Who is he talking to? The one person sitting behind him who is mentally practicing her C-Span live speech to an empty chamber?

He's a Republican, is the one productive thing he wants to do absolutely appalling?

If a Republican wants to do something brave, call out their own election denying leadership. Say openly that Trump is a dangerous, self centered, maniac. Say that wealth does not denote morality. Say the most obvious thing that needs to be said.

Elon Musk is a bigot (in fact, he is a third generation bigot).

If that's not clear by now, then you're not paying attention.

OK, the grace period is over. If you're still using #Twitter, you're an evil, #Jew-hating #antisemite. Why? Because there's no daylight between one who openly espouses #antisemitic views, and one who passively supports antisemitic #platforms and power-structures. By remaining on Twitter, you are saying that you're OK with the #bigoted #rhetoric that defines the platform. You're saying that #antisemitism isn't a deal-breaker for you. And that's pathetic.

Polls Schmolls:

Remember the 2016 presidential election, when republicans lied to pollsters to throw off the polls?

I’m getting tired of MSNBC pushing the narrative that Biden is unpopular among democrats.

Yes, he’s too old, but you certainly can’t blame corporate America’s rampant price gouging on democrats or Biden. Reckless spending and one-way capitalism has been a republican agenda for decades.

Over spending, tax cuts and lack of IRS accountability for the rich, endless profits on the backs of both American and Chinese workers, special interest group favors, pandering, and corruption, is all from the GOP playbook.

So is blaming democrats for everything wrong, while denying their own accountability.

Democrats who actually vote, instead of just shooting off their mouths or complaining, will vote for the alternative to Trump.

Right now, that’s Joe Biden.

End of story.

Republicans will vote for the alternative to truth, even if he’s in jail!

Ain’t it weird that the same people who scream “First Amendment” are the ones who want to ban books they don’t like and also want a national religion.

Safety-security concerns behind cancellation of showing of Jewish-made documentary critical of Israel at Hunter #College in NYC; #faculty, #students and staff call cancellation a violation of academic freedom, #FreeSpeech #FirstAmendment. Officials say film will be shown later. nytimes.com/2023/11/16/arts/is

Undecided voters, ask yourselves how happy you’d be living in an actual dictatorship where you could go to jail for saying the wrong thing. A republic without democracy is like Viktor Orban’s Hungary, a one party state where power is always controlled by a small group of oligarchs. Trump has stated that he wants to repress his enemies and form a police state perpetually under martial law, Biden would never do that. If you love democracy and don’t want to lose it for good, then vote for Biden.

BREAKING: Massachusetts has just adopted a new law today to make phone calls from prison and jails free.

In fact, it'd also wipe charges for other forms of communication between incarcerated ppl & their loved ones.

2/ A reply someone got when they disagreed with the👇🏼 account below (after the one below replied w "Free speech is important" to my above toot):

"yeah, all I've got are these two stupid law degrees... Please tell me about constitutional law and what Donald Trump did that makes it so, so obvious that the protections of the first amendment no longer apply to him."

I'm no lawyer, but my understanding is, when your speech endangers lives, you get gag ordered.
