They were bought, sure. But without “winning” elections, MAGA would never have had this wide open a field.
We should have the WH and both houses of Congress. I will go to my grave believing 2024 was stolen.

MAGA World Is So Close to Getting It Gavin Newsom’s parodies are riling people up—and they don’t quite seem to understand why.

This is terrifying news.
Anyone with a history of SMI, or someone is undergoing evaluation should absolutely not use Chat GPT or any other chat bots.
Check on your loved ones who live with these conditions.

Your library friends are being asked why they must indoctrinate children with stories about a tiny percentage of the population.

Your library friends keep reminding people that it's okay for other people to exist and live their own lives.

Exactly. We ignore there idiots at our own peril.
