so a lot of people are talking about the 4b movement.
a lot of western women, specifically younger ones, who seem to have largely heard about it through social media via other western, non-korean people, or by articles that cover it with a tinge of orientalist exoticism.

If you want to know where young American women are at, the Google search term interest for the 4b movement says it all. (It’s a South Korean term for women who swear off sex, marriage and childbirth with men)

the Democratic Party spends each election cycle courting the right, and every time they lose they create a fictional leftist version of the Democratic Party and claim that’s the version that just lost.

The only time I've ever voted blue in a pres election the candidate became a war criminal (Obama). My first time ever being able to vote & I had put my support behind a man who is now known as the deporter/bomber in chief. It has been more than just a simple stain on my conscience.

The entire Trump “working at McDonalds” stunt was staged. The restaurant was closed for the day. Staff had to go in just so Trump could fake working.

Trump casually discussing his potentially illegal contact with a foreign leader while leaning out a McDonald's drive-thru window, I feel like I'm having a stroke
"Yeah, Bibi [Netanyahu] called me this morning, and he's obviously got things going well."
When Trump is asked if Israel will attack Iran: "I can't tell you that. That I can't tell you. It would be very inappropriate, but they're certainly in a better position."

Bluesky loves alt text! Many of us try not to re-post images with no alt text so captioning your images will help with your reach. It took me awhile to get the habit but now it feels weird to not do it and even weirder when others don’t. 🧡
dear new users, please use alt text in your images. There’s a setting that will remind you to do it every time. And there’s a huge community of people who will give you tips if you’re not sure how to do it
thanks for making bluesky accessible

While stumping for former President Donald Trump on Saturday, Elon Musk announced that he will give away $1 million each day to registered voters in battleground states, drawing scrutiny from election law experts who said the sweepstakes could violate laws against paying people to register.

what that makes me incandescently angry about the Musk cash-for-votes shit is that it demonstrates that he does, in fact, understand how desperate the vast majority of people are for amounts of money that are infinitesimally tiny to him, and he thinks it’s funny.

Lol that last repost speaks to what I was just saying in my thread - dismantling the idea that amerikkka is a democracy is integral to our fight here in the imperial core. If we don't address this glaring fact, we won't progress.

“In Maricopa County, votes will be counted with drones overhead and police snipers standing ready. Election workers have gone through active-shooter drills and learned to barricade themselves or wield fire hoses to repel armed mobs.”
