They also don't mention how he routinely mumbles and slurs even prepared remarks, like here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zsd...

I see no reason not to look at the online gambling and prediction market craze as a new opioids crisis.

The companies are just Purdue Pharma 2.0

The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

It was my intro to subways, people being multilingual, corner stores, trash pickup, multiracial neighborhoods, you name it.

New Yorkers wonβt let Donald Trump erase LGBTQ+ history, or trample the rights of our LGBTQ+ neighbors.
I volunteered with PA canvassers for the last 2 months and think about those "low information" and swing voters too much. Did we have bad lists? The wrong messages? We got so much good feedback and there was so much momentum. (or not?)
