seem to have a very sober understanding of what's going on on the right. They're without any "oh, hopefully they'll do the right thing in the end" illusions about just how potentially ruthless and dangerous the people currently wielding power have become. And, of course, both are very well connected.

But I don't follow anyone routinely, rather, like HighPlainsDem, search topics I'm interested in. I'm undoubtedly missing out on some good entertainment, but I use Twitter almost exclusively to see what smart, involved people are talking about in the realms of the social sciences.

Roland B Hedley Jr is all I can take on twitter JDC Dec 2017 #1
