Anyone can become disabled at any time. It’s one of the few minority groups you can always join.
Even if you do everything “right”. Even if you’re young and healthy. Even if you “try hard”
It’s not a moral failing. It’s a part of life.
If more people would accept that and work with us, we would all be better off.
Swedish pension fund AP7 blacklists Tesla, has sold entire stake
In one week
— a journalist has been shot with a rubber bullet while reporting in LA
— Trump has called for the arrest of governor Gavin Newsom
— US Senator Padilla has been handcuffed for asking a question of Kristi Noem
— Tanks are rolling in the streets of Washington DC
— And a murderer has attacked the homes of two Democratic politicians in Minnesota, killing two people and wounding several others.
I recall Trump claiming America under Biden was "going to hell"…
Where is it going now?

Oh look, so they *can* do precision targeting.
Just not in Gaza.
This shit in LA ain't new.
82 years ago,white goons attacked Latinos,Blacks and Filipinos.
For simply being dark-skinned.
My grandpa and uncles were among those attacked.
And just like today,the goons were enabled by government and the media. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoot_Suit_Riots

LOS ANGELES—Responding to escalating clashes between civilian activists and militarized immigration authorities, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass publicly urged protesters Monday not to give the Trump administration any pretext for what they’re already doing and will keep doing no matter what. “Angelenos—don’t engage in violence and give the administration an excuse to inflict all the […]
@molly0xfff then fuck the Democrats too. They’re not as bad as Republicans, but that’s not saying much.
Democrats need to be seen as fighting back, or they’re going to be seen as complicit.
@manchicken the point that @molly0xfff is making here is that the article claims to be about “democrats” but is mostly reporting on the opinions of people who are not even democrats, as well as a few who might *technically* be but have no particular influence in the party.
The democrats have more than their fair share of problems, sure, but the public impression of their ineptitude is at least half just straightforward lies from their enemies
@glyph @molly0xfff yeah, I get that and I don’t disagree. That said, the Democrats also have the opportunity to really fight back publicly, and so far it appears they’ve opted not to far too often.
The Democrats won’t save us, only we can save ourselves.
Sure and if there’s no protest, everybody in media will be saying oh well everything is just fine in the Americans are going along.
Why is it that Bernie Sanders and AOC have overflow crowds to their fighting oligarchy rallies?
The American public, I think knows enough. Why not stick with the politicians that have been saying the right things for years and years and years?
That that does seem to be the problem. The world’s richest men, bought total control of the federal government for pocket change..
They got together and pooled their money. Older American wealth has been contributing to this cause for a half century. If it called conservative today, it’s a product of 200 families spending hundreds of millions of dollars over that time to achieve this end here in the UK and elsewhere.
All it takes is paying attention to journalists since the 70s. They’ve all been reporting on this, but the main problem is I think it’s fair to say that the politicians didn’t say this this is a slow motion coup none of this is an assault on America.
Not even Bernie Sanders.

For all we know, most of the billionaires employ assassins that have been ducking it out thwarting each other this entire time.

Who reads a Murdoch publication these days?
Edited and corrected. Thank you!
Dear Democrats there is a lesson you can learn from Trump.
There are more discouraged, hopeless, people who have given up on voting than there are swing voters. Getting people excited is a valid way to get more votes.
So...a collaboration group, a nobody, and a Himmlerist underling?
That *is* convincing centrist pap.

The fossil fuel industry funds Third Way, and other fascist movements globally.

This is absolutely true.
Also true: this is a problem because it seems perfectly plausible given corporate Democratic inaction.
FYI to anyone who hasn't caught on yet; these are the same kind of Dems who are trying to sell us on "Abundance" which is just recycled Third Way nonsense from the Clinton era.
These people are heavily invested in the status quo, they aren't going to help us change. They certainly aren't going to abolish ICE.
