Right now I got this on YouTube at the link I gave and on C-Span Radio. If you open up the app in YouTube you’ll see over 33,000 views so far and the live comments.

I’m starting my daily tasks and boy, this is a morning I can hardly wait for rich percolator coffee. It just takes a half hour in my stovetop pot. In the meantime I’ve got the C-Span Radio on. It’s morning now in DC and slowly other senators are coming into witness, support, and ask clarifying questions. Illinois as Washington Senators were just speaking with Merkley. #Resist #Filibuster #DontObey #EpsteinFiles #HowDemocracyDies #SenatorMerkley #Senate #Filibuster #Merkley #JeffMerkley

Up until November on Threads:

I was picking up 1 to 20 new followers a day.
At least one post would get 500+ likes per week.
RARELY saw right-wing content.

Since Zuckerberg's pre-Thanksgiving sit down with Trump:

I've lost 170 followers.
I've had only 2 mildly viral posts.
At least 25% of the content is right-wing, more than left-wing.

And now no fact checking. #HowDemocracyDies

@Tsun_Tsun @Radical_EgoCom Hasn't #GeorgeLukas basically said as much?

Ah, found it:
------
George Lucas has admitted that one of the biggest influences on the series was the Nixon era. In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, Lucas said Star Wars “was really about the Vietnam War, and that was the period where #Nixon was trying to run for a [second] term, which got me to thinking historically about how do democracies get turned into dictatorships? Because the democracies aren't overthrown; they're given away."
