As a result there are many Americans who actually believe there is carnage in Texas (there is not), that crime is rampant (it’s down from Trump), or that inflation is a nightmare (more nope).
This emotional, “news” has permeated everyone — it’s not just Republicans, it’s everyone (I’ve read the polls and it’s depressing).
Propaganda has the ability to change minds even when the facts say it is untrue. A lie can go around the world while the facts are still putting on shoes.

Something mainstream media won’t report:
There was a Zoom tonight for Black women organizing for Kamala Harris.
The call had a max of 1000 people. They hit it immediately, and got a hold of the Zoom CEO to help.
40,000 people joined. For over 4 hours.
Trump is soooo screwed.

When events turned against him, President Joe Biden gave his full support to his Vice President, Kamala Harris.
When events turned against former President Trump, he tried to get his Vice President hanged.
There's a real difference.

More like ... the media "put a spotlight on his capacity to campaign (and serve another four years) that never went away" [when they should have focused on the other candidate's lie-a-minute performance].
VOX -- Biden is quitting the 2024 race. What in the world will happen next?

Feels like we've seen this play out before
Oh man. There's "my company effed up" bad, and then there's "my company effed up so bad Pete Buttegieg had to put on a suit and speak to reporters" bad. Thinking kind thoughts to all of infosec tonight...

J.D. Vance claimed he left Yale Law School #120,000 in debt.
Excerpt from "Hillbilly Elligy" disputes that.

Biden doesn't inspire people because he's not exciting. But that's what I want. I don't want to see a president on TV every night because he is driven to do or say something more outrageous than whatever he did yesterday. I want him to go to the Oval Office and do his fucking job.

Ok.
So first of all, if Biden stays, I'm voting for him even if he's on life support. Period.
If he steps down, whoever takes over, we all need to rally behind that ticket and vote bluer than republicans moldy ball sacks straight down the ballot.
No fucking around.
Because it's the only way to defeat the republicans and force them to wipe their asses with all 900+ pages of project 2025.
Are we all on the same page, here?

TFW you come back from a long vacation and realize just how many of your colleagues you really, really, really do not like or want to deal with. At all. Even their chat messages make you twitch. #badsign

“Microsoft has concluded diversity is ‘no longer business critical’ and has laid off staff working on inclusion initiatives, a former employee has claimed.
The technology company has disbanded a team working on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies because of ‘changing business need’”, according to the former Microsoft team leader.”
Unite the White, Microsoft?
Apparently it can get by on straight white men.
