Freedom from kings.
Freedom from fascism.
Power to the people forever. ♥️

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

A small sampling of why Elon wants to eliminate federal watchdog agencies...

Maybe they’re buying them as Christmas presents for people. Might even get TS to sign them
