Also important... it *is* possible to provide a pension. We're paying for MTG's... why shouldn't everyone have access to financial stability later in life?
Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.
Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.
Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

It also killed lots and lots of people, making the planet safer for billionaires who think the rest of us are NPCs anyway.

Hm... I'm sure this is a coincidence but did anyone else notice the government taking "professional" status away from teachers, nurses, social workers... basically anyone with a legal obligation to report child sexual abuse?

I'm happy to print whistles for folks who need them.
With ICE and border patrol goons spreading out across the country, I put together a resource guide for buying, printing, and distributing whistles, based on my own experience. Now is the time to whistle up, hope this helps. dansinker.com/posts/202…

The Trump regime is an evil, fascist enterprise.
Its supporters are hateful, cowardly, or deceived, but are all responsible.
And I will speak out against it every day until they lose power or come for me.
…because I’d rather die trying than live knowing I stayed silent.

If she (or anyone) believes all of the regime's orders are legal, why is she so upset? Why is "don't break the law" not a perfectly reasonable thing to suggest?

They haven't proven a negative? Huh. It's notoriously simple to prove negatives, right?
(What do you mean no serious scientist or honest intellectual thinks proving a negative is possible??? Weird.)
It's almost like they're playing games with people's lives cuz they think everyone else is an NPC.

This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says:
“The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.

What we're hearing in the news is monstrous beyond most experience. It is also true that run of the mill abuse of kids is rampant. How are those choices made, and how could we protect people from having to make them?

Of course the virus was airborne. The regime is just so deeply against vaccines that it will ignore any evidence that points to their usefulness.
After a bird flu outbreak tore through Midwestern barns, killing millions of chickens and spiking egg prices, the federal government didn’t investigate if the virus was airborne.
So ProPublica did.

Sigh.
Even if the author is a terrible person, there's a whole publishing /printing / distribution network in place that employs actual people trying to survive in the capitalist hellscape. Are you cool stealing from each of them, too?

There is not going to be a way to "avoid getting sued over this" because that's basically just a description of book piracy.
Even the most fair-use friendly courts will hold that "making it available for free because the author is a terrible person" is not a transformative use.

As a public service, someone should put a PDF of the book online so that websites don’t get traffic from it *and* she doesn’t get money from people who want to hate-read it. Someone must be able to figure out a way to avoid getting sued over this

Of course there's a difference between an 8 year old and a 15 year old.
There's also a difference between hitting someone with a stick and stabbing them with a knife.
Being different doesn't make one of them okay. Is it really that confusing?
