Are you familiar with the Terminator movies?

This is why I can’t take Mark Kelly (along with the rest of this crowd of shameful cowards what are you even doing???!!!!) seriously. He is unwilling to go from words to meaningful action to stop the authoritarianism.

Data centers owned by the richest companies in the world shouldn't get to dodge paying taxes. We have a budget deficit of over $1 billion annually--we shouldn't be giving them tax breaks. www.axios.com/local/des-mo...

I mean…what…?

Sinema is co-chair of this in her role as AI pusher. Gross

Maybe it's just me, but I think Jews deserve better friends than folks like these who ultimately want most of us to burn in End Times hellfire & stop being Jewish.

Simply put, capitalism has reached a point where such abusive things are necessary to continue the project that it rewards individuals willing to hurt anyone and do anything, creating a toxic feedback loop where the worst people are continually given the most wealth and power.

Of course mainstream media is focusing on the identities of the winners, but don’t fall for it. what made them win was their politics. Affordability. Reproductive rights. Trans rights. Opposition to genocide.

“Nope”! Bring a pro-people, pro-democracy energy or GTFO.

Arizonans should know the asshole Chris Buskirk lives in Scottsdale. Read up if you aren’t familiar.

Lots of wins yesterday, not all of them positive. Arizona has a huge hill to climb, including well funded hate groups and willfully ignorant voters.

Is this more disturbing as a fascist dog whistle or since we don’t really have trains?
