Why are we pretending that there are standards anymore? Get them hand off those pearls you're clutching and put some brass knuckles on. I'm sick of being on the losing team. Go get something done.

Clever girl 🦖

The only message I got from this is that it's okay to storm the capital now.

Before the election, I had given some thought to how to deprogram and reintegrate maga. Now that the head of their cult is the leader of the US and yatzi salutes were boldly displayed at his inauguration, it's all kind of out the window. Stopping the flow is impossible. Redirection is our best bet.

Yes.. this has made them incredibly useful to certain groups. How can we make them useful to us instead?

From my understanding, the far right live in a perpetual fear response. A person in that state of mind is constantly looking to identify threat; which is why otherness is their main target. Brains don't learn while in a fear response. We have better luck at shifting their focus to a new target: 1%

That may be so, but they can afford homes, food, education and heath care. Our critique falls on deaf ears as our government sells us out in increasingly bigger and bigger pieces. What's the difference if they keep us in a perpetual sprint to not be homeless and then make it illegal to be homeless?

Looks like people are already getting what they voted for.

I believe you just described late stage capitalism.

And now that tiktok is banned, we won't be able to witness it when Isreal goes right back to bombing Gaza.

We didn't, it's been sitting on a desk for like 30 years waiting for a signature. Looks like someone finally decided it would make them look good.

You use a foreign aid package to justify stripping U.S. Citizens not only of our free speech, but also of an important source of income. Now you have the audacity to say we need to help working families and their businesses? Wild.

When they say “civil” I think they mean Civil War.

Well, now we know why Dr.Phil took back his endorsement

That’s what happens when the RNC backs a candidate with 34 felonies and a violent coup attempt under his belt because, “he’s our best shot at winning”. What a fucking prize.

It’s not incurable. It was done to this country on purpose. There is a targeted attack on our educational system that’s been ongoing for decades as a response to desegregation. We need to fight for what’s left of the institution if we want any chance of fixing this country.
