Welp, now seems a good a time as any to unequivocally state that I am an anti-fascist and that I oppose any form of authoritarianism from the right, left, or center.
We cannot allow supposed threats of being labeled as terrorists cow us into silence!

Walmart has a habit of not vetting products submitted by individual vendors very well. Please give this a search and report them down, they're still up.

Our natural instinct is to help each other!
Structures of capitalism, colonialism, white supremacy, patriarchy, etc. have to exert tremendous effort to try & obliterate that instinct & isolate us from one another.

Unfortunately, the Democrats will take more from the victories of centrists A. Spanberger and M. Sherrill than they will Mamdani.
Therefore, we can expect more centrist positions from the Democrats in the 2026 midterms.

This whole frozen funds debate is also reinforcing your argument that Western Euros are suicidally unserious. "My banking sector relies on letting the fascists that want to kill us all park their money here" is pure insanity made into policy.
