IF this deal is what it appears to be and IF it actually holds, Biden has exceeded my expectations again.
Really don't think anyone could have done better.

If a store pulls inclusive merchandise after threats from a violent conservative group, you stop shopping at that store. They’re cowards who value the business of the few more than the business of the many. Sure, they’ll say it was to protect staff, but we have people we all pay with taxes to do that. If Target is too cowardly to call the cops and get these folks tossed from the store, they don’t deserve our business.

Elon Musk might not be a serious person, but he is a very serious white supremacist.

MAGA voters want their own children "protected" from realities like extraordinary young poets like Amanda Gorman AND prevent YOUR children from learning about her too.

Fine if they want to pretend reality isn't real for themselves, but they do not have the right to impose their ideology on others.

Climate scientists flee #Twitter as hostility surges

Policies aimed at curbing the deadly effects of #ClimateChange are accelerating, prompting a rise in what experts identify as organised resistance by opponents of climate reform.

"On #Mastodon, “I haven’t had any abuse at all or even people questioning climate change. I think we’d become far too used to it on Twitter… I had blocked loads of accounts over on the #birdsite”, she added."

Our most basic right fundamental freedom is the freedom to be. This is deeply dangerous! No angry mob should be able to bully a business from serving everyone! #Pride

The larger picture is one of far-right violence aimed at imposing a white supremacist theocracy on the country, with the mainstream media normalizing and denying it.

If you think Americans won't stand for this then tell me, where's the red line? When are the good people of this country going to start standing up against #fascism.
