When one man, Elon Musk, can pour a QUARTER OF A BILLION DOLLARS into buying elections, we have to ask ourselves: 👇 Are we still a democracy, or have we become an oligarchy where the wealthiest buy the power and the rest of us pay the price?! VOTE to save democracy! 😎🇺🇸✨

Zelenskyy might be saving our democracy. The mad genius is bombing Russian data centers linked to FAKE NEWS bot farms. Without them, Putin’s midterm influence will accidentally fall from a 30th floor window. I 💙 Ukraine 🇺🇦

This Day in History... October 1, 2017: Gunman opens fire on Las Vegas concert crowd, wounding hundreds and killing 58. Or, as Republicans refer to it, "American exercises his Second Amendment rights." #ItsTheGuns

The pi-hole people (in fact, any company or OSS project making an internet router) should add a blocker to all the different AI systems so that if a computing-device tries to connect to one, they get this as a response:

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m old fashioned, but the sitting president has all but declared war on states that didn’t vote for him, and I feel like the media should be talking about that every once in a while, right?

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo worked hard for 35 years to send all three of his American citizen sons to college. He was driving to work through a popular neighborhood when ICE agents killed him. He was shot in the abdomen and lay moaning while no agents helped him.  He had no criminal record.

According to Vincent Price, when he and Peter Lorre went to view Bela Lugosi's body during Bela's funeral, Lorre, upon seeing Lugosi dressed in his famous Dracula cape, quipped, "Do you think we should drive a stake through his heart just in case?".

He faked another assassination attempt? He's turning "near-death" into a multi-chapter grift. First one was theater, this one's straight fanfic. Bullets are CGI, wounds are makeup, and the only thing getting assassinated is whatever's left of his dignity. He can't even stage a decent hoax anymore.

Last year, Trump & Republicans cut Medicaid & the ACA by $1 TRILLION under the guise of "fighting fraud."

Yet Trump has issued 15 pardons to healthcare execs & others who defrauded $2 BILLION from taxpayers. 
Kicking millions off their care while actual fraudsters get off free.

Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.

The lying. The deflection. The arrogance. The shifting rationale in support of an illegal war. The refusal to consult Congress. The fact that he casually discusses draperies while American soldiers are dying. The cowardice of a political party that won’t take action to stop his rampant lawlessness

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

I somehow got on the “Don’t vote because Dems have never done anything for anyone” algorithm and I want off. That’s just too much stupid for anyone to have to read.
