I just read a book by @A_SHEKH0VTS0V that convinced me the situation is even more dire than I expected.
In Russia and the Far West, he makes the argument this has been a long time coming. amazon.com/Russia-Western…
It’s not just about #TrumpRussia, or the #GrandOldPutinParty ... it goes back a century.
The authoritarian leaders in the world are trying to condition the public to accept authoritarian rule of any sort. They are succeeding. This was truly a frightening read.

My thoughts on this whole Kavanaugh debacle.

Brett Kavanaugh does not belong on the Supreme Court. He’s a partisan hack in a way no SC Justice has ever been. Not only did he involve himself in the Vince Foster conspiracy bs during the Clinton years but he literally represented
the Bush campaign in the 2000 Election Debacle and he also wrote the torture memos - and lied about it.

He has also stated in the past that presidents shouldn’t be indicted, and has some severe dubious Russia connections.

Kavanaugh doesn’t belong in the court because of his views on presidential power.

Kavanaugh doesn’t belong in the court because of raging partisanship and involvement in torture, the 2000 recount, and Clinton’s impeachment
Kavanaugh doesn’t belong in the court because of his mysterious financial issues.
Kavanaugh doesn’t belong in the court because of Merrick Garland .

I find the idea of “coastal elites” to be a completely bullshit made up idea. You can’t tell me that elitism is limited to people who border oceans, or that to know the “real America” you need to spend time in a state like Kansas.
I’ve lived within 50 miles of Boston my entire life, in five cities/towns and I’ve experienced such a cross section of different groups of people that It’s silly to lump them all together
There are dying mill cities reminiscent of anything you’d see in the Midwest littered all over New England. You go there, you find communities rife with drugs, poverty, and people feeling abandoned.

Thread: #TrumpRussia there’s something rotten in #Ohio politics.

I believe that a foreign agent is trying to get elected to the position of Montgomery County Recorder.

My biggest question is: Why Ohio? why Dayton?
He’s been identified as being involved in the Azerbaijani laundromat, receiving $250k from the government days after he was elected to the Dayton school board.

Does he even have kids?occrp.org/en/azerbaijani…

Two weeks ago I speculated that Columbia Gas will not be done fixing the gas explosions until Thanksgiving.

On Friday, they agreed with me.

This is going to become a humanitarian crisis VERY VERY quickly.

They’re already talking about giving hot plates and space heaters to people to get them through it. wcvb.com/article/hot-pl…
They’re also saying they’re going to reimburse the costs of switching to a different source, which is expensive.

The document makes it VERY clear they customers effected by the gas explosions will be reimbursed for reasonable costs. columbiagas.com/docs/libraries…

Thread: I once went to the police to report an Identity theft committed against me by a close member of my family.

The cop spent 20 min bullying me and basically calling me an asshole until I agreed to say that I did not know who committed the crime.

I’m an affluent white male.
Now imagine for a second you’re a woman, and someone sexually assaulted you.

Or you’re a minority and someone stole something from you.

Or or or.

This is why rape is underreported. This is why Kavanaugh was not arrested 35 years ago.
I’ve said before that I’m pretty moderate.

What I haven’t said is that white male privilege never really made sense to me until this whole kavanaugh bs.

Now I get it.

Stop shaming a victim who was afraid to report a crime because the system is biased against her.
