Republicans in the Senate, with one exception, just voted to fund concentration camps and unaccountable squads of out-of-control ICE agents, while continuing to defund hospitals and schools.

Ask yourselves — does closing hospitals to fund concentration camps align with your values?

If, at the end of this dark era, we actually have a Democratic president again, there is one thing they absolutely must take to heart:

F*ck forgiveness.

Our country will only unite behind criminal prosecution and prison sentences, before eventually, slowly, beginning to heal.

Ken Jones, a retired San Francisco firefighter, has died from lung cancer after Blue Shield denied his treatment claims.

Let me be clear, any politician running for President in 2028 who does not champion universal healthcare is automatically a non-starter. I will not vote for someone who kills my neighbors for "shareholder value." You can go burn in hell with your ill gotten wealth.

@heidilifeldman @blogdiva It will only be “stunning” if it is enforced. I have yet to hear what Congress can/will do when Trump ignores them.
@benroyce @wilbr @jairajdevadiga @idlebrain I argue that propaganda doesn’t have to be a lie to be propaganda. I am reminded of my time in China - the news there only covered accomplishments and successes in China and only covered problems and failures from western countries. None of it was a lie. But it was definitely propaganda. That is what we are seeing a lot of here. Plus, it’s often challenging to determine what is true or not without an army of fact checkers at our disposal.
The amount of propaganda bots trying to sign up lately is bonkers. The fediverse feels like it’s becoming a battleground for information warfare. Be safe out there
@gilduran.com All hope is not lost though. I've come up with a plan with good odds of putting him in checkmate during midterms. Motivate him hopefully to keep his fingers out of the election that we all know he'll lose both houses & thus the presidency in. Swift consequences if he does that'll scatter his loyalist rats to the four winds & force his resignation.
Just depends on numbers, mobility, specific event go-triggers & strategic ambiguity.
...Interested?

Or "Gleichschaltung" as it was called in 1930s Germany.
Ya done fucked up A-merica and there ain't no O-Shag-Hennessy coming to save you

Hive Mind: Looking for a sci-fi book read in the mid-'60s. Takes place in a moon colony run by a large corporation. Murders are happening & no one can find the murderer. A detective is brought up from Earth to assist. He is blind & has a "birth defect" that allows him to see people as strange, colorful geometric objects, which leads to the answer. Need author & title.
