“What's happening to CBS is a terrible embarrassment and if execs think they can build shareholder value by avoiding journalism that might offend the Mad King they are about to learn a tough lesson. This is still America and we don’t enjoy bullshit like this.”

This is clearly unacceptable. And there are indicators in Georgia that the tech is just not yet at a point to keep people safe (blowing by school buses, failing to stop when crossing beltline, etc.). I’d support a full ban on Waymo until the tech improves dramatically.

Vance comes down against “purity tests”—i.e., against criticizing the neo-Nazis. He’s happy to have them as part of his coalition.
JD Vance: "When I say that I'm going to fight alongside of you, I mean all of you — each and every one. President Trump did not build the greatest coalition in politics by running his supporters through endless, self-defeating purity tests."

JD Vance is acting like he’s never read any story about deals w/ devil or wishing upon an evil genie. Even if he becomes president, the high is gonna last all of 5 seconds
Which is why there is actually no choice but to rip out his name and likeness from everything, root and stem.

This needs to be treated like a medieval heresy, not a passing phase. The nation cannot move on without extinguishing his legacy.

A field program is a machine that inputs this and outputs healthcare
Trump doubles down on his Rob Reiner attack: "I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person... He became like a deranged person, Trump Derangement Syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country."

If you think Trump's bad polling doesn't matter, I hope you reconsider after tonight's elections. Maybe his unpopularity doesn't affect *his* behavior, but it definitely impacts tons of other people—including many GOP voters who are either switching sides or staying home.

5) Coordinated resistance has been successful at blunting the potency of Trump’s censorship campaign, mirroring the power collective resistance has in modern U.S. history to move society forward. Sustained & systemic resistance is essential in the months & yrs ahead as a bulwark against tyranny.
