Getting to the point where sharing any personally IDing info on the Bird at all is getting pretty dangerous. Please secure your account, ask for your archive and only use non-Bird comms and if you can't, throwaway emails if you can.

We joke around a lot here about this dumb bird and its overfinanced hillbilly-fabulous new owner but the possibilities of real life consequences increase with more stopgap people leaving staff.

@Mrmusicfan82 I don't use a news app. I use a combination of social media and wherever there is footage of actual political activity (live feeds, politicians' own posts, C-SPAN type stuff, etc.). I check out experts in different fields and try to find what their biases are (no one is unbiased) and then structure what I perceive is going on from there.

@ArcturusSaDiablo Awright. What's a solution then?

@RunningResister I'm so sorry. The blue team nationwide needs to start investing in help. I'm all for election observers, outposts in surrounding nonfascists States, etc. We as a nation are just not helping the sensible people there enough.

There needs to be some sort of refugee relocation/quality of life aid program available to Texans escaping or living in system-assisted autocratic oppression.

I am not joking. I am dead serious. I do not mean this to be funny.

@hunkthunderzone @Russ_Hjelm I consider myself progressive (even a Dem socialist) and I think that's bonkers. I definitely don't accept "go along to get along" sentiments such as these as a hallmark of progressivism.

@Cosmichomicide Makes sense. I'd choose Adam Kinsinger for Speaker, but I'll never cheer for them like this...and still don't want ANY OF THEM in line for the Presidency.

Like none.

Zero.

@Russ_Hjelm @hunkthunderzone Here.

it's palm-right-through-the face out here today 🤦‍♂️

@hunkthunderzone And Rubin's screen name has PRO PRIVACY in it

I want to smash my palm right THROUGH my face.

@Catman720 😢 RIP 🍎🔨

(fixed typos.)

On Liz Cheney:

It's disturbing how many Dems think Liz's battle with Trump is over ideals and not intensely, malignantly personal.

Her battle IS PERSONAL. It is not ideal. She just happens to be completely right this time.

So no. Stop. Stop mentioning her. Stop idealizing her. Stop giving ANY of these misogynists a free platform.

She will absolutely turn right around and endanger or kill people with "pro-life" laws.

@WeThePeople The typo in this toot makes perfect sense along with the intended original word.

This is why Dems don't win unless the fascists literally roflstomp all over us and trip over each other to the bank...because they're fantastic at understanding human nature and fffkin' around with every system possible, and traditional Dem leadership isn't.

@Reincarnation_2 lots of people locally have many, many hoods in their closet and not because it's November.

A lot even wear hoods in the summertime.
