business for the express purpose of rumbling him

There were photos — but I can’t find them online now. Mostly me pointing at him with a disappointed boss / gotcha look on my face. He does not know how to think on his feet, cannot take criticism, and is a coward imho

I once chased him from a room by asking questions that made people laugh at him

The right way to celebrate your 24th wedding anniversary (in a ruin on a mountain outside Woodstock). We had a great day, and really love the town and it’s welcome of us queer-trending folk. We met 26 years ago in August.

Today we drove to a Tibetan monetary, then hiked to the ruins of a turn of the century hotel crumbling on Overlook Mountain (NY), then onward to the fire lookout tower for the view.

“Judges must recuse from cases where the President who appointed them is a defendant” seems like a perfectly cogent rule that should have been in the constitution from the beginning

I read your book and thoroughly enjoyed it; have also read both of Nita Prose's books (The Maid, and The Mystery Guest). Would recommend all three to anyone! (They made me feel seen. :) )

Yay!

He claims immigrants don’t enrich our country wtf; he wants a country without immigrants. EVERYONE not indigenous here arrived via immigration. Ps: VANCE is a Scottish surname. Derived from the word for ‘marshland’ which makes sense since he has never stood on solid ground.

I oppose this worldview—this theory of America—with every fiber of my being.

Hi! I’m a #nonbinary #autistic author, historian, occasional TV personality—and this year I published a novel with an autistic protagonist. I am presently working on a thriller with a non-binary protagonist. www.washingtonpost.com/books/2024/0...

These mystery novels are changing how we see autistic womenwww.washingtonpost.com Recent stories by Brandy Schillace, Nita Prose and Brendan Slocumb push back against old stereotypes about life on the spectrum.

I live in Ohio and in the US and apparently JD. Vance learned no history in his years of elite education at Yale. I learned how immigrants made the US in my public school classrooms.

This is the way.

Senate Dems should take one of their assorted gun control bills off the shelf, rename it something like "Trump Assassination Prevention Act," and force Rs to do a talking filibuster to block it
