Don't like data? It's fake.
Don't like polls? They're gone.
This is facism in action, folks. Take away the data, take away the facts, and the regime can make you believe whatever you want.

Does anyone else get freaked out by the "Your Flight is Almost Here" emails from airlines 3-5 days out (thinking you've booked the wrong day?) or is it just my anxiety?

2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Finally watched @techconnectify.bsky.social video on YouTube (it's about more than solar panels) and I just want to say:
Thank you for addressing this straight on, not a glancing blow. I'm sick of metaphors and allusions about "unprecedented times"... I hope millions more watch it. Bravo.

The phrase "professional activist" is functionally meaningless. It's a term that politicians and corporate targets have used for generations to discredit anyone who's effectively challenged them. Anyone who deploys it in earnest to discredit deeply committed people is broadcasting their ignorance.
