exactly, nobody venerates the American diner waitress or the American hairdresser like they do the white American man who works in an auto shop or a factory

Kane (in my working too much era) @kanexan.bsky.social · 6h

I think the closest thing is the Classic Americana Diner Waitress and that’s absolutely not an archetype treated with real respect or deference vs blue collar man tropes like grizzled mechanic, coal miner, or cop.

I wonder what the world would have looked like if all of liberal society had rallied behind Joe Biden as being cool for saving America from day one rather than the world of Entertainment and social commentary deciding him and Kamala were cringe losers for earnestly caring and making them a punchline

gonna be real interesting to see Trump’s polling in two weeks after a ton of people have received official notice that their ACA insurance policies are now going to be exponentially more expensive!

that’s something even fairly checked out people will notice.

Oh look, federal courts are ordering the Trump Administration to distribute SNAP benefits using available emergency funds as designated by law, just like Democrats said they should.

The media hand-wringing around Democrats being to blame for SNAP cuts was such BS when the law was clear.

BREAKING: A *separate* federal court in Rhode Island just ordered the Trump admin to pay for SNAP benefits during the shutdown — saying the government "must distribute" aid using emergency funds and that the benefits should be paid as soon as possible.

I am certainly no seasoned strategist but I am a little skeptical of the political wisdom behind building a giant golden ballroom and sharing a dozen photos of a renovated marble bathroom at the very moment that millions of people are losing access to healthcare and food.

This shutdown fight is about protecting people’s health care and keeping costs down… but Jared Golden? He’s calling that a lie. He thinks Democrats should fold — just like he did.

When I’m in Congress, I’ll always take the side of Mainers – not just give Trump a blank check. #ME02 #Dunlap4Congress

sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!

Part of the goal of gerrymandering is disenfranchisement. As in, it’s not a four gone conclusion that the seat will go to the Republican, but if you think it is, then they will win automatically.

My point being, we need to run really good candidates and gerrymandered seats

Admittedly, my tragic imagination has failed to keep up with Republicans at almost every stage of my life, but I shudder to imagine what they could do if they only needed 50 votes to pass a law. I believe they would effectively preclude further elections and cause damage that is not reversible.

Most of the "decline in birthrate" has come from a reduction in teen pregnancy. Basically, a reduction in child SA, and an increase in women and girls' agency to choose when, where, and with whom to start a family.

White nationalists atheists want to end repro rights and bring back child marriage.

Mekka Okereke @mekka.mekka-tech.com · Mar 9

This.

Some things that fascists that talk about "birth rate decline" know, but pretend that they don't:

There has been no big decline in birth rate for most white women.

There has even been an increase for older women!👍🏿

All of the decrease, is because fewer girls (not women!) are having babies.

It's the time of year again -- time to do your holiday shopping from independent artists. It's more important than ever to support people actually making stuff!

If you're an artist or craftsperson of any kind, please reply to this with what you make and a link to your store and I'll share it!

Far too few people understand that Biden's presidency was the bridge between a status quo serving elites and something new serving the people. That's why elites hated Biden! Whoever wants to be next must seek to build on that foundation. They cannot run from Biden. If they do, they can't be trusted.
