NO.
now is NOT the time to tell people not to criticize Biden. look at what he is doing for #Gaza after almost half a million #Uncommitted votes during these #primaries.
NOW IS THE TIME TO PUSH DEMOCRATS, TO THE LEFT AS HARD AS WE CAN.
Protests work.
Democrats need to be the #antifascist party, not the party of meeting the fascists in the middle.
now is the time for all democrats to act like members of an antifascist party and not as just the opposition.
It’s mind blowing that the networks give so much weight to a third rate legislator like Stefanik. She hasn’t accomplished anything except groveling in front of Donald Trump. Her integrity isn’t in question. It doesn’t exist.
The Republican plan is to only certify elections where their candidate wins. It won’t stay limited to President.
Mammoth Fav: Love democracy? So do we! Lucky for us, Indivisible joined Fediverse last September. Indivisible is a movement of more than a million members taking regular, iterative, and increasingly complex actions in pursuit of real democracy in the USA. If January 6th has you inspired to get involved, today is the perfect day to reach out to Indivisible. Elections are just around the corner!🗳️🇺🇸 #2024elections Follow: @indivisibleteam
We don't need 15 reporters (more?) per outlet doing sideline commentary on #SOTU2024. We need more journalists reporting independently on the realities of the issues that get aired in a speech like this, and explaining policy and governing in everyday terms (and on social platforms, broadcast and accessible summaries) so that when elections come around, people understand the stakes and choices. #USPol#journalism#2024Elections
LMAO what fucking enrages me about grifters like Cheetolini is that they really think we're stupid.
this fascistfuck really thinks that by saying "i would never ever sign a federal abortion ban, for reals!, cross my heart and hope to die" that we really do not wish the "hope to die" part ALSO.
fuck this dude and fuck every gringo de mierda who think they're better than us.
So #Trump is disqualified from running for office under Sec 3 of the #14thAmendment. The question is: who enforces that? Red States won't, so he won't lose those electoral votes. In Blue states who don't put him on their ballots, the point is moot, since he wouldn't get their electoral votes anyway.
if you're gonna vote in the #California Democratic Party #primary, pick Katie Porter for US Senate.
she'll be Robin to her actual law school professor, Elizabeth Warren and they both will go cape crusading against the Wall Street mafia, first and foremost, kicking the entrenched kleptocracy at the SEC.
and yes, this is the very rare heart-felt endorsement of a Democratic Party candidate.
In a @nbcnews article, @zadrozny interviewed @uwcip research scientist @mikecaulfield and writes: "The delay in catching false narratives early is essentially giving disinformation a head start, Caulfield said, and could mean a delay in fact-checking efforts and context from journalists."
This is not about religion in general as the headline indicates, but primarily about Christianity (why are the two so often conflated?) and White Christian Nationalism.
Anyway, I’d forgotten this doozy:
“In spring of 2023, 26 members of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee refused to sign a letter denouncing white supremacy.”
In case you missed the @uwcip rapid research blog post from last week with observations about election rumors around the New Hampshire primary: "Despite the relative 'quiet' of intra-party rumor during this primary, the engagement with these extra-party narratives, 10 months before the general election, signal a group of supporters eager — and perhaps impatient — to rerun the claims and tropes of the 2020 election."
You really can't parody the #NewYorkTimes' framing of every national issue through its horse-race lens and obsession with handicapping the 2024 presidential election. This myopia distorts coverage (presidents don't control inflation) and misses the chance at broader, more accurate and more contextual coverage on all kinds of issues. #journalism#2024Elections#USPol
Republicans hate Girls and Women - they have already bent the laws to be able to murder us and disappear us. They are now making it legal to humiliate and torture us. There is no love - and there is nothing redeemable - in a man who would be ok with this assault, subjugation, and physical abuse of Girls and Women. Girls and Women aren't vessels to club and claim caveman style. We aren't vessels to impregnate and imprison. We are autonomous beings with fundamental human rights to self determine. And: whether raped or not--> Abortion is healthcare! Ps.Men speak up for us.

One of the primary ways that false election rumors take shape is through misinterpretations and/or mischaracterizations of “real” evidence. A recent tweet thread about anomalies in Washington state voter registration demonstrates two dimensions of those misinterpretations.
today's #SCOTUS decision is dictatorship-by-law but without republicans’ dream unitary executive. all they need is a secessionist, neoconfederate POTUS and the coup is complete.
so, no: voting against Trump in november isn't all there is to it. the popular vote doesn’t elect a POTUS.
strategic votes in the right ELECTORAL COLLEGE PRECINTS get a president elected.
it's how republicans, who have controlled the Supreme Court since Reagan, have used SCOTUS & the EC to steal elections.
VOTER SUPPRESSION
of Black & PoC isn't the only #2024Elections issue
VOTER SUPPRESSION OF YOUNG VOTERS
is the biggest issue come November
#Zillennials, young Millennials and all of GenZ are browner and blacker and more radicalised against USA’s cryptofascist mainstream politics than all previous generations.
Pew even found white christofascist Gen Zers will vote against Trump and Republicans on issues like climate change.
#GenZ VOTER SUPPRESSION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTORAL ISSUE OF 2024

A year straight of falling inflation has made Republican arguments against 'Bidenomics' way less convincing.
