The Dems got confused between the real world and the online world and took positions on immigration and trans issues way out of the mainstream that hurt them in 2024 but MAGA/Elon are clearly making that same mistake right now when it comes to the government purge and budget cuts

Marco Rubio thinks free speech had no role in the Holocaust, but the Nazi's perverted Germany's free speech protections into the Right to Lie. Those lies radicalized Germans so much they enslaved Europe & tried to exterminate the Jewish race. Just like Trump/MAGA/Elon are doing right now.

A must-listen: @daniellemoodie.bsky.social tells it like it is about Hakeem Jeffries & the Democratic leadership. My ordinary everyday family built a backup plan over the past two years in the event of P2025 becoming reality. Why the hell did Dem leaders apparently plan NOTHING to resist en masse?!

This Fourth Estate--what is this Fourth Estate that you speak of? Other than a few indepedent media outlets here and there, I am amazed at the eunuch brigade we have in newsrooms.
