Republican Playbook:
Distract Americans with culture wars and attacks on marginalized communities while they transfer massive amounts of wealth from the working-class to the top .1%
I hope this context helps when the media tries to "both sides" every issue.

A 🧵When I consume PBS or Fox I do so with a spreadsheet in hand and I write down every minute of content including every single guest. PBS regularly has on both sides of political topics. They go out of their way to avoid a bias. I picked PBS exactly for this reason. 1/3

No sense of community. The answer is to get rid of the property tax system for school funding. All schools should be well funded equally. Being well educated should not be an accident of birth.

They still have them. Wanna feel awesome? Stop by your local elementary school and leave some money in the office for the kids that don't have any. Share the magic.

Any calls for Dems to work to strike a bargain overlook the lack of good faith bargaining from GOP. #Speakerofthehousevote #Speakerofthehouse

What if @GOPLeader McCarthy offered to allow the plurality to decide leader? The result is @RepJeffries is leader 2 years ahead of schedule or @GOP gets its act together.

Killing off public schools & privatizing them is already estimated to be $47.9 billion industry. Bigger than online sports betting. The cannabis industry won’t hit that til 2030. It’s already 3x the size of check cashing / payday loan industry – and just as predatory. (1/4)

The 4 year master class in #herdingcats from @SpeakerPelosi made it look easy. She had the advantage of an internal opposition that negotiated in good faith and were serious about #Governance Unfortunately @GOPLeader lacks skills and a caucus that seeks common ground for all US

As a partisan, the unserious people on the opposite side of the political spectrum are amusing - to a point. When does the clown show end? Three votes and no apparent #Speaker If @GOP didn’t learn how to do this after 4 yrs of watching @SpeakerPelosi leadership there is no hope.

Kevin McCarthy's ambition to be Speaker is being held hostage by the far right.
The division and dysfunction of House Republicans stands in contrast to the unity of House Democrats around Hakeem Jeffries.
A tale of two Houses is unfolding. Governing vs Grandstanding.

When teachers make more money working their side hustles than they do teaching, it means that society sees teaching as a hobby and not a career, or that because teaching is 78% female and we don’t value the work of women, or… both.

Twitter’s Dark Overlord is grossing the algorithms to fill our timelines with racists and fascists.
Plus, it seems like a fair number of people are taking their energies elsewhere. (P o s t .news, for the journalists).
