How Zohran Wins: show up to the primary if you're a registered Democrat in NYC or vote early (early voting has already started). It's very important you reach out to as many like-minded friends and family as you can and tell them to vote in the primary. When they fill out their ballot they should if at all possible put five names on the ballot but they should NOT put Cuomo's name on the ballot at all, not even last. When it's election time I'm loud as heck about it, I ask people if they need a ride. I've been thanked before because people who I thought would be guaranteed voters actually needed the reminder and said they wouldn't have voted if it wasn't for me. Please try doing likewise. Never assume someone is going to vote. Always ask if they will.

Filling out the ballot fully and excluding Cuomo's name on the ballot is very important because he's a sexual harasser and because he'd likely lose the general election. It's going to be a tough general election because of Adams running as an independent. Cuomo and Adams are similar in a way so NYC needs someone who's different. It's basic marketing, kind of like product differentiation.

Each rule we change fixes some of the rot. It's like a journey. Think of it like walking from California to New York. It's not something that happens in one day. People may tell you that you cannot do it, but you can. Those who put in the work will be rewarded. Passing an inheritance tax would be like successfully walking from California to Colorado. Not there yet but you made progress.

Except with politics it's easier, instead of needing to do the whole walk ourselves we can each contribute a small amount of walking based on what's within our means and that walking we contribute collectively adds up to the journey and together we can achieve the journey much easier.

I really hope the passenger or passengers are OK. Being stuck in a burning car has to be one of the worst ways to go.

This is why it's so sick that Musk puts profits over safety. Elon Musk doesn't care about the people who burn alive in his cars. If you drive a Tesla this could one day be your fate and you may not be able to escape. Teslas are designed to shut off power in a car accident yet they also use electric door handles. See the issue with that? They do have an emergency escape option but in an accident with all the adrenaline and emotion it may be hard to find them or use them. Certain Tesla models do not have an emergency escape option in the back. Please do not have passengers especially children in the back if your Tesla doesn't have an emergency escape.

If for some reason you own a Tesla: please for your own safety regularly practice exiting the vehicle using the emergency escape. I do not want this to happen to you or anybody. Also I know a car is a very major purchase but if it's well within your means or something you could afford without a big impact on your finances you may want to consider getting another car when you can.

It's a complex issue but I do believe that what is in the poster is true or mostly true. I say mostly true because in 1941 they had "the strongest, most explicit and most widespread protest movement against any Nazi policy since the beginning of the Third Reich". They were protesting against Aktion T4 which was a policy to kill many disabled children.

Imagine if the protests were stronger against the Nazi regime?

The Grayzone has suspicious ties to Russia.

The Grayzone publishes questionable material, stating that a Chemical Attack did not occur in Douma, Syria OPCW investigator testifies at UN that no chemical attack took place in Douma, Syria. They have also promoted conspiracy theories, such as claiming that Pete Buttigieg is a CIA agent. There is no evidence to support this claim. Finally, according to Radio Free Asia, The Grayzone content is frequently shared by the Chinese Communist Party media outlets “CCP propaganda is also increasingly laundered through Western influencers and denialist fringe media outlets like The Grayzone,” the report said, adding that, between December 2019 and February 2021, The Grayzone was cited at least 313 times in Chinese state media.”

Finally, The Grayzone promotes conspiracy theories involving George Soros funding regime changes, and the editor Max Blumenthal claims that Bill Gates ran a Covid simulation before it occurred. This is false. In general, The Grayzone promotes a socialist left perspective that promotes conspiracy theories and pro-Russian/Chinese propaganda.

Falsely claiming that there were no chemical attacks in Syria is a hallmark of Russian propaganda.

Even if this article is correct I would avoid giving them your clicks because of their weird ties to Russia.

If you want another source Snopes reported on this as well: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/us-army-tech-executives/

I will fight hard and do everything I can to ensure that it will end with Trump. I hope you will join me in doing what you can to put a stop to fascism.

I'd rather we nip things in the bud, defeat fascism earlier and avoid millions of deaths. My point was to think about what we can do different this time so we won't get the same treatment because we resisted and stopped Trump.

Boycotting Twitter and all of Musk's companies is now more urgent than ever. Grok is going to be even more rigged to spew out hateful nonsense.

It's a minor thing but linking directly to x.com helps supports Elon Musk's Twitter by showing ads and forcing people to sign-in. Twitter is allowing hate speech and neo-Nazi content.

You can consider using a Tweet viewer such as xcancel.com or nitter.net, just replace the domain name and keep the rest of the link. This helps people view the Tweet you wanted to share without needing a Twitter account.

For example your link would then become: https://xcancel.com/TheDavishi/status/1447409928184811526

Remember that Musk-owned Twitter is allowing neo-Nazis on that platform and linking to Twitter supports the website by showing advertisements and forcing people to sign-in.

Consider using a Tweet viewer instead of linking directly. This lets people who don't have an account view the Tweet you wanted to share. For example use xcancel.com or nitter.net.

Your link would then become: https://nitter.net/SuppressedNws/status/1935560648622223726

If the people you subscribe to are not ones who monetization is important you may want to consider reaching out to them and asking if they'd consider cross posting to PeerTube or another YouTube alternative. They may appreciate not putting all their eggs in one basket and reaching new potential fans.

If Republicans want to play that game Democrats should hold hearings on Trump's mental fitness. He's the one who's actually in office and the one who clearly has cognitive decline.

 

The article makes a really important point:

Reble said he became aware of Uline’s support for Trump through an Etee customer.

This shows the power of contacting companies who are still using Uline. If you receive a product shipped with Uline products please contact the company and tell them that there are lower cost and more ethical alternatives to Uline.

For example here: https://bsky.app/profile/geneha.com/post/3low65f4zac2d a Canadian man was able to literally cut his costs in half by switching away from Uline.

The website https://refuseuline.com/ has a list of Canadian alternatives to Uline. Scroll down to the section labeled "WHAT ABOUT CANADA?".
