I could be wrong but pointing out that Republicans are, in fact, Nazis, and then explaining in detail why they are Nazis, might be an effective line of attack!

Great piece by Lisa Needham for Aaron Rupar’s Public Notice: Trump meme coin investors, including rich foreigners, have lost $3.81 billion but gained an opportunity to bribe the president of the United States. It’s mindblowingly corrupt.

People watching the student protests in France and fixating on the rioting instead of asking why the protests are happening are like gnats mesmerised by a light bulb. The students’ core demands are incredibly basic. That’s what should be amplified, addressed and resolved.

This also demonstrates a pattern across multiple states. Alpha failing to meet standards set by state accreditors then turning to suspect political actors to attempt to forceboot their tech for students, parents, & teachers who have demonstrated no demand for it.

Five years ago, when a Seattle burger chain raised employee wages & benefits the Reicht wing lost their minds, screaming the result would be $20 burgers & the company would end in bankruptcy. Today, the chain is even more popular than ever. Never let them try to tell you a living wage can’t work.
