30% of USians are fascists. That's what you should glean from the various polls.

Mhm And foreclosures are at a six year high. Are we great, yet?

How's that 40bn we sent to Argentina working out?

Twitter is saying Elon posted as his mom while trying to post as his dad

NCLB-to-terminal-illiteracy pipeline is complete

inspired by a post I saw on here and have since lost, I've started reading "AI companies" as "cigarette manufacturers," so something like this becomes "maker of Newports backs bill to fund smoking literacy in schools"

we don't need AI literacy in schools!!! we don't even have REGULAR DEGULAR LITERACY???

There are more places to go inside and workout (paid), than to hang out outside (free).

While we're on the subject, all these right wing guys write "best-sellers" because it takes about 10K pre-orders to be number one on the NYT list your first week, so their rich patrons just buy palettes of their book and voila, John Q. Nazi is a NYT #1 bestselling author. But no one read his book

Supreme Court Overturns ‘Right v. Wrong’ https://theonion.com/supreme-court-overturns-right-v-wrong-1819573211/

instead of punching down on KIDS

Very much looking forward to seeing people with .latinsky.app, .afrolatinsky.app, and .medsky.network handles on here

generally helpful to remember about 19th C US, like much of history: major social issues of the day were no more settled then than they are now, and contesting them took forms we'd readily recognize today

Hope y'all are ready for the default wave. 🌊

<stares in January 6th>

None of this is necessary. And it shouldn’t be happening while people are struggling to fill a gas tank to get to work, take their kids to school, or choosing between groceries and prescriptions. It’s a f*cking moral failure! WE ARE IN A CRISIS

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

they posted like this when beyoncé won a grammy for best country album

Why don’t they just encase President Trump in 7-inch thick glass and wheel him around to events.

FAFO and it's just consequences. FAFO and it's just reaping what you sow. FAFO...you get it.

In light in these events, I do think we need more gun control. Anyone off the street shouldn't be able to just walk in and buy a gun. There should be MANDATORY marksmanship lessons for all gun owners.

Okay, so, what we are not going to do is pit people with high support needs vs lower support needs, invisible/underrecognized disability against visible disability. We only succeed together, and internalized ableism literally kills.

Weird day today. Weird day, every day.

Imagine if you did a Big Boy Crime and the media said you got radicalized by Malcolm Gladwell

PBS is deliberately mischaracterizing and painting a different reality than what is happening...why the fuck

running to the Nazi website to complain that people were being mean to you for hitting the red carpet at Nazi Prom

It's truly inconceivable to me how heinous some humans can be, and yet...

No ....nope. Politics was "invented" by the ruling class to harm people and has no place in government, at all.

Update: It appears they don’t like it.

I'm rewatching the Chernobyl series on HBO, and the opening voiceover from Legasov resonates: "What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all."

Is $69 for a week of groceries realistic? The Banner goes shopping.

There was no shooter, but guarantee there will be a fresh drop of natl guard into the city by the end of the month 🪖

Reasonable, but we ain't getting there with this Congress.

Lmfaoooooaoaooaoaoaaosoaooa

Pour one out for the Hilton staff who are working perhaps the worst shift in food service history rn.

Idk what everyone else has going on, but I made a delicious chicken fried rice for dinner

i'm just chilling at home watching a movie

We got rid of affirmative action so now Black kids have to define themselves by recounting personal trauma to signal that they are Black. overcast.fm/+AAHuusmwS-k

"I didn't realize he would be such a bad policy maker." About a guy who has been a racist, bigoted, horrible piece of shit and a poor decision-maker for decades.

everything trump does is vulgar and undignified: design & decor wellness deal- & decision-making the guy is the literal embodiment of a lack of morals, poor taste, and inability to deliver on the promise of humanity through compassion and care. an absolute monster. the people who support him, too

really hard to trust (I don't and won't ever) the "smart folks" who all say they were "duped," "tricked," "didn't see it..." What exactly DID YOU SEE then? And at what point did you realize you were complicit? it honestly boggles my mind...you suddenly have morals and ethics when you didn't before.

[working at the swastika factory named after a notoriously unreliable crystal ball used by evil forces to conceal true threats] this place is starting to smell like fascism

as much as I hate bezos and everything he does and stands for, every so often I need to access wapo for a curriculum resource. over the last few weeks, with both MoCo and DCPL cards, I've noticed that the library resources error out, and I haven't been able to login. today, this. just swell...

The buying power of $100 is easily down 62% from a year ago.

My WHCD take is there’s no way that party has ever been fun.

everything that trump does is actually preventable, all of it. simply need more counterforce, which will never happen at the administration level.

EdTech is a $250 billion industry that’s expected to triple by 2027. If you want to fight the technofascist takeover of America, raising hell at your next school board meeting is a great place to start.
