I don't throw around terms like nazis, fascism, or Hilter casually. I'm using them only after months of careful research into how democracies collapse and an effort to prove today's Republican Party wasn't actually turning fascist.
The research proved the exact opposite.

one of the most ominous papers i've read, where ppl training AI to discover ways to improve human health instead go "hm, i wonder what happens if we just flip the direction of training from 'help' to 'hurt'"

A home makes up 62% of the average middle-class family's wealth.
Every year they're taxed on that asset's unrealized gains via property tax.
Billionaires' wealth is in stocks. They borrow against the value at near 0% rates and aren't taxed.
Tax rate
Billionaires: 8%
You: 14%

***99.93% of fully vaccinated Americans have not tested positive***
Breakthrough Covid cases: At least 125,000 fully vaccinated Americans have tested positive cnb.cx/2Wv0nJM
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This article itself provides the context that this tweet lacks: this number of people experiencing a breakthrough infection is a tiny fraction of the vaccinated; the vaccine protected 99.93% of those vaccinated from getting infected. t.co/BidajDV9nL

We’re witnessing an all-out assault on our democracy — and we need to act swiftly to protect the sacred right to vote.
