GOP is now against defending democracy. Notice they always replace "democracy" w/ "republic." They've shifted their rhetoric. They don't like democracy & now say so openly. The WA state GOP even voted to put that in their official state party platform. More state parties & the national GOP will, too

Yup. But still running his mouth in violation of the gag order, leading to the serious threat of jail time. Trump really has a hard time grasping that he doesn't get to set the rules for his trial. He seems to now get what he can't post, but not what he can't say. Not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Netanyahu has been actively encouraging a funding stream thru Qatar for Hamas of $billions ($millions per month) for a DECADE to prop up Hamas so they'd continue to block any chance of (🇺🇲's official preferred outcome) a 2-state solution. Last Hamas funding mtg in Doha w/Mossad was 3 wks b4 10/7

I think that now that they have observed the behavior, they'll be keyed-in to know it happens & we'll likely start hearing of more examples & in different species, quite possibly not just in primates, just as we now know many species use tools.
Humans are classified as (clever) primates, too. 🙂

Any complacency is high risk. Biden could win the popular vote by over 10 million votes & still lose the Electoral College vote & thus we could slide into authoritarianism on 1/20/25. We need to all be volunteering to help turn out intermittent Dem voters in swing states. www.joebiden.com/training

It makes the word cloud so much more interesting. I didn't know it for quite awhile after the word cloud was rolled out, either.

Can't say the NY Times doesn't deserve this shade. They fully deserve it & have no one to blame but themselves.
Their poor journalistic choices have consequences. 🤷♀️ Don't know why that surprises them.

As Marc Elias knows well, GOP are working assiduously to infiltrate county & state elections offices/Secretary of State offices in swing states to try to have moles on the inside with access to ballot verification (esp. mail-in) & ballot counting. There's been 40% turnover in elections officials.

If we work hard & win the Electoral College vote (re-elect Biden), & ideally hold the Senate (hard this cycle but let's try), flip the House (that's looking pretty doable) & work to make progress in state legislatures, the GOP will be on their heels!

There's hope!
One of the standard tactics of authoritarianism is to do everything possible to make their opposition feel that it's hopeless to resist their march to taking over.
It is NOT hopeless!
Another tactic (Putin wields power through this) is obliterating a sense of shared truth/reality.

This has POTUS's Social Media guru (I don't know her real title 😁), Megan Coyne's, style written all over it. 👏 She is such as asset.

She was a force of nature! I got to see her perform live twice. She straight-up mesmerized the audience both times. We were all putty in her hands. A truly epic talent.

It's a great word! Pretty versatile, too, depending on the context. 😁
I hear it used sometimes where I live [SF mid-peninsula] (mostly by people for whom Spanish is their 1st language - it's my 2nd language), but rarely elsewhere.
That's why I'm tickled to see you use it in a Spout. 👏
