Anti-Trump vote and Dobbs abortion ruling boost Democrats in 2022 election Many Democrats and independents voted partly to show their disapproval of former President Donald Trump, exit polls show. They were also dismayed by the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and send the issue of abortion rights back to the states. These issues drove unusually strong Democratic turnout in a midterm election and, in a big surprise, gave Democrats a slight edge among independents. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/anti-trump-vote-and-dobbs-abortion-ruling-boost-democrats-in-2022-election-11668007073

Clearly you have no acquaintance with the facts: "In April 1919 Fascists and nationalists burned down the offices of the national Socialist daily, L’Avanti!, in Milan." " Local Fascist groups were soon founded in Emilia, Tuscany, and Puglia and by autumn 1920 were busy not only breaking up strikes but also dismantling Socialist and Catholic labour unions and peasants’ cooperatives and—often with police collusion—overthrowing newly elected local councils. Fascist squads, dressed in black-shirted uniforms and often financed by landowners or industrialists, used systematic violence to destroy these organizations.

Facebook owner Meta expected to announce major job losses

In his message to employees, Zuckerberg said he accepted full responsibility for the situation that led to the mas firing. Which is B.S. If he really accepted responsibility for his errors, he should have fired himself. -
You've even got the topic wrong. For your benefit here it is again: "Climate Change Threatens Things Americans Value Most" So let me try to explain again why your claim that you are not a climate change denialist makes no sense. You claim that human efforts can have no effect on climate. If that's the case then you must believe that the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases generated by human activity have no effect in intensifying climate change. If you don't believe that, but rather accept the greenhouse gases are causing intensified climate change, how does it make sense to say that human activity to reduce the generation of greenhouse gases can have no effect? Clear now?

Looks like Musk is pigging out on humble pie: The Six Biggest Takeaways From Musk’s Groveling Call With Twitter Advertisers Amid a mass exodus of advertisers, “Chief Twit” Elon Musk took to his newly purchased social media platform on Wednesday to assure companies that Twitter will remain a safe space for their brands. In an hour-long livestream, known as a “Twitter Space,” Musk cajoled advertisers with promises of robust content moderation and account verification practices. The billionaire faces a formidable challenge: shoring up Twitter’s revenues without alienating the highly vocal band of right-wing users who initially celebrated the acquisition. https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-six-biggest-takeaways-from-elon-musks-groveling-call-with-twitter-advertisers Musk fans should note his "promises of robust moderation". -

Historically speaking, it's a very poor showing. And as the partisans at Fox News confessed, it didn't feel like a win to them. Remember that up until the elections, the right wing was confidently predicting a blowout. -

Really? You think the Republicans still have a shot to five more seat in the Senate and 44 more seats in the house? -
Lying, huh? Do you actually read what you write? You just asserted that humans can do nothing about climate change. Or maybe you forgot because your comment was posted so long ago? Practically an entire day! If it's impossible to anything about that means you reject the concept of human-caused climate change. Defying expectations, CO2 emissions from global fossil fuel combustion are set to grow in 2022 by only a fraction of last year’s big increase Thanks to record deployment of renewables and EVs, the CO2 intensity of the world’s energy supply is improving again after worsening in 2021 when the economy rebounded sharply https://www.iea.org/news/defying-expectations-co2-emissions-from-global-fossil-fuel-combustion-are-set-to-grow-in-2022-by-only-a-fraction-of-last-year-s-big-increase
