Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.

He won't be missed

Union dues come cheap when paired with higher wages.

Seriously why?

Terrifying

Growing networks like these is critical. Keep up the good work.

Just wanted to let everyone know that episode two of The Issue Is... Is out! Here's the link to the YouTube version: youtu.be/6p5ckZ-1CAU

Figured this was a good first post, seeing as it will probably be on my tombstone someday

Time to make Twitter your X

Everyone should go through the confirmation process, it's ridiculous that they're even allowed a recess when there is work to do.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

Maybe the issue is the rule itself.

This is unfortunate, obviously, everything else aside politicians shouldn't have a right to hide anything. Public figures should be public.

"We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope" - Dr. MLK Jr.

These appointments prove that insisting people achieve and be promoted based on “merit” was never really their real concern.

Everyone trying to work out why video games aren’t selling anymore — “Too many games? Prices are too low? Marketing is hard?” — when the answer this time around is actually simple: The world got *fucked* and no-one has any money People are struggling to pay bills and rent, let alone buy your game

I think that these house and Senate investigations should be public, with names redacted obviously. Why are they allowed to hide things?

Sorry but all the fables and fairy tales I read as a kid led me to believe people would be learning WAY more lessons than they actually do

Well I'm fucked.

I probably should’ve asked this sooner, but is the new president Donald Trump the same as the old one, or is he a different guy with the same name?

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
