@DenOfEarth @pluralistic and we rapidly can mix them (only the words, please !) and get a nice way out of enshitification :

Démerdification !

TRUMP NEVER HAD A #SILENTMAJORITY OF FASCISTS

since Reagan & Bush, Republicans had #Saudi #OPEC money behind them. then Bush II called USA a zionist country and the Saudis taught him a lesson. so he made friends with the new oligarch from the old Soviet block, Putin.

Trump doesn’t take sides, only money. so he has the dubious distinction of uniting the USA oligarchy with both Russia & OPEC.

that’s why he is in power: for a handful of milliardaires & their millionaire plantation managers

Solidarity with LA. ✊🏻

y’know when you see bad people talk about the “social contagion” of being trans?

what they’re talking about is closeted trans people and eggs seeing us out and joyous trans people and knowing they can do it too

it’s about wanting us to disappear

and we need you to shut that shit down 💫

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

Worcester Massachusetts is now a sanctuary city for trans folks!

It's official: Worcester is a 'sanctuary city' for transgender community

Turns out Donald Trump isn't the only world leader with a tech billionaire "first buddy" who gets to serve as an unaccountable, self-interested de facto business regulator. UK PM Keir Starmer has just handed the keys to the British economy over to Jeff Bezos.

Pluralistic: Keir Starmer appoints Jeff Bezos as his “first buddy” (22 Jan 2025) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow

@gruber, your piece titled “How it went” brought tears to my eyes. I lost my mom suddenly too, but the distinction is that I was present when she took her last breath and had to call EMS and attempt to resuscitate her. Your beautiful prose elicited the first tears in me in a long time. It stirred something deep within me, and I want to express my gratitude.
