@Lobster When psychological manipulation is amplified through carefully orchestrated propaganda in order to achieve goals defined by the cold hard calculus of power and greed then it becomes obvious that someone has realized it is an exacting science.
But, alas, this is just my humble opinion based on observation.
Mathematical science shows what is. It is the language of unseen relations between things. But to use and apply that language, we must be able fully to appreciate, to feel, to seize the unseen, the unconscious.

Tbh, I don’t think he knows either. As a lifelong Californian and Bay Area resident I’ve seen him swing all over the place. Like, in 2004, as mayor of San Francisco, he legalized same-sex marriage, and the lawsuits surrounding that were what made same-sex marriage legal on a federal level. As governor, he’s done a lot to protect us from Trump, esp in the wake of firestorm disasters. He wouldn’t be so widely hated by maga if he weren’t doing good things. HOWEVER. Ever since he decided he wants to be president he’s been….idk. Different. Like, he hosted that godawful podcast platforming horrible people. His strategies surrounding homelessness and fire prevention got dark. He’s failed to protect us from the feds, though he’s trying. He did get Prop 50 passed, which balances out Texas’s gerrymandering. I think he wants to “both sides” things but can’t, bc the other side is literal fucking nazis, but he’s trying to attract moderates and non-voters, and doesn’t seem to know how…? Just my guess. 🤷♀️
They’re only shooting and targeting people in smaller cities and states like Minneapolis because Los Angeles, Portland, Chicago and New York would destroy them.
Just to be clear.
*edit:
Portland is smaller than Minneapolis, but Portland is aggressive with the anti-fascism.
“Although we cannot accurately predict…new infectious disease outbreaks…” Actually Jay, to some degree we can. We can predict that as vaccination coverage declines, infectious disease outbreaks will accelerate. So maybe stop generating misinformation about vaccines.

Is your representative a traitor who voted NO on the ACA tax credit extension.
The clean extension of the Affordable Care Act may have passed the House, but 196 Republican legislators voted against it — disregarding the welfare of the millions of Americans who are at risk of losing their health care coverage.
We must call them out and hold them accountable. Send your representative a message. Register to #vote
They canceled the Minneapolis LEGO Robotics tournament over general safety concerns. Not that the tournament was even targeted; it’s just so ICEy here.
The kids had made custom T-shirts for their teams and everything.
I know this is just one little thing, a footnote to what’s happening, but…fuck all the Nazis.

As someone who has walked out of a job because my principles mattered to me more, I just can't empathize with the cowardice evinced by GOP lawmakers. The quality of your character is the most important thing there is, and to jetison so thoroughly is humiliating and deeply sad.

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A 56 yo survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
