“Riches are not from an abundance of worldly good but from a contented mind.”
— Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)
From what I can tell, virtually all federal and the vast, vast majority of state and local Democrats do not agree with this. They are only silent because they are waiting for the nonsensical police defunding/abolition movement to burn out rather than inflame and prolong the fire of stupid with unwarranted attention. If it does not blow over or diminish over time, expect them to break their silence.
Let's be clear: silence is not consent, no matter how many idiots on Twitter and Facebook say otherwise. That line reminds me of when people accused John Goodman of agreeing with Roseanne Barr's tweets because he didn't respond to people on Twitter, even though John Goodman doesn't have a Twitter account. He later came out and stated what should have been obvious to anyone with a working brain:

@fishbowl I'll indeed consider it!!
If you use Youtube, or Invidious often on desktop then I'd definitely recommend FreeTube (https://freetubeapp.io/) as an alternative client. Using invidious or a local API as an implementation it doesn't connect to Google APIs, so less risk of corporate data mining!
Spent some time today working on the toast feature for the Vue rewrite (https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube-Vue). The current client is pretty great but the new version is shaping up to be better visually and functionally from the ground up.
@pschwede Holy guac! How did that happen?
@Krinsi The term in English is "asymptomatic case" or "asymptomatic infection". A Spanish-language misnomer should not distract from the fact that asymptomatic cases can still transmit the virus, and a person who gets the virus from an asymptomatic case can easily be symptomatic.
But looking at your posts about the supposed "PLAN-DEMIC" and other such conspiritard science-denialist tripe, I'm not optimistic that you will respond at all reasonably.
Good ideas for why & how to share plane tilings to K-6 #math students.

According to an investigation by earthsight, #IKEA is buying illegal wood supplies from Ukrainian mountains. The interesting part is that this wood is certified as sustainable by FSC and IKEA promotes it as eco-friendly.
Sadly, #FSC is not that trustworthy after all.

What is it about Florida and people being batshit insane‽ How are so many #COVIDIOTS able to exist in one town meeting, and how are people so profoundy stupid as to believe that masks hinder oxygen intake‽

@orange_in_space Is it wrong that I feel schadenfreude over this?

The rich, diverse, free web that I loved — and spent years in an Iranian jail for — is dying.
Why is nobody stopping it?"
