Bannon saying it tells me he’s leveraging the fear factor, not the reality. He know the Dems are feckless.

Every Republican must be held to account, and shunned as a supporter of the racist and misogynist actions by our government.

Gotta love a for profit health care system that books up specialists 3 mos out- cuz universal health care would lead to long waits for service!

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

Probably not a bad idea to check in on your local election folks to verify their plan to prevent Elon from fucking with the tally.

Perhaps when groups of humans get large enough the society’s ability to control antisocial people erodes and the sociopaths are allowed to con, and eventually gain power and wealth, and move the society into capitalism- inevitably leading to wealth hoarders

Happy Saturday! Reminder it doesn’t have to include genocidal ghouls of the status quo, either! Let’s work toward something better- there is enough for all.

I’d like to see talk of strikes at the munitions plants where the military buys its arsenal. Are those workers super well-paid and happy with the results of the life’s work?

I agree she did what she could, which was sub par. She was never a good option, as her failed attempts in primaries revealed. But don’t blame voters when Dem party malpractice is just sitting there, begging to be noticed.

I heard a report that the US plans to stop all air travel into and out of Iran by strong arming nations where their flights land. I couldn’t help but think of how the US tried to fence in Japan in the 30s and how they reacted.

Studies and experience have shown that policies that the vast majority of Americans want have nearly zero chance of being considered by the Congress. They don’t work for us.
