It's Monday. Hope y'all are having a day! ("Have a good day" seems like a lot of pressure in these times.)
I wrote a thing about
euphemism
the Left
doge
Musk
the destruction of the commons
and trauma.
Here's the first part:

"The Libertarian Forum, edited by Murray N. Rothbard from 1969 to 1984, had a small — even tiny — circulation but it forged the intellectual edifice known as #libertarianism. Month after month, the newsletter thrilled, enlightened, shocked, and awed its subscribers. Everything was on the table. And here are all the issues again, as smart, gossipy, and fresh as they were when they were first written." https://mises.org/libertarian-forum-1969-1984/complete-libertarian-forum-1969-1984 #rothbard #capitalism #liberalism #theleft #theright

GOP Bill Would Stop 'Furries' From Invading Texas Schools
> A Texas Republican bill would prohibit students from cosplaying as "furries" and using litter boxes in classrooms.

Note: It took nearly a full 24hours for the CBC to pick up on the #Democrat #Republican hashtag issue we were all experiencing and reporting on on Monday night. Nice work #Fediverse!!
"Social media users noticed searches for #Democrat, #DNC and other related terms like #TheLeft were not returning any results for at least several hours, while searches for terms like #Republican, #RNC and #TheRight yielded millions of posts.”
"Dann Downes, a professor of information and communication studies at the University of New Brunswick in Saint John, says the hashtags being hidden on Meta platforms so soon after Trump's inauguration suggested it was no coincidence. "

#ViktorOrban’s Auftritt war heute sehr umstritten im #Europaparlament.
Die Abgeordneten von #TheLeft , gefolgt von #verdi und #socialisti standen am Ende seiner Rede auf und sangen #BellaCiao
and before you lies the tragedy of the inflexible #idealism on #theleft, and why it is so #toxic to their own interests
if the left voted as dependably as #MAGA, they would own the #democrats. like MAGA owns the #GOP
instead the left expects perfection, gets frustrated on this or that issue in brittle weakness instead of seeing the big picture and the #strategy, doesn't #vote, and so everyone ignores them
you vote
period
there is no other way to matter
none

Being someone who's a #FormerGOP, I see things in ways that others probably don't. I fear the Left falling into the same cult-trap that the Right exists in now. No one should say ANY leader is above criticism.
But mostly, I'm reminded how #TheLeft was so divided over Hillary/Bernie in 2016 that they felt it was okay to abstain from voting or even to "protest vote" for Trump.
THAT, more than anything, was why Trump won in the #2016Election. Putin pushed divisive social media bots, targeting BOTH the #Republicans AND #Democrats, and the Left obliged him by refusing to unite around and vote for the only viable alternative to insanity.
Please, Dear Lord, PLEASE... Let's not repeat that godawful mistake. STOP BLOCKING each other. Start TALKING to one another.
Just because a person disagrees with you on one topic or another, that's no reason to block them. #Progressive ideology is supposed to be about embracing #diversity-- of people and of opinions.
“Left Alliance to submit motion of no confidence in Purra, Rydman
The opposition party criticised the ministers for their past racist writings and also called the government's proposed policies anti-immigrant and discriminatory.”
