Don't pin your hopes on a center-right politician to oppose "law and order". Just because Newsom is a Democrat, it doesn't mean that he is your leftist savior. The Democrats have worked too hard to reach far across the aisle for decades for that to be true anymore.

Donald 'Little Mittens' Trump, our commander in chief, everybody.

Look at all the blue wave hashtag resist accounts, not even noticing that they and the Nazis they think they're mocking, are both speaking the same language with the same targets.

I've read speculation that US refineries are built to handle sludge crude better than the 'sweeter' crude that is currently being extracted via fracking. I have no idea how true that is though.

Aren't his billions and the ability to keep "earning" more a symptom of the problem? He may not be directly responsible for homelessness but that kind of money can only exist in such large sums because greatly inequal income distribution.

And why stop at homing homeless vets?

Why are you so insistent on using dipshit as an insult? Are you implying that I enjoy anal sex?

Just because I ain't as enthusiastic about violent revolution as a CIA agitator plant doesn't mean I will betray the people. For fucks sake...

Society is already plagued by the fantasies of rich or otherwise powerful men. There isn't a morally pure fantasy that will cure the rot if acted upon by just the right rich guy.

You already are rebuilding society by building community locally and you're helping to enact justice by supporting people like @katmabu.bsky.social (hopefully). Don't be hard on yourself because you can't enact a fantasy, it sounds like your reality is already revolutionary.

Leave the revenge fantasies to the reactionaries and the centrists who pretend to be morally outraged. If you wait for society to rebuild itself after it's self-destruction, your death will most likely come first.

The best time to rebuild society is now. Stop waiting for a clean restart.

You sound like you don't have a crippling disability yet.

This is not a threat, but a plea to think of anyone besides yourself. You sound like a goddamn doomsday prepper right now. The best prep for doomsday is to develop beneficial relationships with your neighbors, not to collect looter bait.

"If the ants don't kill him, he will eventually dry up in the sun, still trying his hardest to please his partner."

"Nothing will dissuade him from his lovemaking, not even the opportunistic Iridomyrmex discors ants that will consume him bit by bit as he tries to impregnate the beer bottle. Should an actual Julodimorpha bakewelli female wander by, he will ignore her, remaining faithful to his true love"

George and his family were relocated again to the Tule Lake camp in northern California for failing to pass one of several loyalty tests that internees had to go through. Many Japanese Americans did prove their loyalty, fighting in the 100th Infantry battalion, but their families remained in camps.

How people can look at the top 20 daily blockers on ClearSky and witness the sheer volumes of people being blocked by single accounts every day AND STILL think this way — it boggles the mind

If the anti-drug strikes continue in the east Pacific, they might actually start hitting the Chinese fishing vessels that are supposedly fishing out there. South Americans and Pacific Islanders have been complaining about it for a long while now.

The fentanyl excuse would be much more believable :/

AI and run-of-the-mill enshittification are racing to the rescue!
