I mean any timeline without this 2nd Trump term would be a heck of a lot nicer.

Hard to tell with the number of bots and how basically scripted many posts and comments are. Unlikely to be any bigger exodus like we're possibly seeing with Twitter until it enshittifies further.

Should be with the salute

We'll at least pretend.

Basically, unless we fix the media control it's an uphill battle. People leaving X and reddit gives some small hope for social media. But it's still rough with Fox, Sinclair, and iheartradio.

The right wing gun owners are certainly more vocal but many left wing gun owners exist.

Yes, pre-pandemic eggs would average like $1.25 a dozen and fancy (more ethical) would be like $3 or $4. After pandemic average had been around 3 or 4 and fancy around 5 or 6. Currently average costs around $9 and fancy around 12. Since our health agencies are getting fucked despite the ongoing bird flu prices are only expected to get worse for domestic eggs. As a bonus to this Republicans are putting tariffs on our neighbors (Mexico and Canada) so prices will remain higher even with importing any shortfall of domestic production.

Eggs are historically a cheap source of protein but are now more expensive than meat. Eggs prices were one of the main stated reasons that people believed the economy wasn't doing well under Biden.

Every child is different and reading is different than watching. The movies were pg-13, the books probably fit that determination as well. But when a particular child is actually "ready" has to be determined by parent and to some degree the child.

There's no uruk-hai hatch scene in the books at least. I read them starting at 7 or 8ish myself and don't recall any related nightmares.

No general strike has ever been allowed nonviolently. How do we organize a general strike when 32% support the shit, 36% don't care, and the other 31% are trying not to be the ones that get shuffled off to camps first? I'm not trying to be defeatist I'm genuinely asking.

Whatever action is made peaceful or not will be used to accelerate martial law. What happens following will not be entirely peaceable but the degree of fighting is unknown.

The alternative is holocaust II so...

And Europe. Tate went to Romania specifically for lax sex crime laws and enforcement.

Gendered violence occurs everywhere. More likely by right extremists and areas with them. You are just unlikely to hear about any near you unless it is particularly egregious.

Because people are still telling us this is better than violence. We also don't have organization. "Lone wolf" attacks will not work and just justify further erosion. We need a pack but no one knows how to form one.

Straight to Russia and China. Then open to everyone.

Increase sympathy, evokes patriotic ire, etc.

Because our facts don't agree with their feelings. Academics also tend to lean left because we can think critically and "reality has a left leaning bias".

Academics spoke up against the admin last time, heck I marched in my city for what it was worth. So time to punish us.

I don't think anything besides the grift and destruction of democracy is "well- planned". An EO doesn't allocate funding or pick a contractor.

Just for clarity NSF postdocs currently make ~60-80k starting salary. A postdoc has about a decade of higher education and experience in research. Many have families to care for and probably haven't finished paying their student loans(unless they were rich or got good scholarships).

Because they've only talked about camps, they haven't actually started them yet.

It's also one of the largest federal work programs since the civilian conservation Corp. Getting rid of it without a replacement in line =bad for economy and jobs.

Right but the poofy dandelions aren't pollen they're seeds.
