“Happened to”?

There are literally an infinite number of ways to strategically fight back. Some take mass unity; some take coalitions of small, autonomous groups who trust each other and are willing to do things that have never been done or do things that have been done but in new ways.

“Fight back as they have” — We don’t have military-grade weapons. It takes creativity to fight back. Overt violence will only land you and anyone naive enough to follow you in federal prison for life. Look at history.

Given that it’s Trump, we know whatever he’s playing is meant to gain Trump more power or money.

I think the thing is to be strategic about what you do, not to do nothing. This is where it gets into prisoned for life, killed, or disappeared territory.

One more example of how heroes are fallible. Never stand too close to their pedestal.

Americans already have to prove citizenship to register and provide valid ID to vote. All you are doing is making it harder to vote for ordinary people who are balancing family and work responsibilities. Ordinary people lean left. Voter suppression didn’t go down well in history books; nice legacy.

They’ve got enough to sweep up the spoils, unfortunately. This will actually be good for most of them in the long run.

He couldn’t even pass the same citizenship test immigrants have to. Freedom of press, buddy. It’s essential for democracy.

Who? Without checking Google, who do you actually know playing women’s sports on hormones?
These are scapegoats for real issues.

I don’t understand what they mean when they say “shutting down the government.” Isn’t that what they’re paying Musk’s tech brats to do?

They just need to do the right thing and pre-vandalize their own car. Plenty of great anti-musk designs out there.

I think most of us would hack off our left pinky toe if we had to give it ALL up. I wanted to take a stab at the whole of Meta for the Ides of March but will have to settle for a poke. I have community groups on Facebook.

Is this you? Love it. These would help the hundreds of people I see each week coming in with concerns about being hacked.

I’m practicing analyzing phrasing after reading this article and think “Department of Education is cruel and illegal” might fit her criteria here.

I saw a video of a worker speaking at one of Bernie’s recent rallies about Costco organizing. I wonder if this is a result.
