Being against the right thiig for the wrong reasons is still being against the right thing. I've had a few uncomfortable moments with RFK, Jr.

This saying never made sense to me. Sure, the clock is correct a couple times each day but I don’t know that because I already got rid of it and replaced it with a working clock.

"broken" and "stopped" are not the same thing. that's why "even a broken clock..." doesn't make sense. the wording should be "a stopped clock"

a "broken" one could just be a little "fast" or "slow", spinning erratically, or otherwise inconsistent and unreliable, and rarely (if ever) report the correct time.

That’s fine but I don’t listen to a stopped watch tell me what time it is either.

At a moment of heightened chance to set on the path of not being a nazi in the future. (For individual participants, org is still shit obv)

And once again, the right capitalise on an issue that the left should be championing.

The twin headed hydra at it again.

One does the thing, the other complains, we the people suffer the consequences.

The actual group leading the protest. Because I was just hit with a paywall on mobile.

Chair is a former tea party leader. So, definitely conservatives. The people leading these groups can still be pieces of shit. But, the important thing to understand is that there is a real demand for stopping AI within the working class. So much so that even conservative politicians are realizing they have to do something to keep their jobs.
