all this we deserve it score 1 16 pirkle v wolf some random republican voters because trumpworld needed to dig up some people who would have legal standing to bring the suit claim that election officials in some counties coincidentally all areas biden won counted illegal ballots their coughcough evidence contains gems like some voters were advised they needed to cure ballot defects while others were not with no indication of where or when this happened who performed these actions or who witnessed them and a poll watcher overheard unregistered voters being advised to return later under a different name that was registered in the poll book which would be classic hearsay if they had details about who overheard this when and where it was overheard and who was doing the advising but and i know this will shock you they do not which makes this yet another case of hearsay about hearsay this was just filed on 11 10 so it has yet to be laughed out of court ongoing score 1 16 donald j trump for president inc v philadelphia county board of elections lie filled 11 5 claim that republican poll watchers are being intentionally refused and that an emergency stay must be issued to stop the count until this is remedied because poll watchers were indeed present by agreement of all parties this was denied 11 5 score 1 17 donald j trump for president inc v philadelphia county board of elections this is actually five different requests for appeal each appeal is for a different area but they all are demanding that ballots be thrown out if they have various minor envelope errors are from people who voted by mail but then died before election day or that were given a secondary review by election officials there may be more i just skimmed it but honestly who cares they were all denied first appeal 11 10 asks the court to toss 1211 ballots denied 11 13 second appeal 11 10 asks the court to toss 1259 ballots denied 11 13 third appeal 11 10 asks the court to toss 533 ballots denied 11 13 fourth appeal 11 10 asks the court to toss 860 ballots denied 11 13 fifth appeal 11 10 asks the court to toss 4466 ballots denied 11 13 score 1 22 trump is currently sending desperate emails asking his supporters for more quarters but the fine print shows where most of the money is really going you ll never guess i m sure there are some suits i missed and i m sure there are some details i got wrong i m not an attorney my point is not to provide legal analysis but to provide a bit of calm i ve seen many legal analysts say don t look at what they re saying on tv look at what they re saying in court trump s attorneys are deeply into the nitpicking weeds focusing on things like the envelope wasn t sealed and this voter put 11 1 instead of 11 1 20 they re putting hearsay about hearsay into official complaints then asking for wildly outsized remedies like the entire county s vote should be invalidated they re even filing suits using evidence that was thrown out in other cases when your lawsuit asks for votes in an entire county to be invalidated because a republican poll watcher thought democrat poll watchers were staring at her and the room was too loud you re not a serious attorney filing a serious case the point here is to create mistrust in our democratic processes diminish faith in our democracy foment anger and division and stall as long as possible so that trump and the rnc can grift as much money as possible from their gullible supporters while the suits are still ongoing trump s own department of homeland security has flatly stated there was no election fraud and multiple behind the scenes sources have admitted that trump himself knows as much while trump will be out of office on january 20 2021 trumpism with its lies division anger bigotry and hatred will continue to exist republican voter suppression will continue to exist get ready to roll up your sleeves but take a moment to enjoy trump s defeat why not make some molasses cookies

patreon patron tagged elections politics recipes republican party trump oct 30 2020 culture theatre the future of theater in the us everything is in flux our future is uncertain and we ve never been more important are we really that important the arts are always important but they re critical during cultural inflection points and right now the us is in a doozy the gop slide into authoritarianism is unraveling our democracy emboldening racists and pushing the horrific stance that everyone but the gop base are the enemy and in the words of eric trump not even people republicans have radically shifted their approach to the problems facing our nation in the past we discussed problems in terms of what do we do about this fact republicans have altered the terms of the debate to what is true they dismiss factual evidence by claiming that the source of that evidence is liberal the enemy the circular logic is dizzying they claim that publishing a fake news story is proof that a source has a liberal bias while simultaneously claiming that the proof that the story is fake news is that it comes from a liberal source only stories that confirm their world view no matter how outlandish or contradictory can be true and all stories that contradict their world view no matter how well supported by evidence are fake news while the point of this is discrediting any source that could cast their agenda in a negative light that short term gain for republicans comes at a major long term expense if we can no longer agree that facts evidence expertise truth then we can get nothing accomplished there s no point in thorough serious debate about any issue and the only consideration becomes who has the most raw political power republicans now have fully committed to bully politics using their newfound ability to define truth politically rather than factually they feel perfectly entitled to ignore factual problems and substitute a list of wholly invented problems like antifa which trump s own fbi determined was an ideology not an organization the imaginary idea that trans women are a danger to cis women or the dire predictions they ve made about every democratic politician for years that never materialize they ll send jack booted thugs to confiscate your guns they ll outlaw christianity they ll put conservatives in concentration camps they ll institute communism they ll kidnap sexually assualt and eat your children which while new for everyone else is familiar to jews as one of the primary antisemitic lies known as the blood libel republicans have evacuated all serious discussions facing our nation and the world climate change systemic racism authoritarianism public health russian aggression north korean nuclear capabilities losing our place as the economic center of the world losing our place as a political world leader alienating our allies while courting flattering brutal dictators by locating the argument in gaslighting rather than in discussing the issues republicans have bet the farm on none of these problems are true because they have no