BTW There's a major IT shift happening throughout Europe. Countries are breaking ties with US based tech companies, and creating EU based services, with an emphasis on privacy. You might want to look into what's going on.

That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.

I'd ask all of you and @jcbslide.bsky.social to think about these questions: Can we know what’s true? Can we debate and decide fairly? Can we hold power accountable? If you answer "no" to those questions, then I'd argue you aren't living in a functional democracy, just a performance of one.

I really wish rather than saying, "Kash Patel is bad," Dems would say, "If Kash Patel kills investigations into corruption, right wing terrorism, and Russian spying, you will be responsible."

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

Valentine’s Day is the perfect day to remind everyone that a vote is not a valentine, you aren’t confessing your love for the candidate. It’s a chess move for the world you want to live in.

You are up to date.
