Just wanted to share some of what I wrote in a comment thread on fb about @sheathescholar's post the other day #COVID19 #COVID https://t.co/WGVvwNiKSB — PolitiTweet.org

In fact, speaking for myself but as the former PR Director for @AmericanAtheist, research suggests over & over that presenting cult victims with evidence they are wrong is actually COUNTER productive, unless it's done in certain ways. There's a whole field devoted to this. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

Also, evangelicals are primed for, experienced in, & self selected to be receptive to cult programming. Mentally dismissing feelings of cognitive dissonance that accompany cult programming takes practice. And deprogramming is a LOT more than contrary evidence+logical arguments. — PolitiTweet.org

This concept of the prosperity gospel is harmful far beyond the scope of evangelical megachurches most infamous for abusing it. Along with racism, it's why white "Christians" support the obviously, comic-book evil, fake-Christian Trump. Money is how they measure fitness to lead. — PolitiTweet.org

In fact you have a better chance of becoming a millionaire if your parents were millionaires and you are a high school dropout, vs if not and you have a doctorate in any field. It's a scam. This is part of why we talk about #reparations. https://t.co/K51OYwqaMs — PolitiTweet.org

The single biggest predictor of whether you will become a millionaire is not your level of edu, not your business acumen nor work ethic, not your mental health or physical health, not your line of work or where in the country you live. It's if your parents are/were millionaires. — PolitiTweet.org

Americans have this idea, based in capitalist propaganda & spread intentionally through Christian churches, that if you are rich, it's because you are a moral person and God is rewarding you. …And if you are poor, it's bc you're a piece of shit who did something to deserve that — PolitiTweet.org

It costs FAR less for taxpayers to just pay for motel rooms for unhoused families, vs the taxpayer cost of EMS/police encounters assoc w/ living on the street. This has been true for years pre-covid, & is even more true now. THE ONLY REASON NOT TO DO THIS EVERYWHERE IS CRUELTY. — PolitiTweet.org

Neurologists don't do cognitive tests on people who don't present, on exam, like they might need one. Especially not repeatedly. https://t.co/SV9o1gzhKV — PolitiTweet.org

NEVER talk to police. Don't believe a single word they say. They are allowed to lie and they ABSOLUTELY will. Lawyer up immediately. Prepare your contact info now. This video is long but worth it. TL;DR nobody talks, everybody walks. https://t.co/kpiPdIa6i8 — PolitiTweet.org

Set your phone so you need a PIN to unlock it. If you're not already using Signal or Telegram for texting, switch. White supremacists are regularly caught impersonating cops. If men from an unmarked van try to abduct you, run if you can. Scream for help and fight back if not. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

Chicago, Milwaukee, St Louis, Minneapolis, Louisville. We need to prepare. Now. Have a plan. Get your emergency contacts & documents together. Don't go out alone. They are disappearing activists in unmarked vans. This is happening. Get ready. https://t.co/HJQXcdplfP — PolitiTweet.org

I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but it's just a little too convenient that the Republicans are attacking the integrity of mail-in ballots, at the very same time we're counting the days to the biggest eviction crisis in modern American history.... — PolitiTweet.org

@aint_nobody_imp What are we supposed to do? If it's a white supremacist with a real badge, and we run or fight back, we get charged with multiple felonies. If it's a white supremacist merely impersonating an officer, and we DON'T run or fight back, we get MURDERED. We have no choice! — PolitiTweet.org

@BrillBkfast @JoeBiden Unfortunately I'm afraid you're thinking too small. The right has been building bunkers & stockpiling AR-15s waiting for this moment for YEARS, long b4 Trump's 2015 announcement. Think more along the lines of "execute order 66." When the fascist president says "go," we are DEAD. — PolitiTweet.org

@BrillBkfast @JoeBiden Unfortunately I'm afraid you're thinking too small. The right has been building bunkers & stockpiling AT-15s waiting for this moment since waaaay before Trump's 2015 announcement. Think more along the lines of "execute order 66." When the fascist president says "go," we are DEAD. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

It doesn't matter if @JoeBiden wins by 5 points or 50. Trump is a narcissist. He is not CAPABLE of admitting defeat. He has ALREADY refused to agree to concede if he loses. Trump will not be leaving the White House voluntarily. We need to prepare for what that means. https://t.co/Mp2hMSAKpO — PolitiTweet.org

If you jump out of an unmarked van, and you do not identify yourself as a cop, and you try to abduct someone walking down the street... you should expect that person to kill you in self-defense. I dare any "conservative" to disagree. This is WHY the Second Amendment exists. — PolitiTweet.org

#TIL that @realDonaldTrump pitched a variation of his 'reality' show The Apprentice in which Black people compete against white people for a season. Execs had to sit down and have a meeting and explain to him why this would not be happening. https://t.co/jAlRNx9wxZ — PolitiTweet.org

@marwilliamson What does his argument matter? They are not interested in engaging with us in discourse. We are past nonviolence. It wasn't our choice, but it's where we are. The state made that move. The question isn't violence vs nonviolence. How do we defend ourselves against state violence? — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@marwilliamson The question isn't violence or nonviolence, it's what do we do about state violence against us. Nonviolence isn't an option, they're bringing it. 135k dead and counting is what "nonviolence" looks like. I can't label that nonviolent, I just can't. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@marwilliamson It takes privilege to advocate nonviolent self defense in response to violence. You ever been teargassed? Cops don't care if we're nonviolent or not. Camo'ed men who refuse to identify themselves are disappearing activists off the street in unmarked vans. We're past nonviolence. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@marwilliamson Thank you for responding Marianne. I'm sorry but I want to know: when what is over? The general? The right has been building bunkers & stockpiling AR15s & preparing for this for YEARS. Do you really think Trump is even capable of conceding a loss, let alone his cult peacefully? — PolitiTweet.org
