Reagan and Thatcher rose to prominence once no could remember the Gilded Age. Glass-Steagal was repealed when no one could remember the Depression and look where we are now that no one can remember World War II...

We really need to stop acting like we can shame, logic, and argue our way out of the situation we’re in. A lot of people are essentially saying “but that’s illegal and unfair!” to a mugger taking their wallet. You have to reframe your expectation that this is all a courtroom with an impartial jury.

My little soap-box on this is that "social media" is a term invented to describe for-profit platforms. Fidonet and Usenet were *social* media. Discussion groups were *social* media. Facebook--and all its imitators, including Bluesky!--are advertising platforms.

Yup. Not kneecapping Zuck when he started monopolizing with Insta and WhatsApp, and then after Cambridge Analytica was a terrible, terrible mistake. Should have done the same when Goog ate YT too.

We murdered four more people in a boat today
U.S. southern Command: On October 4, under the direction of #SOUTHCOM, Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere executed a lethal, kinetic strike on a go-fast vessel operating along established narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean. Confirmed intelligence revealed the vessel's active involvement in narco-trafficking. The operation killed four narco-terrorists. @DeptofWar

It’s so easy to spot a Nazi pretending to be a liberal in order to try to normalize hating trans people. They genuinely have no idea what actual liberals talk like.

I don’t know. Americans are very comfortable in their little houses, with their little jobs making their little salary. I honestly thought there would of been more protests by now. People are just afraid enough not to rock the boat. A see a lot of comments like yours but very little action.

#Montana, The attack ads targeting Sam Forstag are complete lies. Who’s behind it? No Going Back PAC Inc is directly connected to trump’s MAGA PAC. Flint is a Trump bootlicker and these ads use the same lies about trans and drag queens. Your kids are much safer around a drag Queen than a Republican!

A Michigan rabbis' 'nonnegotiable' petition demanding El-Sayed disown Hasan Piker reveals a harsh truth for El-Sayed: that no amount of pandering will satisfy critics who want anti-Zionism expelled from the Democratic party outright.

She would be proud. My condolences--I lost my mom when she was 93. It seems strange to mourn someone who has lived such a long and full life, but that also means we've had them around us for so long. Lucky and grateful, but still sad to see them pass on.

Put another way, Ford wants to spend more on removing bike lanes in Toronto ($48M) than he's spent protecting all of Ontario's businesses from an international trade war. Ontario deserves serious leadership, that follows through on promises, and actually puts people before profits.

They took away Medicaid from my 82 year old mom. They don't answer the phone and when she showed up in person, they refused to talk to her and told her to go home and call them. She got her low income senior housing because she qualified for Medicaid.
