@dave I mean, if you do or say weird things, then you need to be told you’re being weird, not that you ARE weird as that’s demeaning. “Being weird” gives one agency. It means you can choose not to do/say weird things.
Got to hand it to the Trumplicans. Amplifying lies about Haitian immigrants eating cats in Ohio is a genius way of stoking immigrant fear, reminding us of America’s weird way of treating pets as people, and of course saying Trump/Vance are racists without actually saying they're racist.
@glyph probably more accurate to say “you won’t let him live near the water because you’ve reserved that for the wealthy elites” but your point is made either way 😉

JD Vance says that school shootings are a 'fact of life.’

JD Vance says he laments that school shootings are a 'fact of life' and calls for better security

Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance says he laments that school shootings are a “fact of life" and the U.S. needs to harden security to prevent more carnage like the shooting this week that left four dead in Georgia. The Ohio senator said at a rally Thursday in Phoenix that gun control doesn't stop shootings. He says “psychos” recognize schools are soft targets where they can get attention. Vance says Americans “don't have to like the reality that we live in” but it needs to be recognized and dealt with. He called the shooting in Georgia an “awful tragedy" and said the community deserves prayers and sympathy.

AP News
One of the best uses of VR I’ve seen
Trump railing on about Afghanistan withdrawal to play the patriot card (and distract from Project 2025 craziness)... but ooops he desecrates Arlington Cemetery for a photo op and his thugs rough up a cemetery employee. The hypocrisy is bottomless

Media: It’s weak of Harris to appear with her running mate!

Also the Media:

New trend on LinkedIn - announcing (with great fan fair and animated graphics) that you have BEGUN an education program. Yes. That’s right. Celebrating the accomplishment of paying for a degree/certification, not completing it, just signing up and laying your money down 🙄
@rbreich the defensive responses to your post in endemic of our political situation. Every word you stated is being attacked from “what do you mean by ultra rich?” To “are you sure it’s not .001%?”. Meanwhile Trump says he’ll make a healthcare plan better than the ACA and nobody says umm “how?”
@Urban_Hermit @skydog it’s the taxes. He’s weirdly calculated that way and hasn’t an ounce of compassion. This is why it’s about the taxes.
