@jaykuo thank you for the article, excellent research. Americans are under attack by right wing extremists intentionally attempting to create constant threat from within - standard fascist political strategy. This is terrorism. And we need to treat it like that.

@w7voa The Guardian has a great rundown of the last four or so statements Cruz has issued - clearly has a template ready to go for the next one. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/may/07/texas-mall-shooting-ted-cruz-response-backlash?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

@w7voa Right wing media, & increasingly, right wing politicians, encourage violence. Creating conditions of constant threat from within is textbook fascist political strategy.

@w7voa @oliverdarcy Various newspapers persist in writing about Musk using his own terms: Musk took a Twitter poll: in fact his ‘polls’ aren’t: he a) polls only his followers & b) uses his own framing. Musk’s ‘poll’ as to whether he should step down as CEO was a) meaningless anyway - Musk will always be in unilateral control; & b) was always the plan. I just wish we’d stop covering right wing propaganda outlets using their own framing.
