  • we told them this would happen while they were both sidesing trump and the republican magats for the last 8 years, we told them if they kept down peddling the republican threat to civil liberties and the rule of law, one of the first things they'd do is restrict the free press, and eventually turn their lights off. media decided they wanted to gorge on views for ad revenue instead, catering to the lowest common denominator. and now it comes to pass.

  • dude, the line ended on january 20th, and so far the judicial refuses to hold the executive in contempt, there is no functioning constitutional law (the thing that all other laws in the united states are based on), we freeballin dictatorship, the only guarantee is suffering and pain. forever.

  • Kier isn't that kinda dude, seems a lot of bread being buttered on both sides of the chamber

  • the world is now gripped in the great struggle between democracy and fascist disassembly with the worlds only superpower squarely onside with a criminal fascist government of russia with no regard for human life even of it's own citizens, with Billions of real lives on the line all around the world, a great many of us will be fighting over tinned beans and rainwater in the next years, there is nothing boring about being able to prepare yourself to keep your family and loved ones as protected as you can, with forewarning, and kite surfing ain't gonna do that. fishing will become more and more useful though, that's a good one.

  • If you haven't figured that out already, you will

  • I'm finding it just like Twitter used to be (which is what I heard it was, and expected before I signed up), minus the overt Nazis, and able to weed out the AntiSemites easily enough with an actual "fuck off into the shadow realm i can't see you you can't see me" block function, as apposed to what Mbin/Lemmy offer which is simply masking

  • I do not hold with this, at all. After leaving Twitter two years ago, and going to Mastodon, and Mbin, when the world started to come to an end three weeks ago, when Trump flipped to making the US and ally of Russia against the world, I needed to be plugged in, so with years of reservations against supporting anything fucking Jack was involved in (he's still the largest single shareholder of bluesky stock, so fuck off telling me he stepped away from the board), I finally signed up for Bluesky, because when shit is going down, I don't need to be browsing some lefty tankie currated community for realtime news, I need to be jacked in to the widest collective there is, so I can parse and disseminate information for every source possible.

  • You can center workers, defense, or social safety net. Pick two.

  • ........ and the United States. These tiered increases aren't going to do much at all in the short term. UK does have nukes which protect it's borders, but it's not going to do anything for mainland Europe.

  • cared before, a great deal for nancy, after two losses to the orange fascist, this last one i'm pretty sure does our democracy in for good, lady did her service, and in the end failed to keep the republic safe. she holds a seat in california, so i'd trust to have another fair election for state and federal reps there at least, pretty sure everywhere else won't though.

  • Every hour there's a different news story saying musk said send the emails, then this office said don't worry, then trump said send the email, then another office said dont, then another office said send cryptic because any communications needs to be seen as being disseminated to enemy foreign actors. yeah, i wouldn't want to be a federal employee anytime in the next couple decades.
