If the Dems featured this guy in their 2024 ads, they might get their messages across. #BetterPoliticalCommunication
📍Wilkes County tonight y’all! @Staley4NCSenate had me so excited to see him represent Senate District 36. Darren’s someone who’s benefited his entire life from the work of Democrats. We’re going to remind folks next year which party really fights FOR the people. ✊ #ncpol

Replying to @LanceBennett1
@LanceBennett1 and I wrote about hydroxychloroquine back in 2020. We tracked how this misinformation narrative started and took off. Cannot believe it is happening again in China.
Can’t believe this shit. With China dropping zero Covid policy, some people started to recommend hydroxychloroquine for people to treat themselves.

The next US civil war is already here – we just refuse to see it | The far right | The Guardian theguardian.com/world/2022/j… This is depressing, but the reality is likely to be even more distressing unless those who still care about democracy can join together and act.
