Let’s not water down the term “traitor” during, well… you know.

As long as it’s more and not less.

Plus it’s a great opportunity for dozens of trolls to push a republican narrative on social media. Maybe a message to anyone left-leaning to stop voting.

He had his green card. He protested against Israel. He’s now in jail, somewhere unknown.

The judge said he couldn’t be deported because he’s a resident, but he’s still in jail.

The numbers in that “bullet ballots” post were lies. They were convincing if true, but they just weren’t true. North Carolina didn’t have 7.1% bullet ballots, for instance, and the swing states weren’t significantly different from their surrounding states, as he claimed they were.

Part of the reason that post sounded so good is that he gave easily verifiable numbers. But those numbers didn’t verify.

This is the Clinton-era way of thinking. A losing campaign must have done everything wrong, and a winning campaign must have done everything right.

AOC’s district leaned way more heavily towards Trump. Either they cheated literally everywhere or the results were valid.

There was a misleading post about “bullet ballots”, but if you looked into the numbers they didn’t check out.

Even in the Cabinet it’s probably just Tulsi Gabbard that is guilty of treason. The rest are just idiots.

Now the Senate, however… There must be a reason impeachment hasn’t happened.

As long as there’s a clear confirmation dialog.

Afaik that’s mostly FUD and was debunked.

I’m still not happy with Mozilla throwing money down the AI toilet.

Besides that, Thread is pretty low-bandwidth and low-noise. It’s designed to sip battery life from devices.

2.4Ghz just allows it to be built into tons of devices without an extra chip. Every Google Hub, Alexa, or Apple hub supports it.

WaPo has changed to dark mode.

What if you didn’t realize there was a line and just went to the front?

We still need people to perform basic functions, and capitalism is a way to do that. “Renting humans” as it were. I think we can certainly raise the minimum a fair bit. Higher minimum wage works being everyone up. I think we could and should get the working week down from 40 hours to 35. That takes covering a full seven day week from 4.2 shifts to 4.8 (or five with a bit of overlap).

Agree on the estate tax. It used to be a thing. Republicans had ground it down over the years, and just recently finished it off.

Universal healthcare does a ton for freedom and entrepreneurship.

When you spread the money thin, it does run out quickly. But I think we can still afford those things if we just actually tax billionaires and corporations. And stop taxing payroll more than capital investment. Usury is a sin. Anything that makes money from having money needs a big leash.

And of course money nearly all the way out of politics.

I’m not looking for a radical change from what we had before.

Can you imagine if anonymous social media was allowed to influence elections?

Democratic socialism with a heavy fucking leash on Capitalism is likely the best system.

Braces for tomatoes

This sounds a lot like “I’m immune to propaganda”.

You… do understand that the point is the problems with our social media and our geopolitics, right? It’s not something that’s gonna actually change.

It’s more like a trusted authority would know your name and your pseudonym, and only your pseudonym and your country or county would display online.

They’d make sure you’re not using ten accounts to reinforce each other, and make sure you’re representing the country you say you are. Ideally, like medical records, the more detailed information would be secret.
