This was my first pinned post here and one of the first posts I was kind of happy about. Right when I started actually using this place.
It is that the power exists at all, to speak on behalf of a god that does not exist. To impose a mythology on a Human Being without consent, teaching them that this mythology is reality.

That's what I am angry about.

The existence of this power is in itself an abuse.

Some of the questions I've had while collecting data:
* Should 17-year-olds be allowed to drive a Hummer H3?
* What is a "non life threatening injury"?
* Are you safe from cars while sleeping in bed?
* How many people die in parking lots?
* What happens when snowplows get too big?

I more than most appreciate the complexity of political decision making. Ideals are fun until they meet reality.

But when you have a child rapist, fascist, insurrectionist as president destroying our government, the path is clear. He needs to be removed from office and thrown in prison.

Happening now in Minnesota: Protestors were sprayed as ICE launched yet another federal raid in St. Paul. Communities are standing their ground while agents escalate force.

Photojournalist @DPet_KARE11News captured these scenes in real time.

Another baby has just died of whooping cough in Kentucky, thanks to RFK Jr. and his merry band of anti-vaxxers.

My feeling toward RFK Jr. and the Republican Senators who confirmed him is utter contempt.

A third Kentucky infant has died from whooping cough in the last 12 months, the Kentucky Department for Public Health said Monday.

The Collapsing Trump Administration and the Corrupt Politics of Corporate Centrism

@davidcorn.bsky.social & I have a spirited conversation about the usefulness of "centrist" Democrats in an era where the majority demands reform & MAGA goosesteps towards fascism.

I am 60 to and I have no desire at all to defend the failed institutions

The Purpose of Government is to Provide Public Services

By that metric, the American government has been failing the American People for decades
@brendannyhan.bsky.social is right: young people are reluctant to come to the defense of institutions that have excluded them, ignored them, and crushed their movements

I think certain organizing trainings did some of us real psychological damage in teaching us that YOU, ORGANIZER, PERSONALLY have responsibility for going out and making people leverage organized power and ultimately saving the world.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

The IDF didn't just strike near a hospital. They systematically targeted and destroyed the equipment at the only cancer treatment facility in all of Gaza.

Let's be perfectly clear about the depths of evil we are witnessing. This is your US tax dollars at work.
