This is journalistic malpractice. The Biden admin was working on Parkinson's policy.

Breaking News: A Parkinson’s expert visited the White House eight times in eight months from last summer through this spring, according to official visitor logs. The administration has said that President Biden has no signs of the disease.

Pretty cool to see a sitting U.S. Senator on a panel with a white supremacist who was, again, LAST WEEK, sitting next to Alex Jones all week to promote his book

Just to be clear, this is Silicon Valley VC bro/Musk acolyte David Sacks coming down on the side of the Le Pen family, whose patriarch called Nazi gas chambers a "minor detail" of history and whose ex-wife alleged he nicknamed Hitler "Uncle Dolfie" while snarling "The Jews are invading France."

It’s amazing the extent to which our billionaire tech bro overlords are just telling us out loud that they are rooting for fascism. Makes me slightly nostalgic for the days when American plutocrats plotted against democracy in secret.

Fascists want you to roll over and not exercise your rights. And one of those rights is to vote. Use it, protect it, fight for it.

So voting is better than *not* voting when it comes to getting what you want? Huh.

We gotta do the same thing here to complete the set

The far right have been beaten in the UK and France this past week. This is promising. This is progress. Fuck those fascists.

Das sind die klimawandelleugnenden religiös verbrämten Faschisten der USA, die die Welt in den Abgrund reißen werden, wenn man das nicht JETZT verhindert. Sie drohen offen mit Gewalt und teilen die Welt in wir gegen die. Sie schreiben Trumps Regierungsprogramm und haben den Supreme Court gekauft.

Yes, this. But also two weeks ago this outcome seemed unlikely. We have time. Not infinite time and our system is more unwieldy. But time.

in a world with a rising fascist tide this is the only way forward until we can figure out how to turn it around it can be done things don’t have to be as bad as possible

"I am willing to live with a result that is acceptable but not my ideal outcome for the next two years in order to prevent the worst case scenario" is seriously encouraging to see
