Ken Paxton just gave an Epstein-style deal to a pedophile. Paxton released Adam Hoffman — an admitted child rapist — back on our streets after Paxton’s rich lawyer friend got involved. The Epstein Class has no place in Texas. Ken Paxton has no place in the US Senate.

regarding the solar panels on parking lots/fields thing. farmers need electricity too. oil/gas uses up/destroys more agricultural land than solar does. I never hear people saying we should frack parking lots.

america died in fewer than 250 years, the american empire died in fewer than 100 years, and american democracy didn't even make it to 60.

"It takes 30-50 years to get get a single mile of high speed rail up in California, but a tech company can pay off all the politicians in your area and plop down a data center in two months even though your entire community shows up against it. You live under a dictatorship of capital.
You live under something insanely un-democratic."

My fiber internet has been unreliable lately, ever since Verizon purchased it. sometimes it goes out for several days at a time. Luckily Verizon has a new modem which includes a 5g connection! for just a subscription fee my internet can be reliable again. capitalism solves problems folks.

people can be wrong too but at least we can admit it and take liability & responsibility for being wrong. if LLMs can't admit being wrong & take responsibility/liability for it then they are less reliable than children.

soon it will be 20 years since Obama's election. and the dnc legacy for the past 20 years seems to just be eschewing fdr-style progressivism, letting down their voters, and paving the way for trump's version of "yes we can" and "hope and change"

if trump does deploy the military to Asia again then, well, thank you for your service to the oil industry. there would be no all-time-highs and ever-increasing dividends without your sacrifice.

I see people saying solar energy will bring peace to the world. I think it's a good way to generate support for solar energy, because people want peace. but to those of you who are warmongers, also remember that solar energy won't bring peace & you can support solar too along with the pacifists.

strange how liz Cheney disappeared after she helped trump win by associating herself and thus her daddy dick Cheney with the dnc candidate.

if only the republicans cared about America's present and its future. they are so obsessed with America's past. their own past. an entire party of people who only fear the future and what it will bring. people who see no place for themselves in the future.

I don't see any right-winger saying guns should be banned because they can be harmful to children. the first amendment is stronger than the 2nd amendment. the first amendment threatens the power of the ruling class.

roughwriters.bsky.social @roughwriters.bsky.social · 26/03/2026
banning books because people worry about their harm doesn't save anybody from anything. if somebody doesn't like a book then they'll stop reading. this only hurts people who want to read the book.

roughwriters.bsky.social @roughwriters.bsky.social · 26/03/2026
rightwingers keep talking about how books can be dangerous to children. just saw some article where a chatbot 1984 removed from a library because could be upsetting to children. reading is an active task one has to continually choose to do... if a kid is upset by a book then they'll stop reading.

ICE reveals their faces in airports for the same reasons why guns are banned from airports. the secret police and gun violence is just for the average american, not the wealthy ones.

should also mention the act was repealed in 1943 under FDR. and in the modern era it's the southern rural people, the rightwingers and confederate sympathizers of the current era who would eagerly support a new Chinese exclusion act. trumpers nowadays are deporting and arresting asian people.
110
roughwriters.bsky.social @roughwriters.bsky.social · 23/03/2026
the east newspapers praised Arthur's veto of the first act. you should note the republican president vetoed the first act because he decided the 20 year ban was in violation of a treaty and then reluctantly signed the second act which was a 10 year ban. he didn't agree with banning Chinese workers.

the south has always been the goal of what the elites want. the north is everything the elites fear.

roughwriters.bsky.social @roughwriters.bsky.social · 23/03/2026
it's important to note the 1882 Chinese exclusion act was an even split in congress. not really an republican majority. republicans since Lincoln and grant had been steadily moving towards a rightwing party dedicated to money and corporations. republicans in 1882 were already betraying Lincoln.

roughwriters.bsky.social @roughwriters.bsky.social · 23/03/2026
that's why "rightwinger" is the best term for these folks because rightwingers defended the crown and the monarchy during every revolution against aristocracy

arguably southern rural ideology didn't even originate in the american south. they are merely English loyalists who worshipped kings and queens from the 1700s.

roughwriters.bsky.social @roughwriters.bsky.social · 23/03/2026
here's something you need to understand. any political movement needs an enemy. the southern rural ideology is your enemy. these people are not friends. friends of southern rural ideology are people who assassinate Lincoln for ending slavery. make enemies of your friends and you will be alone

KKK also reached new heights of popularity during Obama and Biden. the north has always had a lot of confederate sympathizers. one of them assassinated Lincoln and thought he would be heralded as a hero. southern rural is more than a location. it's also an ideology people can have anywhere.

roughwriters.bsky.social @roughwriters.bsky.social · 23/03/2026
the south also held the majority of the country's money back during the antebellum period as well and you understand money's relationship to power in this country

roughwriters.bsky.social @roughwriters.bsky.social · 23/03/2026
southern people moved all across the country for free land and there were a lot of confederate sympathizers in the north too.

so the "productive talks" the republicans mentioned is just Iran informing the republicans they would retaliate against Middle East desalination plants. what a productive discussion.

roughwriters.bsky.social @roughwriters.bsky.social · 23/03/2026
let's be real, the southern rural people have been hating america ever since it elected Lincoln and took away their slavery and their racism. nothing we can do about that hatred.

basically brit Hume's tweet is saying "the left hates trump for no justifiable reason because we all know trump is saving america"

roughwriters.bsky.social @roughwriters.bsky.social · 23/03/2026
brit hume is wrong though, I hate him because he's killing people and ruining people's lives. he can post whatever he wants about mueller and any public figure. brit Hume's tweet here is still a defense of trump because he ignores the harm he causes which is why we hate him. brit hume is a liar.

pretty much the most important issue of our time since our food, water, and shelter is dependent on the weather. cities are where they are because that location has access to clean water and food. any city which loses its clean water due to the climate crisis is as good as a ghost town.

dnc can't keep falling into the trap of defending contemptible incompetent assholes just because trump attacked them. mueller was a republican who protected trump the best way he knew how to do. sabotaging the investigation and allowing it to be partisan without his vociferous dispute.

farmers turned on themselves tbh. I don't understand why they vote for industrial capital, commodity monopolists, the banks that perform the foreclosures, and the politicians who guarantee mass resentment. perhaps the reason is they wanted to sell their land to the banks for millions.

republicans: "you can't rely on solar and wind because sometimes it rains" nevermind how we rely on solar power to produce all of our calories and oxygen. and solar power is more abundant than fossil fuels (which are fossilized solar power btw). but iran & republicans prove oil/gas is unreliable.
