Calling morality, justice and ecological stability "left wing ideology" is just... Wild.
The world has gone mad.

Interesting to see how these ideas of who and what the threats we are facing is evolving.
Billionaires tax seems popular and the Mamdani, UK greens + @garyseconomics.bsky.social movements are clearly growing.

A tweet from Nate Silver that includes a data visualization of the most engagement on Twitter accounts with Right wing accounts in red. The chart is mostly red with all the biggest circles in the middle being red.

Thanks for spreading the word 🙏🏼🖖🏽🫶🏽
