The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

You could teach an entire suite of economics classes based solely on what’s happened at Twitter
dieworkwear.bsky.social derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 4d
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
A Twitter account called Ivanka News tweets an AI image of a young woman wearing Muslim garb. The woman is holding a sign that says "I came here illegally. Should I be deported?" Ivanka News writes: What is your response to this person ?? In the "About this account" tab, it appears the account is based in Nigeria An account called MAGA scope writes: Who, in your view is the great enemy of the United States? Communism, Islam, Democratic Party, or Satan? The account is based in Nigeria. An account called MAGA Nadine writes: You go to work and find this. What would you do? The attached pic is an AI image that shows a microwave. The microwave has a sign that says "For religious reasons, this microwave is now making halal food only." The account is based in Morocco. An account called America First posts an AI image of Tulsi Gabbard. They wrote: How would you rate your trust in Tulsi Gabbard on a scale of 1-10?

Ladies and gentlemen of Ontario, please take note. Please follow suit.

Population of Ontario: 14,500,000

3.5% of Ontario's Population: 507,500👈🏻👈🏻

Let’s give a little reminder:
Follow along 👇🏻

On the website of the Alberta Federation of Labour READY TO RESIST It only takes 3.5% to change the direction of Alberta Danielle Smith and her UCP government have stripped teachers of their constitutionally protected right to strike and bargain collectively. This is a government that is: → Attacking and undermining public education → Fragmenting, underfunding and privatizing healthcare → Targeting vulnerable minorities → Bringing Trump-style MAGA politics to Canada → Jumping into bed with separatists → Suppressing wages for all Albertans by eroding worker bargaining power This is NOT what Albertans voted for! The Smith government does NOT have a mandate for any of this. When a government breaks faith with the citizens it purports to represent, those citizens have a right - even an obligation - to push back. That's why we're asking Albertans to add their name to the "Ready to Resist" List. We will text you with updates on unfolding, and potentially escalating, protest and resistance action. NOTE: Research shows that it takes just 3.5% of the population, engaging in sustained protest and resistance, to make governments who have lost the faith of their citizens back down. In Alberta, that's just over 171,000 people. Sign up to our "Ready to Resist List" and be part of the 3.5 per cent solution!

He would do a GREAT job of going around the country, being on TV all the time, and putting out Dem messaging on EVERY issue.
