With the real possibility that the red states will change electoral laws and stuff ballot boxes to give their team 90% ballot victories, suddenly, the electoral college is looking like a pretty smart idea!

Most of those referred to by the MSM as "conservatives" are actually "regressives", and the people they call "progressives" are really "conservatives".

Eye-opening insight into the self-justificatory intellectual scaffolding and social context that lets people treat the 3M surplus mortality caused by the USAID shutdown as "rounding error". @adambecker.bsky.social

Niemöller was a Lutheran minister in the Bekennende Kirche, and, yes, Bekennende ministers were on the liquidation list, right after the Jews, but that was pretty much where the liquidation list stopped. #whentheycame

On the one hand, 92M seems like a lot of money to spend on a parade -- on the other hand, how do you put a price tag on lasting art? www.filmaffinity.com/us/film26491...
