Thank you! It's okay. Just the nature of the internet. You can post something as simple as "salads are healthy" and get people yelling at you that vegetable allergies exist, lettuce is prone to e.coli outbreaks, not everyone can afford fresh produce, my uncle died from choking on a crouton, etc. etc

No one should be able to spend $45 million a month to get their preferred candidate elected. Absolutely broken system.

News that should shock no one: After assassination attempt, Elon Musk claims he'll donate $45 million a month to super PAC that backs Trump; Bill Ackman officially endorses; other Silicon Valley players and venture capitalists decree the "taboo" of supporting MAGA movement is gone.

For fellow Veterans: They basically call out the PACT act for removal, talk about cutting costs as the Vietnam generation dies off, and focus on politics over veterans. They NEVER care about Vets. They will always use you as props, then toss you like trash. Always. Vet the Vote. Register.

Someone here likened Project 2025 to the DNC email hack of 2016 because they both involve the slow drip of bad news for the party and, while that’s true, Project 2025 is so much worse. Read it now before they wise up and take it down: www.project2025.org

RNC night two is the replacement theory addition. So far, multiple Senate candidates have used their minutes on stage to promote the white nationalist replacement theory, which has inspired multiple deadly terrorist attacks and is a lie that actively threatens American democracy.

also and I feel like I buried the lede here: it calls for the people who CREATE queer media to be imprisoned. That'd be people like me. Or any other queer creator you love. Any queen who's been on drag race. Chappel Roan. Janelle Monae. Anyone who's made a piece of queer media. Imprisoned.

Psst: Project 2025 is terrifying for a lot of reasons but also because on page 5 it calls for teachers and librarians who grant access to books that are maligned as pornography (which just means anything LGBTQ) to be registered as sex offenders. Pass it on.

The authoritarians like Vance and Hawley, claiming to be true believers in antitrust reform are lying to you. They have no coherent theory of antitrust. They just want to punish companies they believe are too "woke" and antitrust gives them a hammer.

Ok yes, Trump is that evil but let's not hate on the postal service. Like libraries, it's one of our country's few actual serious good things that's publicly funded. It provides massive infrastructure the US with collapse without, & employs working class people in solid jobs.

When you engage people in climate solutions, it makes them more supportive of climate action - even in some cases changing their mind about whether it's real and it's serious. I tell some compelling stories of this happening in my book Saving Us but here's the cross-sectional data!

I tend to think the effect of the presidency on the homicide rate is probably pretty negligible, but if Trump wants to run on the opposite premise, this should be mentioned constantly.

Just a reminder: Trump inherited the lowest homicide rate of any president in 50 years. He was the first president in 30 years to leave office with a higher homicide rate than when he entered. And the rate has dropped every year since he left. www.foxnews.com/video/635815...
