I noticed that I only had 5 GiB of free space left today. After quickly deleting some cached files, I tried to figure out what was causing this, but a lot was missing.

Time to take off the kid gloves. Part of the problem is that the Democrats have never really fought hard against the far right, the way they, for instance, fight against any progressive candidate that might rock the boat. They’d rather hand the country to the fascists than upset their sponsors.
