1/1 On @seanhannity last night (at 5:56 of this clip), @SenTedCruz said that the Hayes-Tilden Commission was "charged with reviewing the evidence and making a determination about the disputed ballots." That's incorrect. The Commission was tasked with determining which rival ...

One of the reasons people don’t know recovery happens through many avenues is because newspapers, TV, and film always promote 12-step recovery as the primary and only means by which one can recover. This is a big problem. 1/9

I also need to highlight that “self-care” is something specific to each individual. In all honesty I still have no idea what it is, what it looks like, or how I deploy it in my life. But I do know what is listed here 👇as self care would not work for me. 2/9

I completely understand that this is just one story focused on one person’s chosen (maybe) recovery path. But as most of us know, when you enter treatment, 12 step ideology will be preached 24/7. 3/9

if you don’t submit you will be labeled dishonest, closed-minded and unwilling. Often this starts a cascade leading down 2 paths. First, you assimilate into 12s culture, tc staff treats you well and gives you outstanding evaluations (which play a significant part in DC date) 4/9

Or the second pathway where you honestly admit 12s just isn’t for you (after all, this is a program of rigorous honesty right?). This path usually leads to public shaming, constant blaming of the patient for not “taking responsibility for cleaning his side of the street.” 5/9

My latest piece at @mmfa:

Fox News keeps trying to justify GOP efforts to object to the Electoral College vote by pointing to the number of people who think the election was stolen (after spending 2 months telling their audiences that it was

This is Fox, basically:

Another comparison to the role Fox is playing here via one of my favorite Onion articles:

Or maybe a human centipede, but with the front connected back to the end for a loop of shit-eating. Yeah, that's it. That's the role Fox is playing here.

But seriously, check out the *more than 2 months* of Fox-enabled conspiracy theories (a partial list):

LAGOS TERRORIST ATTACK, THE MISSING CNN/BBC DOCUMENTARY

They have the documentary of how Lagos was attacked by terrorists on the 21st of October 2020 in a well coordinated way, they're only hiding it for now. @CNN operating ILLEGALLY in Nigeria is keeping this away from viewers!

Giving the breakdown of the Economic cost of the SORO SOKE EndSARS protest at Lagos Business School, the loss was estimated way above $12 billion. The entire economy of Rwanda as a Nation is less than that.
This terrorist attack was well coordinated especially by CELEBRITIES!

The International Media platform @CNN @CNNAfrica @cnni used their go-between folks @StephanieBusari @nimaelbagir & @IshaSesay to coordinate this terrorist attack in Nigeria, specifically using Lagos being the Economic Capital to bring crisis. @BBCAfrica was complacent also.

If you Insist this was not a well coordinated terrorist attacks, there are questions asked by Dr @fimiletoks, Please answer it LIVE on @CNN @cnni @BBCAfrica
1. Tell us the end game for the protest when all their demands were met.
Was SARS dissolved AS AT 11th October? #5For5?

2. If the plan was not to throw the country into chaos & effect a regime change why keeping the protest on especially in Lagos, when everything they asked for was done?
3. What was supposed to bring an end to their protest?
4. What would have made you guys leave the road?

Thread day after @MyMDC_T held its Ex congress @DrThoko_Khupe chaired an alleged National council, which arrived at the resolution of firing @DMwonzora recall him from parliament. The resolutions were supposed to be read by #Phugeni then party spokesperson but he refused ...

We share with you the resolutions which were withheld last minute at a Press conference addressed yesterday on advice from @ProfMadhuku - below are the full resolutions.

NATIONAL COUNCIL MEETING RESOLUTIONS
28 Dec 2020
 
Upholding and Respecting the Supreme Court Judgment (SC56/2020) which ordered the holding of an EO C in terms of the party constitution to elect a substantive replacement for the late Party President Dr Morgan Richard Tsvangirai.

Acknowledging that the same Supreme Court judgement recognises the existence of the constitution of the MDC without any qualifications.
Affirming that the Supreme Court judgement doesn’t entail deviating from the clear provisions of our constitution.

Realising that some members of the Party have left the party and joined or formed other political parties, and that by that fact alone, the said members have renounced their membership of the party.
Acknowledging the resolutions of the N Cof 9 May 2020, which meeting resolved to

It is VITAL that you understand we got here because we allowed Fox News, Newsmax, Alex Jones, Brietbart and MANY MANY others to create a siege mentality in the right.

One of the most disturbing aspects of a siege mindset is a willingness to reflexively believe ANY claim against

the perceived enemy that echoes or aligns with the established belief. Put simply, the right wing talk sphere trained its listeners to be willing to believe ANYTHING about “libs,” without the least requirement for there to be evidence to support it. It obliterated reasoning as
