Elections aren’t every 4 years or every 2 years, they’re every year. In California we have a special election for prop 50 and it’s a YES. If Texas can gerrymander then we should be able to. I know my comments will be filled with bots, but I won’t be intimidated. Our democracy is vanishing❤️

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.
So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.
An honor to receive the endorsement of
of nearly a dozen Black clergy leaders in Crown Heights today, including Bishop Orlando Findlayter.
I’m grateful for their support, and this powerful and humbling prayer.

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.
Some of the ringleaders are below: We live in a world where 4chan types now occupy positions of real power.

my life's ambition is to be used as a powerless prop by a company with no ethics seeking to validate its relentless quest for maximum engagement in a country too corrupt to have functional regulators

Bee-yoo-ti-ful takedown of Bari Weiss by John Oliver's "Last Week Tonight"

John Oliver Warns Viewers to Keep a Close Eye on CBS News in Wake of “Alarming” Bari Weiss Hire
John Oliver used his main segment on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight to take a close look at Bari Weiss, the newly appointed editor-in-chief of CBS news. Earlier this month, Paramount announced that it had…
John Oliver taking Bari Weiss and The Free Press to town was appreciated. She’s such a hollow fraud: her success just reflects how hollow and fraudulent the current ruling class is

13.10.2025 02:50 — 👍 327 🔁 34 💬 18 📌 3News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."
One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."
Bari Weiss making plain she knows as much about journalism as Elon Musk knows about government. What will be the CBS equivalent of USAID?

Screenshot of text: Thiel had kinder words about Tesla CEO Elon Musk, according to the recordings, calling the entrepreneur, who has recently praised Christianity, one of the “smarter, more thoughtful people,” he knows.
Peter Thiel is such a devoutly unhinged liar that mentally or morally normal human beings have real trouble grasping that he never, ever means a single thing he says, so it's helpful when he throws in one that's so blatant as to give the whole game away www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

“When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognise courageous defenders of freedom who rise & resist. Democracy depends on people who refuse to stay silent, who dare to step forward despite grave risk & remind us freedom must never be taken for granted.”

Come out in support of a brave and principled AG who is now being politically targeted as retribution for her lawful duty of holding Donald Trump accountable to the law.

This is how unhinged they are.
It's beyond saying the quiet part out loud--it's screaming it from the rooftops.
