Anyone driving a Tesla is supporting a nazi.

The best diplomats in this country and the world, brought to us by good ol’ Trumpian meritocracy. So glad that woke has been vanquished.

We’ve got one more chance to stomp the regime at the ballot box in 2025. Make some calls to help @aftynbehn.bsky.social flip a GOP district in 11 days: mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Until we have replicators, we will need wealth redistribution.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

I feel like every other advertisements on many of the podcasts I listen to are the big tech firms like Google trying to convince Canada that it does not need or want data sovereignty.

The sooner we rein them in, the better for society.

Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵

We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties.
