Oooo, the Big Beautiful Bill passed; time to put 'em down

Man why can't NPR interviewers do a better job of calling out GOP Lawmakers when they use their obfuscative speech as it pertains to the the real impact their bills will have. Like we know the GOP are very NPC like and will use tonal tricks like a Southern Baptist Preacher for their BS. Do better

Was watching the new Jubilee video with doctor Mike and he has the patience of a saint cause the amount of self assuredness, appeals to emotion, and mischaracterizations around vaccines and illness was sending me through the roof. That format is FUCKING TRASH though.

I've loved the "Alt-Right" Playbook series of videos from Innuendo Studios; after watching this I'm currently asking myself "What Is My Rubicon?". Honestly back in 2015 when terms like "Far Right" and "Alt-Right" were used to ameliorate Fascists was a Rubicon for me and now look where we are 🤬

One of the ways that Orbán locked down power was to turn the Hungarian state into a giant patronage machine that rewards his supporters and punishes his opponents. www.journalofdemocracy.org/articles/how...

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

The whole quote is "The love of money is the root of all evil" so there's that. Tech has had less and less discernment for what is allowed on platforms under the idea of cultural free speech; this has lead to feelings of villainy. When contrasted with Mutual Aid philanthropy is kinda evil.
By “free speech” they meant “make it illegal to dislike me”

For the love of god can I get y'all to cut people down when they use the term "cross sex hormones"; it's a trans bigotry dog whistle and also scientifically false.

I started watching that new Mark Zuckerberg interview with Joe Rogan and it just goes to show how bad of an interviewer he his when they're ideologically aligned with the guest. No challenges, no "based on what" questions when speaking in evocations. Just sad really.
