🔥💯 Pete Buttigieg in London: I didn't come here to tell everybody that things are better than they look. Things will get worse.
Yet, I'm optimistic because things have reached the point where we will have to fashion something new.

Many of us called out that this law passed by Democrats would turn out to be a massive self inflicted wound.
They never should have passed the TikTok ban. It was a bad idea even WITHOUT oligarch capture.

This is the biggest self own Democrats have ever done. They handed control of the largest social media platform to far right regime allies.

Exiled Thucydides knew
All that a speech can say
About Democracy,
And what dictators do,
The elderly rubbish they talk
To an apathetic grave;
Analysed all in his book,
The enlightenment driven away,
The habit-forming pain,
Mismanagement and grief:
We must suffer them all again.

My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.
I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

State AGs have released a video saying that they "will do whatever it takes" to protect trans people in their states.
While the message is admirable, they need to take the one step they have not yet:
Sue the hospitals that capitulate to Trump, violating state law.
