I am once again saying that letting fascists back into society when they pretend to be repentant like this will lead to the rise of fascism again. They are upset because Trump has made them look like the fascists they are. This does not mean they are on the side of morality and human rights suddenly

liberals created the new deal and the great society specifically because limited government conservatism had fucked up so royally. we were way too polite to the reagan/bush/bush ii types.

"Small-bore, poll-tested versions of the future will not help us."

This is what Democratic consultants and establishment donors want us to ignore.

The only way to elect people who will side with us instead of the robot-owners is with grassroots funding: bethfordemocracy.com

QTP with a video game that transports you back to your childhood (well, early 20's -- I am a bit too old for video games to have happened in my childhood! LOL)

Movie poster for the film Harold and Maude starring Ruth Gordon and Bud Cort.

"Without stating your age, post your favorite film released the year you turned 18."

Could have gone with 200 Motels, but really it was ever and always this one.

Our foreign policy should create peace.

Right now it creates death, genocide, and profits for defense contractors.

It is time for a Congress willing to do its job.

Absolutely.

"These people are stealing your tax money, robbing you of services you paid for to enrich themselves. I will stop that."

That's a pretty simple and effective message.

I’m not having a debate about the meanings of words. I’m focused on making sure that people have the basic needs of a dignified life.

Record profits are unpaid wages and unpaid taxes.

The Revolution Starts Now YouTube video by Steve Earle - Topic

Yeah, the revolution starts now
Yeah, the revolution starts now
In your own backyard
In your own hometown
What you doing standing around?
Just follow your heart
The revolution starts now

The revolution starts now
When you rise above your fear
And tear the walls around you down
The revolution starts here
Where you work and where you play
Where you lay your money down
What you do and what you say

The
revolution
starts
now.

No Work. No School. No Shopping. May Day.

zackeryatlas 12h The degradation of society: 1. Celebrating the k!lling of a CEO 2. Cheering on warehouse arsons 3. Making heroes out of people who attempt political violence You can be outraged at the system and still not glorify violence. These aren't wins. This is a society losing its moral compass. [Coming from a liberal btw]

I don’t know how people keep forgetting that workers rights were entirely written in blood and the capital class had to be threatened with violence before they agreed to things like 8 hour working days and 2 day weekends.

This week's comic on the authoritarian takeover of US media

A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.

The same people who "not all men!" get really mad if survivors of sexual assault assumed that maybe not all men.

I blame Reagan for everything.

haha fuckity yikes

every time I do career day at my kids school I’m like “keep your socials clean, anything you post that you would not want read out by a bored DA in a courtroom in front of your parents, you should not post”

Me! I watched it many times back in the day. So, it's a joint hallucination lolol

Wouldn't it be cool to invest trillions of dollars into a technology that would actually make society better?

Maybe we can call it “HI” — Human Intelligence.

Instead of “data centers”, we could fund “schools”.

Instead of *stealing* art, literature, and science, we help people *create* it.

Crazy!

Wow. This. So simple. So useful. Please, world, follow France’s example.

Artemis shows how much we can do when we dream together.

I want more of that.

It is time to reboot America.

Thread up and down.

"yes" is meaningless if "no" isn't consequence-free. there is no true consent if your job (your HEALTH INSURANCE, SOMETIMES) could be at risk if someone doesn't like that you said no. and we ALL have learned how fast a guy can flip around on you if he doesn't like hearing no.

“ferry to the boatless” is an exceptional phrase

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I.

I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

It really bothers me how effective reactionaries like Jonathan Haidt have been at convincing the median center-left reader that the internet itself is somehow filled with evil magic by its very nature instead of the truth, which is that it has been used to exploit children by Mark Zuckerberg

A 6 image montage of raku pottery work by Alchemy. On the top left is a stout vase with reds, blues and violets. To the right is a teardrop shaped piece in green and red with bubbles. To the far right is a copper coloured vase in a classic shape with greys and browns and glaze peeling. On the bottom row is a bulbous turquoise vase with raku cracks and flecks of gold. In the centre is a gazing orb in coppers, silvers and blues on a pedestal. On the bottom right is a turquoise vase with cracking and bubbles in a classic shape.

I make raku pottery.

Which means clay, fire, smoke . . . and a little bit of chaos and magic.✨

These are my newest vessels from the flames. 🔥

If you feel like helping them find their people, a like or share means so much.🙏

Wishing you joy in the chaos 💙

I prefer my intelligence local and artisanal and situated in my own brain, thank you. No subscription required!

CDC delays publishing report showing covid vaccine benefits The acting CDC director cited concerns with the methodology, but the design has long been used to test vaccine effectiveness.

The leadership at HHS has an agenda, and that is to deprive the United States of vaccines, most especially COVID19 vaccines.

These people have no problem making claims about their belief that COVID19 vaccines are harmful without any data at all.

Now they are hiding data showing the benefits.
