rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

there’s a stark contrast where typical liberals in the democratic party would deride you when you told them democrats were feckless losers that always capitulate, all these people seem to also be mad at the democratic party now. this is a great change. the party establishment needs to go

Money can literally buy reality itself.
The Trump/Musk plan is to legally target journalists and publications for doing journalism. Even if the legal actions ultimately fail, they’ll bankrupt and smear the journalists and orgs along the way. Years of precedent for this, including Gawker v Hogan, financially backed by Thiel

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

My mom is a hardcore trumper:
-Bought trump coin at the top
-Is likely going to losing her federally funded job
-Also losing her state pension she needed 18 more months to qualify for
She still supports him. Still.
Trump was right when he said he could shoot someone on fifth avenue.
