I love that Tay is back! When Perrin dismisses Mon's crusade as "Saving the Empire from the Emperor," Tay admonishes him to respect his wife: "Charity begins at home." Perrin gives Tay this annoyed little look before walking away. It's delightful. — PolitiTweet.org

Side note, as long as we're talking about the senator huddle scene: At one point, a senator approvingly observes that Palpatine "says what he means." Is that perhaps Tony Gilroy's thinly veiled dig at a certain former president? — PolitiTweet.org

“If you’re doing nothing wrong, what is there to fear?” “Now I’m fearing your definition of wrong.” A brilliant exchange that highlights the fallacy of supporting a police state. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
As in the real world, some of these senators see the Empire’s cruelty for what it is, while others think they won’t have to worry about its effects because they're not troublemakers. One senator says anything is okay as long as it’s done to protect “us” — i.e. from “them.” — PolitiTweet.org

Let's talk about the scene where Mon Mothma discusses politics with her fellow senators. If it were up to me, we'd have an entire 50 minutes of this. Gilroy is able to pack so much into this scene. It gives us a profound sense of the daunting odds facing Mon. — PolitiTweet.org

Speaking of Cassian...Maarva. 😥 The whole thing with Bix and Brasso checking in on Maarva and talking about finding her a home w/ supervision is so sweet (and obviously very grounded in real-life struggles). Maarva's opening drains for rebels. Is she starting to lose her mind? — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
The prison also puts Cassian face to face with the people who are suffering partly because of his actions. Luthen told Mon that this kind of collateral damage was necessary to spark a rebellion, but that was a theoretical conversation. Here, we’re seeing the real ppl who suffer. — PolitiTweet.org

There are two scenes (the guards getting ready to put Cassian on the work floor; Cassian watching his team's assembly process for the first time) where the sense of managed chaos is so palpable that you really empathize with Cassian's confused, overwhelmed, and anxious state. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
It’s amazing how much Diego Luna says with just his expressions. Cassian barely talks in this episode, but you can always tell exactly how he's feeling. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Gilroy doesn't shy away from the grim reality of prison life. Kino stops Melshi from telling Cassian he’s never getting out b/c only the hope of freedom keeps prisoners sane enough to work. The prisoners react to Veemoss’s suicide with groans about smell & loss of productivity. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
The scene with the prisoners asking Cassian if he knows about the resentencing order is so great. They're wondering about a backlash against enhanced sentences. Meanwhile, Cassian can’t admit that he knows exactly why the Empire cracked down. So much going on in a brief scene. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s just so bleak that the top-performing tables get flavor in their food. The fact that everyone else just has to eat mush highlights the cruelty of the system. Food is just bare sustenance to enable continued labor. Unlike us, they can't enjoy anything about it. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
The fact that we can’t tell what gizmos the prisoners are making adds to the dystopian nature of their work. The objects are just metaphors for forced labor and the prisoners' involuntary contribution to the Imperial war machine. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Kino Loy is a great example of how oppressive regimes turn victims against each other. Prison guards empower people like him so they'll keep other prisoners cowed and productive instead of riotous. History is rife with examples of this. Props to Gilroy for going there. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
The guards' insistence that prisoners remain "on program" is basically their way of saying "we control you utterly." It evokes the common expression "get with the program" but in a more oppressive way. These guards are so confident — so fat and proud, as Cassian once said. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
On the electrified floor thing: We can all relate to the general feeling of vulnerability from being barefoot. It means being exposed, being susceptible to little pains and injuries. Seeing the barefoot prisoners helps us relate, on some small level, to their experience. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Obviously, we have to start with Narkina 5. Unnecessarily aggressive guards, gratuitous insistence on compliance, forced labor, tasteless food, destruction of solidarity, and electrified floors. What an incredibly bold metaphor for the American prison system. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
With this week's phenomenal episode, #Andor once again shows that it isn't messing around. It's coming for your carceral state AND your surveillance state. Plus, more depth to Luthen, a villain team-up deferred(?), and someone please get Maarva on Medicare. — PolitiTweet.org

Silvers talked up CISA's Shields Up campaign, calling it "the broadest-reaching public awareness and outreach campaign ever in history led by the federal govt w/ industry." Number of class & unclass briefings is "breathtaking." Amount of intel sharing "completely unprecedented." — PolitiTweet.org

@DHS_Policy “We need to build and sustain" the CSRB, said Silvers, who chairs the board. They're hiring permanent staff and talking to lawmakers about further appropriations. "The enthusiasm has been really, really high," Silvers said. — PolitiTweet.org

Speaking at CSIS this morning, @DHS_Policy said DHS's Cyber Safety Review Board has "some ideas" for its next area of study "that are moving quickly down the pipeline now." "Lord knows we got plenty of plenty of incidents to look back on and learn lessons from." — PolitiTweet.org

@eleventhirtyate I'm confused, isn't it *more* incongruous that he hasn't met Obi-Wan if he's still part of the Order in TPM? That seems like a point in favor of the complainers, not against them. — PolitiTweet.org
