Those people complaining about Kamala Harris possibly entering the race are also the ones who complained that she didn't face a real primary and that it should have disqualified her from running in 2024, if you are one of these people I really don't want to associate with you, and I'm not going to.

Remember, Mr. Rogers' original comment was intended for CHILDREN. Children need comfort, and their power is obviously very limited.
We're adults. We do need comfort, but we also need to take action. And what you'll find is the more you do, the better you'll feel. Look for the helpers and join them.

An important addendum to "look for the helpers" is "and then join them."

Yep. Twitter is now a right wing propaganda site designed to funnel "A.i." fascism into every available maw and direct harassment at everyone who's not a Nazi. It's useless and the "centrist" clowns who want you to go back there are just spinning their wheels and panicking because they have no home.
It is true that Bluesky will never be Twitter, it’s too American and too culturally homogenous, but even if you dumped every current BlueSky user back onto X The Everything App™️ today, you still wouldn’t get Twitter back, because the tools & principles that made it work were broken by a rich toddler

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

Miller's arguments are that "Third World" can't assimilate and that 1965 immigration act unraveled social cohesion.
But these are absurd claims. I took them on here. If you want to talk "social cohesion," Trump/Miller are doing more to erode it than immigrants are.
