"Thaaaaaaanks!"

Best we can do is a one-day protest, once a month.

Spoken like a true privileged white male. Fascists don't care whether you are non-violent. In fact, they prefer it. It makes it easier to kill you.

"The courts will stop him!" they cried. Meanwhile, the boot of fascism continued to stomp down on their neck. "He's done for, any minute now!!" they continued to scream as their last breath left them. The fascist looked down and laughed, for he knew that was all the resistance would muster.

Impeachment is a lost cause. We already did it twice, and nothing happened. It's meaningless at this point. Meanwhile, the Orange Diaper keeps gaining more and more power.
But please, keep doing the one day protests every month or so... I'm sure that's effective.... wait...

Only if it means they can own another person.

We can dance if we want to.
We can leave your friends behind.
'Cause your friends don't dance
And if they don't dance
Well, they're no friends of mine.

There are no rules in the fight against fascism, because they don't play by the rules in any means. You either meet them on their own terms through fear and violence, or you let them stomp you to death. The choice is yours.

If there is a future, and IF America finds their way out of fascism... they will never forget that the likes of @nbcnews.com normalized the behavior.
You are on the wrong side of history. You are letting fascism win for click-bait. I hope the editors and journalists will realize that.

As you let the boot of fascism choke you out until you are no longer able to breathe, I know you'll still be on the side of "I did the right thing". While that may not be wrong in the moral sense, they still snubbed you out, and you still let them win. You still betrayed all those after you.

There are only 2 things that fascists can understand: fear and violence.
When you say you are non-violent against someone that aims to kill you, you make it known that you are willing to die to let fascism win.

America is now a dictatorship, run by authoritarians. Once you vote fascists in, you cannot vote them out. And once again, NBC news just reports this as another day, normalizing the destruction of the American Dream.
Get ready for things to turn worse. America has not reached rock bottom yet.

They declared Martial Law without calling it that. It's a bold move, even if it was 100% predictable.

For me, this hits in a different way. I didn't really want to live abroad. I left because I realized the United States was collapsing in to authoritarianism, and I knew that any chances at a decent life for me there were over.
The hardest part for me is knowing it will only get worse there.

They say politics makes strange bedfellows… or at least strange hug partners.

Take a closer look behind the curtain at the venture capital firms behind it, and you might change your tune.

No thanks. I don't trust it.

This is false. No "new" base is being built. The funds aren't secure yet because that "Big, Beautiful Bill" needs to pass first. She may have "saved" jobs, but the reality is that once the "BBB" is passed, Michiganders will lose much, much more. Educate yourself, please.

Free and fair Democratic primaries haven't existed since the Citizen's United ruling.

You're free to like her all you want, I never did. That said, I did vote for her, because the alternative would have been much worse. There wasn't much of a choice.
As such, I have every right to be pissed about this, as should anyone that believes in freedom, democracy, and the Constitution.

What "job" did she actually accomplish with this? As far as I understand it, it's not a done deal.
Fact is: She tried to make a deal with an abuser, felon, and known rapist. She lost, and so did Michigan as a result.

She capitulated to a fascist. They even hugged as she cosplayed as ICE Barbie.

She was better than the alternatives during the general elections, that's for sure. That said, there were far better alternatives during the primaries of 2018. Heck, even the beagle killer, Shri, is standing up to Trump.

Right on brand for the Whitmer MAGAs. Point out ANY flaw she may have, and you get labelled as a sexist.

Okay, I'll add "well done steak and ketchup" to the mix. Trump doesn't know what actual good food is.

Stop paying your student loans. Stop paying taxes.
I believe this is the best way to #resist.
In the "good old days", all they had to do to send a message was to throw tea in to the sea. Learn from them, or die.

"Where are all the aliens?", they say. Perhaps we are unique in the universe, because only our special part of it allowed us to live. Without all of these things described in the video, how could any life exist, especially going to the point of evolution where we can think about these questions?

No, the dream of reaching Mars stopped when politicians and their leaders stopped thinking about it, and instead focused on maximizing profit to the people that bribed them.

If he were here, the current administration would label him as an "ultra-radical leftist", and their flock of deplorables would dox him and his family, until they were forced in to hiding.

Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit... the list goes on in allowing these "people" to spread their disinformation - and they say "why can't bsky be more like them?". I say to them: "Fuck off!"

I certainly don't deny that. I've been through these same experiences. Ultimately, though, once you are "blacklisted" from a corporation that you've been fired/laid off/ex-communicated from, those same people will turn their backs on you. I hope that never happens to you.

Your co-workers are not your friends. The minute they are told, or even hinted at, that their jobs may be on the line if they don't rat someone else out - like you - is the minute they turn against you. It's not necessarily a fault by them, but of capitalism itself.
Co-workers are not friends.

Seems like a good explanation to the Fermi Paradox.

I've rarely had to use these machines. Maybe once every few years. While I agree it's always better to "do it yourself" - no system like this should cost $2.50 to barely fill one or two tires. Even so, it's still cheaper than buying a machine to do if for you rarely.

This is by design, I believe. More #enshitification to extract as much money as possible from people. #USA
