The lure of Elon’s alternate reality for his followers is so powerful that he will tell them that pulling books off shelves, deleting words from government websites, and banning programs for their kids based on words they used is all part of fighting back against censorship. And they just let him

What the fuck does this even mean? They are just terrorizing millions of hard working Americans for sport. Trump and Musk are the most anti-worker public leaders America may have ever produced.

People with doctorates are the most liberal and progressive. The entire mission of destroying academia is to eliminate entire voting demographics. They explicitly spell this out. Shutting down PhD programs isn't an accident, it's the goal.

Two years ago, doing a sieg heil in public was an immediately fireable offense for every single at will employee in the US. Now if you loudly say "Doing a sieg heil makes you a Nazi and that is bad" is the kind of political speech that corporations hate for their employees to participate in

Your weather app gets its info because of NOAA. Your mail arrives at your home because of USPS. Your plane navigates the skies because of the FAA. Your food is safer -- and we get alerts when it isn't -- because of USDA. You hear about earthquakes worldwide because of USGS.

Because black people are often assumed unqualifed by default, black people that make it to the top of anything are usually the best humanity has to offer due to the extra scrutiny. That makes it hard to claim to care about merit and be a white supremacist at the same time.
