@mlipsitt.bsky.social Marcie, thank you for adding me to the 47 starter pack. I followed all.

There is so much market manipulation going on in this administration.

Let's fossilize fossil fuels, literally and figuratively.

Fossil Fuels Are Not The Future….

The Republican Party cannot be forgiven because they will not learn their lesson. Republicans are becoming more ideologically right wing every year at the same time the rest of America is going the other way. There is no other way than to make them a permanent electoral minority.

There is a good chance that Trump’s election ends up being a net positive for liberalism and liberal democracy worldwide because the Right started losing everywhere in the world after he was elected, including the US itself.

This one. He is HUNGARIAN.

Because something like this went viral and I thought it was hilarious, all of these people have a "Slavic look" but one of them is NOT Slavic. Which one isn't?

Exactly. In fact, Hungarian has been described as one of the most unique languages in the world.

Strange but true: Hungarians aren't Slavs.

The MAGA Republicans & their voters have selfishly decided it’s their country & they’re not going to share control of it with “the others” living here. Vote against MAGA like your life depends on it because it does. Stephen Miller’s actions are hateful “lite” genocide.

Other political parties have gone extinct for similar reasons. The Republicans may net be next.

What is this?

The existential dread associated with the timing of this neo-fascist protest really comes through. Thankfully there were 1000s of anti-fascist protestors in attendance. www.france24.com/en/europe/20...

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

they cannot be forgiven because now or in the immediate future, they'll be paying for close analysis of his ups/downs, wins/losses...... SO THEY CAN COACH THE NEXT STOOGE PUT IN TO DISTRACT WHILE THEY STEAL, EXACTLY WHAT TO DO/NOT DO If USA does nothing, this happens again. And again. And again...

Creep.

Let's Talk Elections, a nonpartisan election channel, agrees that Republicans are in big trouble. Let's make sure it stays that way until 2030 and beyond, at least as long as they stay on the "Trump Train". youtu.be/Nc7Lgjw9JIU?...

This whole "age verification" push is a violation of the US Constitution's freedom of speech and presumption of innocence clauses among many other things around the world.

Poland has been in the spotlight for accusations and rumors about xenophobia. Meanwhile the reality:

The irony of the Electoral College is the Founding Fathers created it so that the president would NOT be elected at all, because they thought the people were not smart enough and a body of independent people should deliberate over it as judges. And they may not have been wrong.

That is kind of by design: conservatives usually prioritize themselves and history even if that is not the best for humanity.

In polls of every US ally, people would prefer to work with China than a Trumpism-dominated US. I wonder if we will have a leftist golden age around the world, especially in Europe, because of Trump making conservatism more toxic as a brand.

Me too.

Do you think Donald Trump will still go to prison if Democrats win the presidency until at least 2036? Be honest.

2026 needs to be a landslide loss for Republicans. I hope the redistricting ballot initiative in Virginia passes in a landslide.

Conservative SCOTUS justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito are NOT planning to retire this year. If Democrats flip the Senate this year, a more liberal court is in reach assuming they maintain the presidency starting in 2028.

“They’ll never close the Strait again” lasted a solid 10 hours. Masterful negotiation (read: market manipulation) from Trump

Good day everyone! I feel better now. I was feeling a little sick this morning but I am fine now.

Placing the blame where it truly belongs.

The US government is racist. We are sending them to the Congo because ICE wants to torture them and they are not allowed to in the US so they send them into a country that will accept bribes.

Terminally online check:

I have always hated sports culture but realizing that most categories of sports fans lean right politically solidified that opinion.

This is unlikely. However it feels plausible given corporate greed and a desire to control devices.

One thing that scares me about Secure Boot is it could be used by Microsoft in the future to block Linux (or any other non-approved OS) from booting by forcing it on and only signing their own boot keys. There are no reports right now but I could imagine microsoft pushing it if they get desperate.

OS level age verification is an abomination.

We owe them literally nothing.,

I absolutely HATE lawn mowers and leaf blowers. It is so unnecessary and bad for the environment. Sometimes I want a nap and then they just start blasting.

This may genuinely be the biggest Democratic win in an equivalent district in a House election ever given Morris County is ancestrally Republican like most wealthy suburbs and is still kind of right leaning, meaning if you go back 100 years, the Republicans would dominate here.
