A Trumper asked me today if I was one of those nutjobs trying to save polar bears.
My reply I think shocked him: No. The polar bears are already dead bears walking/swimming. We can't save them. They will go extinct in the wild. At this point, we're just trying to keep agriculture from collapsing.

Always be wary of MAGAs/Marxists posing as disaffected Democrats — "the answer that's politically correct," as if actually showing-up to vote in 2024 & electing Democrats into the majorities needed to prevent all this trouble, wasn't the solution all along.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.
