Science and scientists are close to the most trusted institution and group in the fucking country! Enough with this talking point--the American people of all political persuasions do trust science! The republicans somewhat less so, but that's because they're being actively propagandized!

Democrats will come across like a focused grouped robot who is just telling voters “positions” you think they want to hear. Most regular people don’t vote on issues. Running with values and a point of view that is true to yourself, even if voters disagree, is always a better path.

This morning I am thinking about how in 2021 I gave a very big invited talk at a very big tech company that runs a very popular search engine about how the NYT was actively promoting transphobia via their search results. And they kept prioritizing the NYT in trans-related search results anyway.

Voter turnout in my town was still low. It has consistently been that way for municipal elections. Other towns were the same except for Gulfport. This election was hotly contested, and vote turnout was higher than usual. Again, no change is coming if you don't vote.

#ProudBlue I hope they really do go forward with these investigations. I believe that the tariffs were just a way to make Trump & his minions richer The video is in 3 clips because it’s too long to post, but it’s good. They believe the tariffs were a way to get countries to use StarLink.

Somehow the "We need to support policies that are popular" crowd never land on the very popular polices like "taxing big corporation more," "making health care more affordable," or "paying teachers more." It's always just "be 10% more racist."
