It’s been a busy day! Now first time for some sleep

Goodnight my dear friends ♥️

Always feel like people come out of relationships like other used products:

1) New & Improved
2) Like new
3) Gently used
4) Previously owned
5) Scratch and dent sale
6) Clearance
7) Best offer

In the case of the 2016 election, it was also a huge dose of sexism. The number of people who "just couldn't vote for Hillary" was staggering given Trump's many, obvious, massive flaws.

Also throw in a dash of dirty NRA money and Russian troll farms to skew the narrative.

But you're right, always a HUGE dose of racism. Trump made it "acceptable" for many - and they loved him for it.

From @DeanObeidallah - Trump has already made millions off his mugshot - but the copyright belongs to the Fulton County Sheriff. The Fulton County Jail needs millions to renovate....🤔

This is the kind of antisemitic abuse that Babka folks sadly endure. For discussing whether or not Thoreau washed his own clothes, not just one, but all of our users are subject to this kind of attack, accusing us of dual loyalty, being racist, hidden agendas to groom people and a hidden agenda to destroy the Fediverse.

This is the kind of abuse that I suffer, that our moderators suffer, and that our users suffer, merely for existing openly as Jews.

"Even the clergymen who established the first Catholic seminary operated a plantation and relied on enslaved laborers. ...

Yet enslaved Black men, women, and children remain invisible in the origin story traditionally told about the emergence of Catholicism in the United States.”

Wow. It's almost like airlines are ruthless tyrants. I mean, potentially added to the no fly list for complaining about this? Where's all the freedom of expression warriors on this one? Oh wait, corporate overlords are fine, right right right...

I cannot fathom why any reputable person, news organization, or public institution would still want to be on ‘X’, if Elon Musk allows “free” speech for neo-NAZIs, but bans the ADL. #antisemitism

As we've discussed, Republicans don't really care about abortion per se. It's a fake issue that they manufactured solely in order to consolidate their political power.

Therefore, their cruelty against women has no endpoint. The GOP will never judge that abortion rights have been sufficiently curtailed and then rest on their laurels.

Anyone who says they're voting for a third-party candidate, or not voting at all, is announcing that they're okay with this cruelty.

Why didn't Ron DeSantis meet with Biden to accept Hurricane aid?
Chris Christie's Obama handshake.
As my friend Macacawitz said,
"Christie will never live down this act of gratitude and common decency. No place for those character attributes in the MAGAt party"

Compare to Trump, who made Governor's grovel to get COVID supplies. (Remember that?)

#Biden #DeSantis

I don’t understand why the media does interviews with Vivek Ramaswami. He makes shit up! He spews BS conspiracy theories. His racist rhetoric will get someone killed! Yet numerous media outlets have given him 5 minutes of air time to talk shit & lie like Trump. He’s never going to be president. He’s a fool and a grifter. I will turn the channel when he comes on.
