I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Isn't the connection between climate & health the crux of Gates' argument? Improving global health will both increase resilience & reduce CO2 production.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

β€ͺ*sigh* Now I have to read a 17 page memo since apparently others won't.

SNAP spends about $10 billion a month. Mutual aid is a woefully inadequate response.

ICE is a pedophile ring. Gassing elementary schools.

Trump ran as a repudiation of the Bush GOP. But he has to honor Republican shibboleths in name, if not in word.

I'd go further, the Constitution is what the people agree it is. The court is subsequent. Regardless, Trump can't be elected president more than twice.

Trump’s tearing down the East Wing to build himself a $350M ballroom while Americans struggle to afford health care.

Senator Ruben Gallego went to the site of the Trump teardown.

They see fascism as a symptom of capitalism. The No Kings demand preserves liberal democracy & is an obstacle to overthrowing capitalism.

The point of bitcoin is to escape democratic control of money. Cypherpunks who think otherwise are deluded & are serving authoritarianism.

Only ostensibly, the a16z vision for web3 was corporate centralization. As is the underlying ideology of bitcoin.

It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it.

In our country, the power is with the people. Tomorrow, October 18, I encourage you to join your neighbors in peaceful protest at a No Kings event.

I guess it's inevitable, but I'm surprised to see them reject not only the enlightenment but also the foundation of Western civilization.
