Hate speech is a way of dominating & monopolizing the conversation:
- It removes the possibility of polite, congenial dialogue.
- No productive discussion can happen until it is removed, b/c one party is only *pretending* to be there for dialog but is only there for broadcasting.

Hate speech is a weapon being used to shut down political discourse -- under the guise of promoting it.
It's a kind of false flag operation -- a strategy of war disguising itself as "legitimate political discourse."

Putin and the American right-wing are using the exact same tactics -- and this is no accident. It's not a coincidence Elonely Muskrat is carrying water for Russian dictators and oligarchs -- the right-wing as an ideological movement is now global.

I think it's way past time we corrected the record, and stopped legitimizing the dangerous and extreme beliefs of the religious right. They are NOT "pro-life", and I don't know how much more death it will take for the whole country to realize that.

The efforts to protect people and their private data, or even educate the public on how and what kinds of data are collected by smart phones, and who that data is shared with, have been stunningly underwhelming...like a lot of things.
Yes! Thank You, @JeremyTN64 for being the example that proves this point! Itās doable we all see the efforts of Jeremy are proving the points I am making after seeing 4 spots, not just as uncontested Republicans for DA & Judges, with 0 candidates in District 11 all together.
So to recap from yesterday. #GOTV #EarlyVoting is here. Pick your pick for #governor. Rally behind @Campbell4TN, myself, Carson, @AD5NL, @JeremyTN64, as well as our D neighbors as (I), & the only mayor candidate that doesnāt scream self absorbed or here to help Butt.
Speaking of David Carson though, this isnāt a message for David to put out there, but it is a good 1 for @MauryCountyDems to discuss with our fellow #MauryCountians. We have a unique opportunity #HD71 gives us the chance to have 2 #StateReps from Maury County.
#EarlyVoting starts today, & I got to do something surreal, which was see my name on this ballot. Takeaways from my trip to #GOTV.
Butt is even more dishonest than we already thought (trailers included) as the self proclaimed āproven Republican leadershipā candidate is an (I)?

Baker is not a serious candidate, he is trying to help Butt by attempting to siphon off from Charlie Norman.
How we fail as a party is by allowing so many offices to go unopposed. We need more people to step up and run for office to bring balance to the ballots.
How we fail as a party is by allowing so many offices to go unopposed. We need more people to step up and run for office to bring balance to the ballots.
This starts at the fact there were just no listed candidates for a field w/any distinction. @MauryCountyDems after this election cycle we need to have a serious look at ourselves to figure out a plan to increase our party listings on the ballot for 2024. Weāre in all districts
The link from @thedailyherald & conversation in @AD5NLās š§µ I understand, but I want to know from @MauryGOP followers on this. Does it bother you that the Mayor made a grandstanding gesture for some bogus fundraising quotes delaying @MauryCoSchools budget for the upcoming year
Just to fundraise off of something he knows can be overturned with a simple majority? Are you okay being used as a prop for his campaign as Andy demonstrates that he doesnāt care about the issues, and Andy refused to give an explanation on the actual issues inside the budget?
Has Andy ever shown that he cares for anything besides Andy? Ask yourself those questions as we enter Early voting.
š§µ1/ This #IndependenceDay, letās talk about how to keep our democracy. This is not hyperbolicāright *NOW* the GOP is enacting an *ongoing* coup 50+ years in the making. #53PickUp #VoteBlue
2/ Odds are you donāt have a strong understanding of US civics because our government didnāt *WANT* you to understand it. The GOPās most reliable voting block are uneducated whites. They want it easier to dupe voters with diversions & propaganda. š§µ:
3/ Itās also easier to fool people into thinking the Democrats are purposely or incompetently messing things up if your audience doesnāt know how civics works. The GOP & enemy countries have massive & effective propaganda networks to turn public opinion.
For the first time in my life I felt unsafe doing #GOTV & got personally targeted & my photo posted on a QAnon type site.
More appalling was how many on #healthcare & #academia, if you are connected on social media like FB, are pro-violence & anti-rule of law & support J6.

/1 4/17/22 UPDATE - DOJ IS #DOINGSOMETHING š§µ: Litigator here. Iām a bit mystified by the defeatism and non-stop #DoSomethingGarland which seems to rear its head even when progress is made.
/2 REALITY CHECK: Trump et al. could get thrown in jail tomorrow and it would not change the fact that the GOP is laser-focused on overturning election results by co-opting state officials & passing voter suppression laws.
/3 WE GOTTA #GOTV: We have to put our energy into winning elections and that means all of us. Instead of hand-wringing and despairing, sign up to GOTV and get voters registered - we have primaries going on right now and we need to get Dem voters focused.

Those of us with immigrant backgrounds have NO idea what debt we owe these women for risking their lives so some of us can shop at Whole Foods with other suburban moms, then drive a Lexus home to ride on a Peloton, & think only our own hard work created this access to success.
Those of us who are Muslim have a partial experience of what it is like to be made the face of threat and danger and vilified.
ā¦But āthe West āstill wants to āsaveā Muslim womenā¦ make us a token or mascot of saviorism & evidence of being a shining city on the hill.

In comparison, the black woman doesnāt have that opportunity to be paraded around as the most recent woman āsavedā & celebrated - the tropes are universally harmful & exploitative/pejorative vs Black women in society/media + centuries of economic barriers/being exploited.

Just stop these tiny violins. As a woman of color who lost my mother to the pandemic, as a licensed physician, and as a public servant, I can say it is EXACTLY women like Dr. Birx who drive out women like me from āherā turf & prematurely end the lives of women like my mother.
