every time i see a white guy in their fifties radicalized by the twitter algorithm into racism and extremism i think about how it's a total failure of the youtube algorithm to instead radicalize him into home brewing, elaborate A/V setups, or DIY solar

WE NEED A NEW PARTY. Schumer, Pelosi, Jeffries, et al, represent donors, not US. We are the voters, we have the votes, WE HAVE THE POWER TO TAKE IT BACK.
Stop listening to them. Vote for those who back us. With wages, with housing, with NO WAR, with no money for other countries before our own.

They can't see or hear us, being buried under a pile of corrupt money. Their eyes are closed to anything but money & their ears are clogged with the noise of exclusive privilege

Regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum I cannot imagine what would cause anybody to look out on America as it stands today and think that this is the best we can do.

The leadership has no idea how out of touch with their constituents they are. They’ve spent this whole month putting on a clinic of how to piss off your own base. And unlike the GOP base, this one will turn on you

Again and again and again, the "leadership" does not represent the people. It wants to *control* the people.
We need horizontal organization, and we need elected officials to comply with the basic principle that their job is to *execute* the will of their constituents.
They. Work. For. Us.

An account of living with war, well worth your time.
For the first time in this war, I wrote in the first person.
Here is what it's like to experience an air raid in Kyiv, to negotiate between bombs and normality, and to come out of shelter into the smoky aftermath.

Hey global note. If I say the Iranian leadership is awful that doesn’t mean I think Israel is great. Two things can be bad at the same time. Try it.

Here's a little peek at the life of a 20+ year working poor wage slave in the US. I think we should all be sharing our experiences with each other
Don't feel ashamed if your life is like mine. Most of us are in the same boat, but if we don't share it we feel like we're alone and it's our fault 🤘🏴☠️

And Biden had just as many million dollar donors, they were just from defense contractors, companies like Pfizer, and the banking sector.
It's not that Trump isn't awful. It's that, until they're BOTH not awful people are going to feel disenfranchised and will sit out elections.

I know it’s not the party line but the folks I work with on visas are among the most highly paid in the office, we need them, and they’re constantly recruited so, far from them fearing their visas going away, we fear them getting poached. A lot of people are talking out of their ass on this subject.

I’m not against college, and have a masters degree, but I’m totally serious when I say I’ve learned more things that were useful to my life by watching YouTube tutorials.
Should we continue to encourage kids to go to college ? Or push them to take up a trade ?
I believe in college. Learning how to learn, IMO, is a critical life skill. Being exposed to people of different backgrounds, makes yiu wiser
Qualifier- it should be a school you can afford.
