The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance. (Karl Popper 1945) @mcuban.bsky.social
Why are Trump supporters not wanted ? You dont have to follow them. You can block them. You can filter words. Don’t you want @bsky.app to have all perspectives ? I certainly do.

As long as it’s civil. Why not welcome different viewpoints ?
I don't understand Trump supporters. Why come where you are not wanted. It's odd. Witness me syndrome in the worst way.

At a time when our politics feels broken, we need leaders like @mikiesherrill.bsky.social for Governor.

Mikie will work to create jobs, lower costs, and do what’s right for the people of New Jersey.
What percentage goes to red states?
FACTS about SNAP:

-35% to white people (largest share)

Retired couple (teacher & union carpenter) on ACA premiums skyrocketing — from $443/month to $2,224/month: “It's like buying another house and trying to pay for two houses at the same time… without the subsidy we honestly don’t know what we’re gonna do.” #TrumpShutdown

Must view Shutdown Update
Late last night Dems filed #SNAPBackAct legislation to prevent SNAP funds from being cut during a shutdown & to reimburse states that are trying to reappropriate funds to cover the gap. ~ Rep. Stansbury-

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Dear republican congressman:

You just got another week off, you have absolutely no plans since you were going to be in dc.

How about some town halls? If you do three, that’s a total of 6 hours of work the whole week. Easy peasy!

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House.

Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.
