Screenshot of a Substack note by account 'JoJoFromJerz' that says: 'In a sane administration, the FBI Director doesn’t go on the morning news to prove he’s not a drunk, the Defense Secretary doesn’t quote Tarantino to prove he’s a man of God, and the President doesn’t take multiple cognitive exams to prove he’s not insane.'

None of this is normal.

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

Who? Never heard of them.

For the Right, they want power for power's sake. Not to help the people they are supposed to represent.

Is Alberta…okay?

Danielle Smith’s UCP government has been neglecting cost of living issues so she can gerrymander elections, bully trans kids, privatize healthcare, enact don’t say gay laws and more!
