EL-SAYED: RFK JR. was in town this week. He said that the 500 million Arabs in the world had never contributed anything to science. But to be fair, he is an expert on people who never contributed anything to science.

The NY Times will publish a hit piece on the Democratic Alaska senate candidate six days before an Election but won't mention a new rape allegation against the President of the United States.

Trump and the GOP's real base of support — billionaires, Big Oil, Big Tech, Crypto, AIPAC & Wall Street — know that the midterms may limit what they can get away with in the future. That's why they are pumping record sums into this election. But remember: Organized people can beat organized money.

Detroiter Nicole Williams when asked if Abdul El-Sayed is ‘a bit too left wing to win in Michigan’: “At this point what do we have to worry about? Anything but what we have. We're on our way to hell, so at this point: socialist, socialize, social, dont matter to me, lower my cost of living!”

it is hard to sell how effective this was. the far right here was completely lost in the past two weeks because *nothing* of their tried and true methods to dictate public opinion and the media were working. even bot farming views to pump the algo did jack shit

One of my biggest takeaways from the post-election reporting from Brazil is a confirmation of something I’ve been saying for years now: The way to defeat the algo is to amplify our own candidates, not rage bait post about the far right. Seriously think about how many big name accounts are built

I will not forget that Zuckerberg and Facebook shut down the accounts of the most popular presidential candidate in one of the largest democracies in the world, and he was elected anyway
