And I ask loudly and publicly, is their lack of willingness to stand up to Trump due at all to the fact that at least one of their donors are also part of the exact child rape crime syndicate that Trump is?
What really angers me about Indivisible are their policy directions.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Okay yeah, I’m gonna push back on this publicly (and as always, do not dogpile or you get banished to the cornfield)
When you *spend money* to back Christian nationalist movements, that makes you a Christian nationalist, I don’t care how good your fucking burgers or chicken sandwiches are.

That's fine. See my comment about Chik-Fil-a and Hobby Lobby, but it doesn't make them the very specific and evil Christian nationalist. We need to stop giving them grist for the "oh, we're oppressed Christians" mill and keeping demonization to those demonstrating the actual shitty behavior.

Hey Teaflings.
How are you all doing? Me? Not so hot. Things are *tough* out there. There's uncertainly, and so many other emotions. Everything feels like it's in constant flux and there's no end in sight.
I feel you.
Sales are down over 40%. I find myself stuck in some pretty gnarly spirals. >

Me being a broken record on this: Don't trust consumer-facing "AI" for anything.
A federal judge in Wyoming received a motion citing nine cases. Of the nine, eight don't exist.
When she demanded an explanation, the lawyers said their "artificial intelligence platform ‘hallucinated’ the cases in question."
