When folks point out that there will be no further elections and that the resistance in things like gop town halls today doesn’t matter, this is what they’re talking about. Opposition will be suppressed, violently and soon.

This right here is what's wrong with this country in general. - no empathy. 401(k)s were foisted on people. Prior to the 80s they weren't a normal thing. They became "normal" by removing pensions and slashing savings account returns. And they weren't designed to people's main retirement vehicle

lol saying the Zelensky meeting is "the lowest point in American history" is a bit of a stretch. Are folks just forgetting about enslavement? The end of Reconstruction? Jim Crow? Chinese concentration camps? Mass incarceration? Trail of Tears? Vietnam? Tuskegee experiment?

ppl getting angry at this but he's talking alliances and he's 100% right- you cannot trust a country where every 4 yrs the foreign policy does a complete 180 & tears up treaties and reneges on deals and withholds payments because some sheep farmers in Wisconsin think too many black women have jobs

If I was Zelenskyy, tomorrow I'd be inking a deal to sell Ukraine's mineral resources to China, in exchange for military support and to hell with the USA.

Tonight we found the Scottish bar on the corner, Chicago’s only. The bartender has been a regular since he was a child and the other guy at the bar just lost his husband of 48 years in November. Might be the most human bar experience I’ve ever had. We will go back.

Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities. They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.

The fact that the USA has banned visas for trans people but welcomed rapist Andrew Tate shows how all this "defending women" stuff is total bullshit

POTUS went out if his way to free two human traffickers, and flew them home on a private jet. This is a giant middle finger to every single woman on the planet.

If you're horrified watching Trump/Doge gut federal agencies that we all rely on for our wellbeing as a country and individuals, you have some idea what it's been like to work in media for the past 10+ years.

I think one thing that bothers me about political reporting is this kind of framing. Sure, this could potentially hurt their political standings. But it's going to DEVASTATE people's actual lives. abcnews.go.com/Politics/rep...

I am currently getting multiple reports that Google, in an attempt to remove pronouns in the US government email accounts, just removed pronouns for every private workplace account in the world. If you use Google workspaces, go check on that and confirm for me. Overcompliance leads to stupidity.

My state of mind these past few weeks can best be described as "frantic." I feel like I'm drowning and there is nothing to grab onto in sight.

Work automatically gives everyone paid chatgpt accounts. The only thing I’ve ever used mine for is to generate images of ostriches on bridges to troll my friend Michele who hates both. This I’m not ashamed of.

So many of us want to do more, but often don’t know where to start as the systems we’ve always “known” crumble so quickly. Heather’s post does an excellent job of helping us find ways out of that rut to resist. heatherburns.tech/2025/02/19/s...
