The only people who need to buy voters are those who are either unqualified for the job, or completely unworthy to fill a position of trust.

Or both.

Idk about you but I’m getting tired of elected Democrats just telling us what we already know with no transformative and viable guidance on how to resist. @democrats.org seem to want us to shed blood but without being blamed for it. At least tell us

Difference between Chinese engaging in censored apps and Americans is Chinese know their algorithm are lying to it. Tik Tok is creating sheep out of Americans. Don’t let yourself. Will be off being busy but take care and breathe! Okay now, 😈

My own opinion is that it's good to signal (through words and/or actions) the virtues that you value; that's one of the most important parts of maintaining a healthy community.

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.

Just saw a no-longer relevant evacuation notice on instagram from five hours ago and remembered β€” that’s right, due to hyper-monetization every major social network no longer shows you life-saving breaking news as it happens.

They turned it over to an algorithm that finally noticed β€œhe likes fire.”
