Bondi firing a reminder that even ultra-loyalists get dumped by Trump - Lemmy Myserv one
“Pam Bondi’s swift dismissal on Thursday underscores a reality that has met Trump loyalists from Jeff Sessions to Kristi Noem – no amount of loyalty is enough to save oneself from being dumped by Donald Trump. “Since the president assumed office last year, there have been few people more important to his effort to remake government than Bondi, his longtime friend.”

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/45028320 [https://lemmy.world/post/45028320] > Israel’s defense minister just said it will occupy Southern Lebanon and prevent 600,000 people from returning home. Even more horrifying he says Israel will demolish their homes just like they did in Gaza. This is blatant colonialism & land theft & it is being funded by the US.
Why are some of the “equal rights” liberals I know so against people with autism and Down syndrome having rights?
Why are some of the “equal rights” liberals I know so against people with autism and Down syndrome having rights? - Lemmy Cafe
Note how I say “some” that I know, not “all” and “everyone in the world who is like this”. Well, I knew this girl in high school, she was around 16 and still acts this way because I know some people who are in touch with her and they all act the same except for one who is like an enabler almost. Anyway, she said she was a liberal (not a leftist, but a liberal) and advocated for equal rights. She said she wanted to make sure with the government, everyone had equal rights and that everyone had a say. She wanted to be friends with everyone too, or at least, that’s what her “persona” said. She actually turned out to be really Christian as well, so she opposed the rights of gay marriage and while 16 is too young to vote here where I live at least, she actively voiced her opinion against it, though she didn’t bully gay people unless they were lesbians who she thought were into her. She would go around asking lesbians if they were lesbian and if they wanted to date her though and accused them of “raping” her when they said hi to her, but she would also run Discord servers asking people what their pronouns and sexuality was and acting “inclusive”. Furthermore, she said people with autism and Down syndrome are the R-word and openly bullied them, saying they didn’t have a say. She told an autistic girl I knew that she hoped she got raped, and then said “Actually, you don’t deserve to get raped because that would mean you would be worthy of love”. I get that not all liberals are like this (as a leftist socialist talking), but why are a group that I came across like this? My friend is also “apolitical” but complains about people getting offended by everything because they’re “woke” and called women kissing gross. She is a straight women, maybe bi-curious last time we talked about LGBTQ issues, but she only finds men kissing attractive.
‘A new world is being born’: author Rebecca Solnit on the ‘slow revolution’ the far right cannot tolerate
‘A new world is being born’: author Rebecca Solnit on the ‘slow revolution’ the far right cannot tolerate - Lemmy Myserv one
““Nothing is inevitable,” [author Rebecca] Solnit says. “I use the word ‘evitable’ often.” It’s a familiar idea, that the far right creates chaos in order to distract and thereby upturn productive change, but Solnit dwells on the mechanics: “Authoritarianism always sees fact and truth as delivered by journalism, by history and by science as rival sources of power. Those are radically democratic things. You can be a king or a commoner, and the rules of gravity are still the same. So they attempt to undermine those things.” The politics of chaotic spectacle, disinformation and outright untruth leaves you endlessly trying to prove gravity, your own priorities derailed. The pattern is similar to that in an abusive relationship: it doesn’t matter what you say, and it doesn’t matter whether or not gravity exists. The purpose is to lock you into the engagement so that it becomes your reality.”
