Donald Trump is a symptom, the puss filled abcess, the visible evidence of the cancer within ravaging our body politic. This sickness follows the veins of ignorance and greed allowed by generations of intentionally underfunded education and the failure to address our racist past.

If you’re leaving town before the freeze and will be gone when it hits, this is a no brainier. If you’ll be staying home and choose to do this, you will need to be prepared to live without running water for 1-2 days. Fill up the tub to have water on hand for flushing toilets. 5/

New on my Substack: I unwound the web of companies involved in Trump's digital trading card grift. And you won't believe where it all ends - a run down brick house associated with international criminals, fraudsters, & companies that cheated the military.

Notice that Prof. Doherty actually explains, in terms accessible to a lay person why Covid is not like the flu and why Covid is a more complex disease than the flu. He doesn't use his credentials, he doesn't say "I'm a Nobel laureate, therefore I'm right!" 1/

Unlike flu, SARS-CoV-2 gets into the blood & infects cells throughout the body. it's also a clotting disease with strokes & heart problems. Imagining COVID is 'like the flu' is cutting thousands of lives short.

Wow. Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz just got banned from Twitter after simply reaching out to Elon Musk for a comment about a story. She was given zero reason why. This should enrage anyone who cares about free speech & democracy. Elon is off the rails and it’s dangerous.

A pro-Trump police chief in Iowa was arrested for lying to the ATF to acquire 90 machine guns for a department with only 3 officers, and then reselling them for years. Bradley Wendt exploited his position as a cop to engage in the trafficking of firearms.

Wonderful thread. I’d challenge you to tweak your thinking a little. Everything you described actually derives from the historic context of Christianity. Originally Catholicism but, in recent centuries, white Anglo-Protestants and recently evangelicals. Not grinding gears

“I think we’re seeing the unwinding not of a company but of a person,” @profgalloway says of Elon Musk and Twitter. “I think this is an individual who has demonstrated a total lack of grace, has no guardrails around him, and is going to see his wealth probably cut in half.”

And here is the truth the myth hides: we will save ourselves. We don't need techno messiahs. Or cult leaders. We need to come together and reject their lies and rediscover that WE have the power and WE deserve better. That is essential and it is happening. 25/25

Despite an alarming lack of coverage, advancements like what happened at the National Ignition center show us that diligent, serious people working for the public good are better bets than any of these self-serving oligarchs. It's a myth-busting moment through and through. 24/

The "free market" cannot answer the crises of things like climate change. It can only profit off it, make it worse. But the lie that oligarchs and tech lords will get us off the planet in time are just lies. Myths. Religious faiths that buy them time and get them richer. 23/

Because neoliberalism hollowed out the government and made it a redistribution machine, it is incapable of handling all of our massive crises, leading to more and more suffering and a great feeling of loss and powerlessness. It is reaching a new, complicated crisis. 22/

This current crisis is a result of an era of neoliberal redistribution that has created historical inequality. It was always going to end in this crisis, but the lie that the wealthy should control everything has only made matters worse. Now, we're at a crossroads. 21/

We do a terrible job of understanding fascism because it scares us to realize it wasn't just a phenomenon at a certain time. It is a part of capitalism, of our white supremacist culture. And the wealthy are always just an inch or two from embracing it to save themselves. 20/

I've been watching recent events with wealthy men having public breakdowns while being radicalized and embracing the Right Wing. It is...disturbing, but not surprising. This is what history shows us. They will happily destroy democracy and hurt us to protect themselves. 19/

And here's the thing: if the wealthy were going to make that utopia a reality, it would take everything. Including backbreaking labor. Endless toil. Our children being forced into mines and factories and sacrificed to the mills and machinery. 17/

The lie of a utopic future tied to the expansion of wealth among the capitalist class continued with the industrial era, where we were told that all of our laboring and exploitation would lead to a heaven on earth. It was always just ahead. Just over the horizon. 16/

The story was this: if we just allowed the wealthy to get wealthier and hurt "lesser peoples," eventually they would deliver us to a future utopia, a heavenly place where all of our needs would be met. But it would take patience. And suffering. 15/

Constantly surrounding colonization and enslavement were religious myths like the one we're fed about the wealthy now. There was a cult and faith around what the wealthy and powerful could do if only they were allowed to exploit, murder, and enslave "lesser" peoples. 14/
