For once in Missouri, we have a nearly united legislature, with both parties calling on Greitens to go.

Instead, Greitens is targeting the MO Attorney General and ignoring the will of representatives and citizens alike. He is a tyrant and he must be held accountable. #MOleg
What happens in Missouri often anticipates the political climate of the US. We are still the bellwether state, in the worst possible way.

Greitens is a microcosm of Trump and reflects a broader breakdown of institutions and accountability. The shamelessness should alarm you.
Here's a new essay from my book, "The View From Flyover Country", on Missouri as "a model of low-key autocracy". People who say "It can't happen here" fail to realize it happens in Missouri all the time.

Thread with an important reminder that we still haven't seen the majority of federal documents on Kavanaugh.

Not only the Senate, but the public has the right to know what's in those documents. If appointed, he will be making decisions for generations. We deserve the full truth.
In August 2016, Harry Reid wrote in a public letter to Comey that "the public has the right to know" Trump's relationship with Russia.

Imagine if the FBI or the media had done their job and told the truth. Because that *is* their job: to serve the public, to inform the public.
Somehow the idea that the public has the *right* to know information about the people their tax dollars fund has been lost -- whether due to officials blithely censoring it or journalists sitting on stories until they get maximum financial gain.

We do not have time for this.

I went hiking in the woods. In the distance I saw a tree stump with a strange object on top. I walked over to look and found:
Anyone know what animal this used to be?
There was some sort of bone next to the skull. I left it all there for other unsuspecting hikers to enjoy ;)

"We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw."
"Alas! Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass"
"Or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar"

Elephant Rocks, Missouri. Like walking on the surface of the moon.
More Elephant Rocks. The names were carved into the rocks in the 19th century. The rocks are one billion years old.

Kavanaugh's unhinged, entitled rage is making it easy to imagine him grabbing a teenage girl, throwing her on a bed, and forcing himself on her while muffling her screams
Kavanaugh's horrific behavior, clearly not a relic of the past or limited to drunkenness, may be why his backers rolled out such an excessive advanced PR blitz. Thread:
Everyone who vouched for Kavanaugh's character should have their judgment held in question. The PR campaign itself should be examined.

I'm glad he didn't bring a group of pubescent girls to sit as props behind him this time, because he is truly frightening and out of control.

I'm using this tool to get my chronological timeline back and I'm horrified by how many people I follow who I haven't seen in weeks. Twitter instituted this change gradually enough so that I didn't notice the full effect until today. Really awful, even dangerous algorithm change.
Now that I have my chronological timeline back, it's disconcerting to see what Twitter omitted.

They cut nearly everyone I followed from Missouri off my feed. I was seeing constant "likes" related to NY elections and other NYC stuff. I don't know why; my location is St Louis.
I'm worried about how this non-chronological algorithm will effect disaster coverage, and I guess we'll see with Florence.

But why do it at all? No more live-tweeting sports or awards shows? No more breaking news? How is this in any way advantageous to Twitter or its users?
