I also spoke on this at the protest today, and almost everyone agreed that we need younger people in positions of power (majority of crowd was older folks). One older guy started yelling I was causing infighting in the Dem Party by saying “primary everyone,” then angrily stormed away.

More and more, you are going to find yourself tricked by misleading headlines like this one. From the article itself: “Moore said he’s ready to engage in conversations about repairing the legacy of slavery now, and he doesn’t need to wait two years for the reparations commission to draft a study.”

BREAKING: Former President Joe Biden has announced he’s been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The family says it’s aggressive and has metastasized to his bone, though they are seeking treatment. My thoughts are with him and his family.

“Trump has traditionally done well with lower-information voters, so it is perhaps not surprising that they are more inclined to support his presidency. …. [These voters] had one thing in common: They were much more likely to get their news from social media.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Some people have been asking about my Feb. 26 post (that I took down) that supposedly suggested violence because I mentioned review bombing or blowing up the phones. I’m going to recreate it exactly as it was. As you can see, especially in context, that’s a ludicrous claim to make.

Trump has set up a new club where CEOs, tech bros, and foreign oligarchs can pay $500,000 to join in order to get access to the Trump Cabinet who will all be there regularly. Just because the grift is all public doesn’t mean this isn’t the most corrupt White House in history.
