WOW what??

"Interestingly, several antihistamine drugs, including clemastine, astemizole, azelastine, brompheniramine, and ebastine, which have been approved for treating allergy symptoms without side effects for decades, have been found to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection or replication via protein-protein interaction analysis or drug library profiling (30–35). Another study revealed that the use of azelastine was associated with a reduced incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection based on an analysis of over 219,000 electronic health records"

When you're watching early election returns, pay attention to Nevada and Arizona.

If the Republicans take those, and they also take Pennsylvania, they don't even need Georgia, assuming they also get NC (which is mostly assumed at this point)

You know what I think about a lot ?

That this is violence. This is a type of violence that does not start with fascism, but I promise you, it's a type of violence that is BOOMING under fascim.
Your neighbor, your colleague, your ex, your abusive ex-parents, will report something about you. You will not have done anything but displease them ; it will just be a way to exert revenge by proxy. But you will suffer. And you will be demonized. And you will have to prove the unprovable.

@futurebird
I wish I had your confidence. Look at Florida, they did go through with their laws against migrant workers, and now the food producers are in shambles because they can't get workers.
I could entirely see a new Trump admin doing something as evil and petty and self-destructive, just to get one over on "the libs".

A man who literally tried to overthrow the government is running for president and everyone is out here treating it like it is normal. 1/6 was a coup. Trump and his cronies planned it and executed it. Just because they failed doesn’t make it ok.

What the fuck is wrong with the American media? (Rhetorical question, they are a bunch of nepobaby fascists)

We should all be terrified of Trump’s Project 2025.
The Project 2025 playbook was written by more than 20 officials who Trump himself appointed during his first term. If he has “no idea” who they are, he’s showing an alarming cognitive decline.
