GOP still love Trump (91%!) but independent and democratic folk are at 33 and 6 percent approval, according to Gallup.

This fight to oust the kleptocrats will come down to voter turnout, as usual.
President Trump Job Approval graph shows him going negative in the polls in March and continuing downward. Disapproval graph shows a line of mountains ascending to the right with a near-vertical jump to 55% in early November. Approval is at 41%, down 15 points from January.

Autodeleted post: elias isquith •@eliasisquith.blog•4h one of the silliest things ppl do is mock elon for the twitter purchase just because he wanted out and it's financially a loser. he bought so much more than a company. it's been a total unqualified W for his theory of the downstream effects of the algo and therefore the power of whoever owns it.

A helpful visual aid on neo-nazi symbols. CW for Germany and survivors.
20 neo-nazi symbols are shown on a poster called "Public Warning: most Nazis don't wear swastikas. Familiarize yourself with these symbols and keep your eyes open: Know your enemy! Symbols include specific runes, crosses, one skull and crossbones in 3D 3/4 view, a few specific sun symbols, not-equal sign, and the numbers 88, 14, 92, 18.

One of the posters DHS showed is this one (theirs is cropped to just the family). Original poster shows a white family standing outdoors under a flag with the hand of Uncle Sam lifting the fabric edge. "Back Your Future with U.S. Savings Bonds." According to a poster on Mastodon, it was originally a 1942 war bonds Poster to get people to prop up the country in the fight against fascism.

aka "the shitty people follower tracker" app which can help you analyze your social graph for people who fraternize with the enemy.

Typically such apps are intended to help you find people who follow you that you haven't followed back and to help you discover hot new accounts your peeps follow.
The now-defunct app was called "the shitty people follower tracker"

A diagram with 6 human figures showing their heights and the average (mean) of their heights, with a colored band showing the variation in heights for the group. Heights vary by 11.5cm above and below the average line, so 11.5 is the standard deviation.
