No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.
So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

lol people who reduce ENTIRE disciplines to the people they don't like/agree with annoy me a lot. For example, lots of people will define economics by the problematic men in the field when the field is quite expansive.
Takes like these are just super lazy and quite unproductive.

A new study finds stronger state gun laws in the US are linked to lower firearm deaths, especially suicides

I was stuck in the familiar story of barely making a dent in my student loans under the federal program. I wasn’t likely to get student loan relief, so I decided to refinance. I went with Earnest and now I’m months away from freedom. Read my thread to learn why I love them…🧵

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.
