He's created that in large part because of the media environment around him. Many republicans were upset and outraged on Jan 6th until they heard the fox news, rogan, etc line

Change the media consumption and a lot will follow from there. Changes to which media are more dominate are going to matter more than people think

Notably those other platforms are all views that Joe Rogan isn't getting. They just add to the total. You don't have to top each platform individually to get to the overall highest

The article cited a source on overall views where you can see exactly what they described

So you're saying that looking at Spotify is going to be even more misleading because 100% of Joe Rogan's listeners are there vs not all listeners of other podcasts?

Spotify is not the only way to listen to podcasts

Protests organize people to fight for more

A hell of a lof of people just signed up to do work with groups like Indivisible who are putting in the less flashy work

Protests are a first step, not a last

Then keep up the pressure on them. Make sure they see this all the time and make it hard to ignore

You don't need to win on every issue to get them to bend a little on some

Republican majorities are slim in the house and senate. They can only afford to lose 3 votes in the house and 4 votes in the senate (Vance is the tie breaker if 50-50). Make every one of them feel the pressure

?

I don't understand what else you are asking? The margins are unchanged in the Delaware state senate which that line in the article states. Dems maintain the same amount of seats as these were Democratic holds

Oops fixed the title

Special elections have low turnout typically. Many people don't know they are happening

With the two victories, Democrats maintain their 15-6 majority in the State Senate

From the last line of the article

The current admin is largely following court orders at the moment

There is still a fight to be had. Don't just give up in advance

Judges can't be fired - they have to be removed via impeachment which requires 67 in the senate. Republicans only have 53 in the senate

SCOTUS is insane but they have their own agenda that doesn't always align with trump. They often have and keep ruling against him in a good number of cases. They are far more selective on when to be insane

Fight every fight. It's not over at all

There's way more stuff out there than aquafaba and Just Egg - I should note

Everything from flaxseeds to applesauce to silken tofu (as a binder) or firm tofu (as a scramble) to chia seeds and more

If you can get some Mung Bean you can even get something extremely similar to Just Egg for a lot cheaper

I'd actually argue this is a better sign that they are calling them back - it wasn't for some sinister reason to exert control. Just plain incompetent

They have largely been complying with court orders thus far. I get the sentiment, but repeating this is just normalizing the idea of them majorly violating court orders when we need there to be strong push back if they do

They want you to be apthatic and think nothing will work so you stop fighting back

Related note: There are some good vegan eggs out there to give a try!

If you want something that cooks and bakes like eggs there's stuff you can by like Just Egg

For baking there's a million things you can use that are pretty cheap. For instance, Aquafaba is the leftover water from cooking chickpeas or the water in the can if you buy it canned. Acts like egg whites and can be used as a binder for baking

Reminder that they want to project more strength than they actually have. They are not invincible, they can be successfully challenged. They want you to think they have 100% power so that you capitulate on things they couldn't actually have made you do. Don't give in - fight back

They also found associations with unprocessed red meats too

Unprocessed red meat intake of ≥1.00 serving per day, compared with <0.50 serving per day, was associated with a 16% higher risk of SCD [subjective cognitive decline] (RR 1.16; 95% CI 1.03–1.30; plinearity = 0.04).

They have a large data set, you can adjust for a lot more when your sample size is 133,000

No mention of obesity

They account for BMI as mentioned in what I quoted
