The concerns are true but if people leave Twitter for Bluesky it’s still an improvement because Elon uses the algorithm to boost far-right content and he has your data.

16 Democrats were absent. If 9 of them would have showed up both bills would have passed. Sources:

https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2024491 https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2024490

The list of Democrats who didn’t vote on both of the measures is the same. Here is the list:

  • Earl Blumenauer
  • Jamaal Bowman
  • Jasmine Crockett
  • Henry Cuellar
  • Dwight Evans
  • Lizzie Fletcher
  • Ruben Gallego
  • Jimmy Gomez
  • Raúl M. Grijalva
  • Ted Lieu
  • Kevin Mullin
  • Marie Gluesenkamp Perez
  • Katie Porter
  • Mikie Sherrill

Wikipedia explains who they are very well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GiveSendGo

GiveSendGo is a Christian crowdfunding website.[5] GiveSendGo has attracted controversy for allowing far-right extremists to fundraise, including neo-Nazis, white supremacists and hate groups.[15]

They have also had multiple security breaches.

I researched this exact question. There is a way called deep canvasing https://www.vice.com/en/article/how-to-change-a-voters-mind-is-deep-canvassing/

It’s scientifically proven. Try having a one on one conversation with someone. Listen to what they say and respond with empathy. Then gradually and calmly introduce your message that is related to what they said. For example if the person you are talking to said they are worried about grocery prices and specifically egg prices you could mention that bird flu was the root cause of the price increase and that Trump’s tariffs will raise prices on groceries. Building trust helps your message get across. I’ve had personal conversations with Trump supporters who trust me and you’d be surprised how much success you can have.

Given Elon Musk’s recent meeting with Nigel Farage. it’s obvious that Elon Musk is willing to interfere with politics in any country, not just the US. We must stop Musk’s evil agenda now because otherwise he will keep growing in power and wealth. I have a solution that will help with just a few minutes of your time. We must boycott Twitter and Tesla. For Twitter if you have a social media account you can easily send a DM to your friends saying why it’s important to stop using Twitter. If you use Twitter yourself make a post saying you’ve moved on to Bluesky or whatever app you choose and that you won’t be using Twitter anymore (except perhaps to convince more people to leave).

No country is safe from Elon Musk’s election interference. It’s urgent that we boycott Twitter and Tesla. If you have a Twitter account do the following now:

  1. Send a DM to your favorite accounts and urge them to stop using Twitter.
  2. (If you haven’t already) register for Bluesky.
  3. Make a Tweet saying you are no longer using Twitter.
  4. Tell your friends to follow the same instructions.

These could take as little as five minutes of your time but it will make a huge difference because of the ripple effect. When one person leaves it will automatically incentivize your friends to follow you. You have the power to make a difference.

According to https://library.ucsd.edu/dc/object/bb0000819h yes it’s real and the year it’s from is 1941 more specifically 1941-07-08. You can view what I think might be all or most of his political cartoons here: https://library.ucsd.edu/dc/collection/bb65202085

Of course! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_sexual_misconduct_allegations#Katie_Johnson/Jane_Doe_(1994)

There are lots of allegations against Trump, more than just her.

And Qanon’s choice which is so weird because they claim to protect the children but it’s their guy who’s the one who’s not protecting our children.
