Very interesting study from German researchers who found “that the default feed of X showed more content from far-right AfD than from other political parties”.

Latest comic: Critics to ignore

CRITICS TO IGNORE 1. Pundit: The Democratic Convention failed to speak to America's barbarian-curious young men who just want to drag women around by their hair. Helmeted man in furs in the background dragging a woman by her ponytail Pundit: Will no one think of them? 2. Elizabeth Warren was too wonky and full of boring plans. Kamala Harris is all style and no substance. Why can't these ladies ever get it right? 3. Dems calling Trump and Vance "weird" is extremely alienating to those of us who believe in civility. Why can't they stay positive? 4. What is this "joy" of which the Democrats speak? Everyone knows a winning campaign is a miserable slog!

Latest comic: A second Revolution?
#uspol #elections #fascism #authoritarianism #democracy #election2024
1. After the Supreme Court ruled in favor of presidential immunity, the head of the highly influential Heritage Foundation said this: Roberts wearing Project 2025 pin: "We are in the process of the second American revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be." 2. All pro-democracy Americans are being put in the role of domestic abuse victim. Man in armchair drinking beer threatening wife walking by with laundry basket in background - Woman, don't make me angry and I won't hurt you. 3. By this logic, the opposition is always the provocateur. Young man in red ballcap with AR15 after having shot protester who was holding DEMOCRACY NOT MONARCHY sign - The protester made me do it! 4. So if you're not on board with insurrection, you're the insurrectionist -- not this guy. Insurrectionist - It'll be bloodless after there's no left left!

“Choose your leaders
with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward
is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool
is to be led
by the opportunists
who control the fool.
To be led by a thief
is to offer up
your most precious treasures
to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask
to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant
is to sell yourself
and those you love
into slavery.”
― Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents, 1998

An image of a black woman, wearing glasses, with a determined look on her face (writer, Octavia Butler). Next to her image are the words: “Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.” ― Octavia E. Butler Parable of the Talents
