3. It's too bad that many of us that might want to recommend can't - musk's twitter is blocked.

If you can do a twitter reader unroll, that would be great.

5. May be a tickie-tockie repost but it is referenced via the twitter link.

Any time you can get closer to the source material and post those links would be helpful. So much online is now just links to links to links, etc.

DU still seems pretty real so I don't mind linking to it!

8. well i figure tictok is no better.

i get it. but there’s still voices there i support. it’s the advertisers that pay for the clicks and they’re leaving in droves.
i’m watching it circle the drain. i’m more skeptical now. but i follow good ppl.

6. Too many people ignore the efficacy of voter suppression years after years of it.

7. File under, "will anything come of it?"

9. This is why I've posted many times that before Dems pass ANY LAWS they MUST fix voter suppression!

Forget health care, equal rights, gun control, MAKE IT A FELONY TO KEEP A QUALIFIED AMERICAN CITIZEN FROM VOTING, and put the people who do it in prison.
After that, everything else will take care of itself, the WILL OF THE PEOPLE will be done.
I wish I wish I wish this had been the #1 item on Obama's agenda, they could have passed something BEFORE they went on to Obamacare, the right has now had way too many years to perfect their art of suppression.

10. Voting rights will deteriorate in some places until there is no choice at all.

And, if the masses of oppressed voters in a particular state don’t rise up, then people in blue states can’t help them? Help which probably wouldn’t come anyway because Americans will not be inconvenienced in order to save voting rights or, their environment, or women’s rights… and so on.

Some will argue but, peaceful direct action on a massive scale, in conjunction with leadership and backing of every progressive congress critter, until there is movement, is the only hope of seeing the issues which the majority of Americans support implemented.

12. ya know, marc alias has called on the blue states to pass model voting laws

so he has something to point at when he argues.
i’m disappointed this isnt happening. even blue states have a few sketchy practices.

11. Heritage was the source of 60% of Reagan's policies -- anti-commie, neoconservative,

pro-Christian, anti-worker, anti-climate.
Heritage (1973)developed Newt Gringrich's contract on America. Heritage produced Scott Pruitt, Betsy DeVos, Mick Mulvaney, Rick Perry, Jeff Sessions, Jim DeMint, Chad Wolf, Ken Cuccinelli, Mark Morgan, and Mike Pence.
It's been partnered up with the State Policy Network,(1992) funded by Koch and his billionaire network.
SPN's corporate funded by Facebook, Microsoft, AT&T, Time Warner Cable, Verizon, Comcast, and Searle.
Its members are partnered up with ALEC, started and funded the Tea Party.

Now, its think tank network of richies, corporate funders are now adding all their reactionary work to statehouse white supremacist anti-democratic minority rule.

Glad they're being monitored, even hacked, but these networks are too longstanding and formidable to joke about.

16. Yep. And in recent years, with the rise of Trumpism, Heritage has gone overtly fash.

Once upon a time, they published huge tomes of (admittedly bullshit) policy, and at least had a veneer of intellectual respectability. Now they're on YouTube and other social media, making the same kind of crappy alt-right programming that PragerU cranks out daily. At some point in the last few years, the Heritage Foundation decided to embrace overt fascism and Trumpism.

13. Ok, this sucks, but is any of it illegal?

Heritage and ALEC have been writing shit laws for decades.

[mopinko]

14. well, i'd assume they do more than chat.

the smell of corruption oozes through this vid. i have no doubt laws have been broken here.
from bribery to violation of open meetings laws to…
tho it wouldnt surprise me if they managed to skirt the law.
