"I have been in full harmony all my life with the tides which have flowed on both sides of the Atlantic against privilege and monopoly...In my country as in yours public men are proud to be the servants of the state and would be ashamed to be its masters."

On Christmas Eve 1968, in Lunar orbit, the Apollo 8 crew took this photo: “Earthrise."
I'll never forget how inspiring the Apollo missions were to my brother and me as kids. They showed us what our country and humanity can accomplish when we work together toward a common goal.

Far too many fundamentally misunderstand what voting is. It's not a form of personal moral expression; it's a large scale harm v benefit equation, & that takes certain sympathetic & critical thinking skills, of which there's a woeful dearth in this country.
Dumb & mean. That's what we are, mostly.

I didn't vote for Biden. He wasn't on the ticket. I didn't vote for Trump. I don't vote for fascists. I didn't vote for Harris. I don't vote for fascists. My conscience is clear. I think that's what they don't get.

David Duke wakes up every day and thanks his lucky stars, I'm sure. There's absolutely no difference, no daylight at all, between what he'd do in the WH and what the Trump administration is doing. Hell, they're probably being more ambitious than he'd ever dreamed.

Also, characterizing the suffering of my loved ones as virtue signaling is real garbage behavior. So, with all due respect and Merry Christmas and all of that, I'll most emphatically reiterate: you can fuck all the way off.

Your charitable efforts are commendable. Likewise, I volunteer 3x a week at a food bank. Unlike you, I possess the rudimentary empathetic & critical thinking skills required to act in the overall interests of those you're "helping" by, for starters, voting against the corrupt authoritarians, ffs.
While you were busy virtue signaling, I made my year end contributions to various charitable organizations that help marginalized people cope with America’s authoritarian regime, just as I have always contributed my time and talents pro bono as a civil rights litigator since I was a law student.

Yes - it’s not a big group. There are maybe 20 core accounts. They make this site almost unusable for a lot of people. Ban them!
What's striking to me is that I recognize a couple dozen of the people doing the rage at egregious misreadings dance and rallying other replies from all the other times I've seen them do this. It feels like a tremendous pile-on, but it's really a small inter-connected group who does this repeatedly.