answer for what do we do about these problems this inflection point will decide the entire future of our culture are we a nation of evidence careful consideration of the facts and serious debate or are we a nation that prefers to ignore our problems and focus instead on sifting who is in the in group and who is in the out group distributing rights and rewards accordingly at major cultural inflection points the role of the arts becomes critically important the arts are where we as a culture determine who we are what we want to be what we hope for what we fear what we re willing to fight for the stories of a culture reflect that culture and shape it the storyteller shapes the narrative the narrative shapes opinion and belief opinion and belief shape the culture there is no greater power than controlling the narrative which is precisely why conservatives have radically shifted the terms of the debate and focused on the fictional narrative that the left are not as previously believed fellow americans whose opinions differ but the enemy hell bent on destroying america whose statements are always calculated lies at this point in our culture s history we must fight for a shared acceptance of reality we must fight for a return to the critical cultural narrative that evidence and expertise are more important than opinion and belief and that facts should shape our worldviews not the other way around the arts have more power to shape culture than any politician or political pundit there are examples of this throughout our history sometimes it s an art led movement and sometimes the arts distill reflect and popularize something already stirring in the cultural fringes usually both but one thing is certain this is the most important cultural moment for arts leadership that there has ever been in our lifetimes we must fight for the existence of observable verifiable truth so what do we do pete seeger s banjo photographed by annie leibowitz we re arts leaders it s time to lead what does this mean in practical terms 1 honor and promote expertise this means recognizing that an industry centered around white male able bodied gatekeepers is limited in its understanding of the issues that face our industry and our nation hire center promote share power with marginalized people disabled people bipoc in particular have been pushed to the margins in our culture and our art bipoc are pushing theater film and television into a diversity equity and inclusion reckoning that s been a long time coming embrace this rather than push against it disabled people are still almost completely ignored in dei work in the theater lead by putting both bipoc and disabled people into real positions of power at your company and listen to what they have to say about every issue not just about bipoc specific or disabled specific issues bipoc and people with disabilities will have perspectives on general issues that white and able bodied people lack we recognize that professional experience grants expertise this is not controversial a development person with 20 years of experience has expertise in development no one questions that we must also value expertise gained through lived experience as a marginalized person 2 act on your principles move dei from an initiative to a foundational component of your mission move dei from vague and general to specific and direct several white men i was working alongside for the past few years publicly supported black lives matter and metoo while simultaneously insisting that black women in our own organization were exaggerating and wrong about sexism and racism in our own workplace online support is great it helps shift the zeitgeist but performative support for victims in high profile cases of abuse marginalization and bigotry in which your personal influence is minimal becomes a depressing joke when you actively work against victims in your own workplace where your personal influence is deeply consequential it s great that you show public support for women bipoc people with disabilities and lgbtq people but it s critical to stand with them in your own organizations i understand that it s much easier to denounce someone far away than it is to examine and admit your own complicity learn and grow from the experience and commit to finding better ways to navigate your cultural privilege but it s work that can t be avoided if we re committed to justice 3 reject balance reject neutrality now is the time to take sides side clearly with the idea that reality exists and that evidence is unchanged by opinion we ve gone well beyond rashomon style examinations of subjectivity in our culture the terms of the debate have been deliberately shifted from how did this murder happen to did the murder even take place and did this person even exist we re seeing it in the shift from what do we do about covid to is covid really dangerous and even is covid even real we re seeing it in the attempted ban on diversity training and the words systemic racism but covid is a public health crisis no matter how many times they deny it and systemic racism exists whether they yank federal funding or not reality cannot be blackmailed what does this mean for us in practical terms refuse to stage work or host discussions that feature false equivalencies between reality and propaganda the terms of the discussion must be what will we do about this issue not is this issue real do not allow the terms of the debate to include calling hard evidence into question for ideological purposes in other words do not stage oleanna or any other work that pretends racism sexism ableism or other forms of bigotry might actually just be tools to destroy good white men these works are not controversial or provocative they re dishonest no one needs to explore oleanna s silly disingenuous central question are accusations of sexism just women exacting revenge because they aren t smart enough to understand the brilliance of white men stage works that deal with problems honestly there are plenty of controversial and provocative plays that honestly explore issues remember that everything is political so all of this applies to fluffy romantic comedies just as much and likely more than it does political theater with an outwardly political agenda this extends to all programming do not host audience engagement events that include discussions that claim to feature two people from both sides of an issue when one side is just dismissing or minimizing the issue and do not be afraid to ask for help if you re unsure reach out to someone in your org or in the community or hire a dei consultant to confidentially help you navigate the situation 4 remember who you are remember your magic remember your power make guardian of truth part of your work remember that truth includes diverse perspectives remember that truth doesn t mean linear political theater remember that truth extends to how you treat every human who touches your organization staff audience press donors board grant officers
