Joe Lonsdale is just one of several billionaire techno-authoritarians (Thiel, Musk, Andreessen) pushing dangerous neo-reactionary ideas and using their wealth to hijack democracy. They embrace speed, disruption, and raw power. I wrote about this ideology in February. theirontorch.com/the-dark-enl...

Isn’t it terrible when Democrats parrot MAGA talking points to attack their own? Gallego might want to remember that echoing right-wing propaganda is how you lose elections. Fox News loves nothing more than Democrats attacking Democrats. It will be on an endless loop.

That's usually a safe assumption under a Republican president. I think what they missed was the fact that Trump is delusional, especially when it comes to tariffs, and unlike last time, there are no grown-ups in the room to stop him.

Yes, it puzzled me at the time...and still.

Huh? My point has nothing to do with race. I am merely saying that a rally is different than a voting precinct. Republicans don't care who has water at a rally. Nobody is voting at a rally. Restricting water or refreshments at a voting precinct might result in people going home and not voting.

Handing out water at a rally is different than at a voting precinct. With voters, the goal is to suppress votes by making voters stand in long lines with no access to water, especially in black & brown districts. Terrible and racist, but a rally is different.

When Republicans get power, they appeal to their base, ignoring half the country. When Democrats seek or get power, they twist themselves in knots to appeal to Republicans, taking their base for granted. Progressive Democrats have no voice, regardless of who is in power. 🤬

I lost a young, healthy brother in December 2020. While it's impossible to prove a counterfactual, I truly believe that my brother would be alive today if America had an actual president when COVID hit. There were tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths. Biden turned that ship around.

Trump was the president at the start of the deadliest pandemic to hit in a century. Instead of waging a response like any other president would have, he chose to downplay, deny, ignore, and lie about it because he thought it would help him politically.

There's not much worse than a "bait and switch" politician.

What a cutie! Just curious...does your kitty have glaucoma? We have 2 with that—same eyes.

No worries. The Democrats are "fighting back." 😂
