Increasingly convinced that this is all a misbegotten nightmare or cruel prank. Any pronouns are cool.

    NEW: ’s company charges Trump’s own Secret Service agents while they protect him — at rates as high as $650/night for a room and $17,000/month for a cottage. Taxpayers pay.

    I went to an obscure hearing today in the Danish Parliament. It blew my mind, not because of the substance, but because the US Congress has totally warped my view of hearings. And I’m just dorky enough to do a thread about it. 1

    Now, the format of the caucus invites a lot of stalemates and deadlocks and ties, especially in a polarized race with like eight candidates and a lot of small satellite caucuses with small numbers of participants. Flipping a coin is one solution; abolishing caucuses is better.

    TL;DR - Abolish caucuses. And if you love Bernie and want him to win, then for the love of all things holy and most things that aren't, learn some political gamecraft, teach it to your fellow travelers, try to integrate it into his campaign if you're working with them.

    You can think it's great that Bernie is an outsider who doesn't play the typical power games but some of those games are essential to winning over (voters/delegates). I like him on policy but this vulnerability hampers him, constantly.

    It’s annoying that we have robots that can kill people but not robots that can do our laundry.

    *My doctor, pointing to a sheet of numbers* So this is your total delegate equivalents, we have to break it down into parts. Here's your tridelegate count, you divide it by five. Now this guy? That's your good delegates, you want that number to be high. This is your bad delegates

    From the archives: After acquittal Clinton said he was “profoundly sorry” for his actions & the “great burden they have imposed on the Congress...” Taking care not to hint of vindication, he offered a subdued plea “to rededicate ourselves to the work of serving our nation....” 1/

    Wait....I see some people are mad Warren said black women are pushing her on policy? Uhhhhhh that’s what’s supposed to happen. Any white candidate needs to demonstrate that they can listen and evolve when pushed. She speaks like someone who has listened to those black women.

    I'm kind of obsessed with this because the way we teach US history is completely in denial about how a big chunk of "traditional family farming" was actually straight-up medieval feudalism. And we've been in denial about it for a long time.

    This is exactly right. Eventually, it'll be individuals.

    If you first convince the gullible peasants that there's a monster roaming the countryside, you can get rich selling torches and pitchforks. That's who Fox News is. 2/2

    THEY aren't stupid at all. Rather, they profit from stupid people. And the easiest and most effective way to separate stupid people from money is hate and outrage. And so, they are in the business of hate and outrage. The hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug.

    Holy shit. DHS canceled New York state residents' enrollment and re-enrollment in Global Entry, TSA PreCheck, Nexus, etc. as retribution for the state's sanctuary laws. Announced on state media, aka, the Tucker Carlson show. Dystopian.

    5. Also, stochastic terrorism works because there is a media culture invested in translating Trump's threatening language into something normal. illustrates how it is done:

    4. The beauty of stochastic terrorism is that you have plausible deniability. "Sure, I said somebody should do something about Schiff but I didn't order him beaten up." And it has effect.

    2. A lot of the discussion of Trump's authoritarianism has the model of 20th century dictatorships: armed agents of the state rounding up people. And that's happened to immigrants under Trump. But there's also the more modern innovation of stochastic terrorism.

    1. I think we need to start discussing this stuff as stochastic terrorism: the stirring up of animosity to increase the statistical likelihood of violence. In other words: "will no one give me retribution against this turbulent congressman?"

    7yo: I don't think the Republicans thought this through. Me: No, they didn't. 7yo: What can we do? Me: Remember. Remember that the Republicans did the wrong thing. Because one day they'll lie and make you try to forget.
