Maybe this is folly? I dunno, I'll keep trying whatever I can. Things all around are turning to shit. I've never felt like I mattered or made a real difference, but I don't think it's for lack of trying. I'm not active on social media, and don't really have a following, but how else can I be heard?

Authoritarian regimes don’t just collapse. They collapse themselves.
They push too hard. They create their own enemies. And then—suddenly—they’re gone.
Here’s how they accelerate their own demise. 🧵

Nazis really coming out of the woodwork huh.
This is going to become a thing. We'll see a lot more rightwingers copycatting Musk's "gesture" with a knowing wink—y'all saw the sly smile—until it is a fad on the maga right. Indeed I expect we will re-export this charming little affectation back to Europe.
Father Calvin Robinson finished his remarks at the National Pro-Life Summit by throwing an Elon Musk salute, much to the delight of the crowd.
