If you aren’t familiar with the Overton Window, it’s an important concept that means the acceptable range of discourse between the far left and far right.
Every time you platform a fascist like Lauren Boebert and treat her like a politician instead of a fucking criminal, you move the Overton Window to where SHE WANTS.
This is precisely why we are in the situation we’re in.

2 years ago, I was so proud of what we did in the House in the early morning hours of January 7 to prove that "our flag was still there". Tonight, the @GOP@twitter.com is caving to those who supported the insurrection.

A reminder that this type of video of Putin could have been made weeks ago. When they produce material that cannot not be verified as current, I give it very little credibility.

2. The battlefields are now experiencing a rapid fall in temperature that will change the calculus in favor of Ukraine that will be able to maneuver its mechanized forces with the mud now freezing along with the Russian conscripts who are poorly supplied and led.

Truly a shame that on the 2 year anniversary of the Jan 6 insurrection, none of the ringleaders of this attack on our democracy have faced the slightest bit of justice and accountability.
Justice delayed is justice denied, and an insurrection that goes unpunished becomes a training exercise for next time.
The DOJ must act immediately to protect the American people, our democracy, and our national peace—before it's too late.
Here's the story that the press & even Dems are missing about the GOP chaos on Capitol Hill:
These 20 Trump Republicans want the same thing Trump wants -- the power to destroy the country if they don't get what they want.
That's what this is all about.

@DeanObeidallah @harrylitman @StevenBeschloss Where are the Republicans??? Are there any on the steps of the Capitol honoring fallen officers? Correct me if I am mistaken.
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)

Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
