Yeah, it also doesn't read at all like how actual people write or talk, especially young people messaging each other.

Doesn't look credible at all.

So we have a steady roll up civil unrest brewing in America. Constant onslaught of disinformation and a fascist administration. Far Right protests springing up in the UK with Russian asset Elon piped in calling for the dissolution of parliament and saying,“Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you. You either fight back or you die...” Far right protests in Australia and New Zealand. Maple MAGA clowns pushing to end Canada. India participating in war games with Russia. Russia sending drones into NATO countries.

Seems pretty fked up.

United we stand, divided we fall.

I think Maxwell said there are multiple current cabinet members on the list. She is not very reliable though.

The former head of the CDC that wormbrain fired is testifying before the Senate today

Monarez says that Kennedy's comments about her during a recent congressional hearing were "not accurate"
Monarez: "Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were were inconsistent w/ my oath of office. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the scientific evidence. He also directed me to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy without cause"

Republicans are changing RICO so they can target left wing organizations as hate groups. It really is becoming Nazi Germany all over again.

I wonder how long it takes for Democrats to realize this means them too.

They really don't seem to have got it yer.

In the last few days there have been two lynchings - a black man and a homeless man, in the United States. Trump has run his mouth disparaging homeless people. Fox News said homeless people should be put to death. And now 7 people were shot at a homeless encampment in Minneapolis.

But it’s the left spreading violent rhetoric…

Trump couldn't care less about places like West Virginia. He won't bring jobs back and he actually took health care away from a lot of them. And yet.....some people there will still vote against their own self interests and vote Republican again. They'll watch Fox news and go online and read about how horrible Democrats are and vote for their team again. Rinse and repeat.

The label applied to Bernie and Zohran is so poisonous. What they are trying to do is just connect with people and try to understand what problems they're facing and thinking about how they can help them.. while also pointing out that the entire system is rigged against them. Both the democrats and the republicans are not going to truly help them.

This is happening everywhere. People are switching to right wing politics because they're saying they'll help them - conveniently scapegoating immigrants as they do so.

Yup. It's the sense of abandonment. As it states in the video, Democrats held West Virginia for 80 years. The GOP were always the corporate party, never cared. The Democrats, through Bill Clinton, became the 2nd corporate party abandoning these people. The Democratic establishment isn't interested. The GOP aren't either but they at least go there.
