It's absurd how effective it is whenever there's push back on the far right, they just double down and normalize the once extreme. Here's the incoming VP praising AfD and attacking a Ukrainian pro democracy journalist.

The most perverse thing about these far right and neo nazi inspired terror attacks is that the far right just spins it to their advantage. They either dismiss it as a psyop or still blame immigrants or trans people. This is despite their ideology directly…

The terrorist who attacked a Christmas market in Germany was a militant AfD supporter and Elon Musk fan. Elon says AfD, a far right neo nazi party in Germany is what is needed to "save Germany." [contains quote post or other embedded content]

The continuing resolution axed by Elon and co included a SNAP benefits extension. Now that it won't get passed soon, families will literally be going hungry during the holidays because of the world's richest man.

I really don't think anyone understands just how bad it is that the world's wealthiest man, who bankrolled the incoming president, is an open neo nazi supporter. He's capable of inflicting so much damage with no means of holding him accountable.

So the bluesky head of trust and safety saw that a trans user created a bot to track his activity and it caught him liking a porn scraper bot. He then banned the her and banned the bot. This is some moderators madness level idiocy. [contains quote post or…

The result of puberty blocker bans means trans youth are just skipping to grey market hormones, not managed by a healthcare provider. So the result of bans is care that is not managed and worse for everyone involved. This is why gatekeeping doesn't work.…

Reminder that the debt ceiling goes back into effect January 1st. We have anywhere from 3-6 months before a default. If Elon whipped against raising it on Twitter, he could help usher in a second great depression.

It's kind of bad that since August, the fed has dropped the fed funds rate a full percentage point while the t note yield has gone up by nearly a percentage point in the same time. The market is pricing in market instability and inflation.

Breaking, supreme court grants cert to tiktok for oral arguments on the ban on January 10th. Ban goes into effect January 19th. They did not stay the law and this is lightning fast by SCOTUS standards. I think this is a bad sign for tiktok.
